Reviews for In Ruins
MBP chapter 3 . 4/4/2010
George isn't the only one still hurting from this... this chapter absolutely left me in ruins, too. I'm so glad you're writing again, too, because you know how your way with words just does me in. This chapter was absolutely no exception. You're such a poet, and you express George's pain so vividly that even three years after this book, you've brought me right back into it. I loved this. Is it over, or will you write more? Please say you'll write more...

Oh my God! Now I feel like crying! ON EASTER! Just kidding- I don't mind, but seriously... wow...

This was beautiful and has to be one of the only song fics that reads even better with the song behind it (the rhythm of your words goes EXACTLY in time with the beat of the song. It's weird...) which, obviously, is a major accomplishment. This was so, so sad and yet so in character. The last little bit about wishing he could go back to the days he used to want to get away from was so... perfect.

Also, kudos for NOT using the angst genre-tag for this. Good for you! :D

But, for real, this was just wonderful. Weirdly, the part with the girl was probably one of my favorite parts and... I have no idea why. It was just so in character for some reason. I really liked it.

I would keep writing, but I think I'd just start crying so... Great, great work. :)

I've been meaning and wanting to read this for so long, and I FINALLY got here... and wow. This packs quite a punch and makes me ACHE for George. :( I also have been meaning to send you a message of your own. I hope you're doing ok and enjoying the holiday season. Expect a PM soon. Sorry I've been MIA for ages.

George isn't the only one crying...

I'm so sorry this took me so long to get to, but man was it worth the wait.

Every bit of this made me ache for George. The song worked SO well, and every scene you chose to match up with every line just worked perfectly. Some of the lines in here, too, were just killers. I have to show you which ones:

"For a brief moment George wonders how long it took Harry to stop crying over Sirius." ... Something about this put a lump in my throat. It was like someone finally acknowledged what Harry must have gone through while I doubt the Weasleys - other than Ron and maybe Ginny - really thought about it much.

"But right now George thinks there are things that aren’t worth anything, like a hole in the head and a brother in a coffin." This made me lose my breath. Because, really, I'm sure this is exactly how George - and everyone reading DH - felt at that time. It just HURT. And there just didn't seem to be a good enough reason.

Ok, can you tell I loved this? I do hope you'll write more for it...
