I wasn't expecting that.
But I was unbelievably pleased!

Excellent!
Thank you for this!

it's at times like these I get annoyed that there aren't any other way on this site to save a fic than to add it to favourites, because this isn't the kind of fic I love and which to send onther people to, like my faves
this is the kind of fic I read when I need to read something that's a different kind of depressed than my own, to cancel out my depressed
I don't really enjoy it per se, but after reading some of your other fics (that I did enjoy) I found this fic that has that undefinable something I sometimes simply need to cope now I don't know how to save it :(
either way, I will be back to read it again
thanks for publishing this - it helps

I have truly never come across this love match before, but I must say, it's perfection. And...why not? Well done!

ok... what the actual fuck? i mean, don't get me wrong but i was so not expecting that ending. why is this labeled as minerva and harry being main characters? SHouldnt it just be harry? I'm so confused...

I'm not sure why I followed this, habit maybe? Favorited it? That's easy. I loved this. It is strange that I find myself reading so many sad stories lately. Honestly it's not good for me, but meh :) Thank you.

Oh...Oh wow...This...This was just...I have no words.

Thank you for writing this completely and utterly beautiful piece. It was such an honor to be able to read this.

I did not see that coming...

This snapisation of Harry was nice, the story was good. It was funny and sad. I was also completly surprised by the ending.

Very lovely; I liked this a lot. It really played on Harry being an outcast even among his friends, that the trio is a trio and to break them up seems disrespectful of all they fought through.

I also really liked your use of certain words and phrases: memories he was never going to make, and such like that. You have a nice capture of the English language, and Harry's Snape-snark was perfect.

Such a good story - then the repulsiveness of Ron & Hermione. I have to go poke my eyes out... so gross

This is why PAIRING LABELS ARE NECESSARY!

love it! didn't see that coming although maybe I should have, love it!

woah. Little bit strange, but I suppose it makes some sense.

Whoa. Apart from the ending coming completely out of left field (although I now understand the stepping stone scene with McGonagall guessing at Harry's problem), this was really, really good. So many meaty things to mull over. And I love this Harry so very much. He's bitter and insecure and furious and, above all, real. This is a Harry I can understand and empathize with. This is a Harry that makes sense to me. I've really enjoyed this ride with him.

It seems like I keep coming back to this story, to read it again and again,hoping to understand what about this fic brings me back. I found this fic extremely satisfying. When I read the epilogue, it was just... off. It didn't quite resolve the knot i unconsciously had. I never read a fic with h/hr/r before -though I did see some summaries but they seemed to focus on sex, not pathos.

Now re reading Deathly Hallows, one sentence seems more conspicuous than usual since reading your fic: Everywhere he looked, he saw families reunited, and finally, he saw the two whose company he craved most.

I loved every detailed sentence in this story. It's breathtakingly heart-wrenching, yet in the end when Hermione and Ron finally catch up, it provides unbelievably strong emotional catharsis.

Thank you fir sharing this fic

:o Didnt expect that ending haha but i loved this :D
