My god, it's 1 AM and I'm crying and this is just so beautiful and heartbreaking...I almost wish I had stopped reading before the epilogue, but I thought the bittersweet ending was perfect in its own way. I'll be completely honest in saying that this fic was somewhat overdramatic and not so sharply written, but the raw emotion and feeling of it just swept me up and I still tore through it in a day. Truly a wonderful piece. Thank you for writing it.

Yes this is a complete bullshit about " not jealous")

Great story. Real tearjerker. Thanks

Well, I’m pretty sure I’m not going to be able to handle the dynamics of this story. I don’t think I’m up for the bawling my eyes out that this story is sure to cause. Maybe I’ll come back to this one day, but we’ll see.

It was a good first chapter, I just don’t think I’m emotionally ready to attempt reading the rest of it, now that I’ve got a bit of a taste for it. I’m also struggling with Harry being a “friend with benefits” kind of guy, since that isn’t how I know him to be in his character...

Amazing story and great read but one thing in the last chapter if it August and hermione is 70 turning 71 then that means harry would already be 70 not 69

Sex should never be used as a weapon in a healthy relationship and adding on the extra grief of that she was fertile for a child during that time when hermione herself had no grief because harry had done it while she was away and rosalie was obviously not hurt by it he should really just be lectured about not listening to her.

This was a great story, a little dissapointed that they didn't live happily ever after, but one thing is bothering me, Hermione died younger than she should have because of a cold, due to that and the emptiness of his house and heart, Harry likely died because he lost the will to live, that and damage war. But why are Ron, George, and Bill dead? They should be fine, given that witches and wizards usually live until at least 100...
Would love it if you wrote another story like this one, my largest issue with you is that all your stories are too short. Please make longer ones

Your stories are great . Especially this one . The the last chapter is a bit emotional . I am a big fan of your writing.

Amazing and sad ending. I loved the story it came alive. It was wonderful, i loved it.i cant say enough good things about it.

Great story i loved it so much!

I think it is absolutely ridiculous to have her mine take back Harry like that so soon. If hermione had been dealing with people who think of her as a scarlet women since her fourth year and then all the difficulties she faced during the pregnancy and later, she would be cold towards harry who was the catalyst of it and certainly not passionate. they moved very quickly to the forgiveness and honeymoon part of the relationship. This will only mean that they have a lot of unresolved issues. Aorry to say this but hermione acts live a love struck fool many a times which she would never show. And many a times hermione has simply given in which I think is totally out of character for her.
I apologise if I sound harsh but it is my honest opinion of the story.

*floods of tears*

Oh Christina, how could you do this to me, break my heart so thoroughly? *sobs more*

This has truly been one of the most wonderful, beautiful and loving stories I have read. You have taken us on a roller coaster of emotions, from anger, laughter, fear and love, to now such deep sorrow.

You have painted such an incredible picture with your words and story line, that I could easily see every moment taking place like a movie in my mind. I could feel what each of the characters was feeling, good or bad, and lived through every moment of their lives as if it were my own.

I am so happy that Harry and Hermione got to live the life together that they so richly deserved, having a strong and loving relationship and so many beautiful children and grandchildren. I was also so angry at J.K Rowling for never having the courage of her convictions and taking the easy way out when it came to the characters being together. At least with your story I got the ending I ALWAYS wanted, even if it does have me crying my eyes out.

Thank you so much for writing this beautiful piece of work and for sharing it with us all, it is so very appreciated and adored.

Arrrgh! That's one of things I dislike most in a story, when trained professionals FAIL to follow their training. First, in a combat situation, you DO NOT allow your personal feelings to interfere with orders, that's the way you kill your colleagues. Second, no Doctor would leave an unconscious woman with an unknown man (hey, ever heard of polyjuice?) in a hospital room unless he was a RELATIVE! Harry's been gone for five years, how does the Doctor/Healer know he hasn't become a nutter? And his actions demonstrate EXACTLY why the Healer shouldn't have left them alone. She's defenseless and he's kissing her when she might rebuff him violently for doing so?

Ah, the problem here is that now everyone will say she got the job ONLY because Harry recommended her. Also, her pride would have prevented her from saying she loved him, too. Having been in breakups and getting back together, the who got ditched ALWAYS has an issue with pride getting in their way (it's also a self-defense thing, trying to prevent a repeat of the pain).

I think you're making her want him too much. I think she would be livid and regard his getting "her" promotion as just one more betrayal. She might love him, but she sure wouldn't admit it. And most women I know would have slapped the shit out of him for kissing her.

First, because he assumed he had the RIGHT to kiss her,
Second, because he assumed she would WANT him to kiss her,
Third, because he is too selfish to understand why she would NOT want him to kiss her.
