This story is so great. I love flawed Draco/Astoria and you did it perfectly. It's so real and perfect and you did an amazing job!

Wow, great work! Please continue!

I loved this!

Wow. I've already said in an earlier review for a different fic that I love everything you write, but I'm still amazed at how true that is. It's like... I can read anything you've written with absolutely no previous attachments to the character or pairing and completely love it. WHAT EVEN?
I guess you must simply be an amazing writer.
(P.S. This is my favorite Draco/Astoria fic that I've read.)

Although you don't clarify what happened to her to damage her this way, this is still really nice and I love it. Thanks for writing!

Love this

That was perfectly delightful. I love how Astoria didn't even think about why her roommate was a guy... Well, ever, and how Draco was being a decent human being with his cute jealousy. I really like your idea of anal Astoria, but how she wasn't default anal, because the war had to have had some effect and it did, and it was a perfect effect to have on somebody like Astoria. Hope all that makes sense. Good job!

this is so painfully cute!

I HEART IT MUCHO!

Wow, this was amazing! My favorite thing about it is that you made Draco the one who helped Astoria heal rather than the other way around - usually Draco's all depressed and Astoria cures him somehow. This was really original and well-written, and I hope you keep writing! :D

Favorite lines:

"[S]he saw a woman with a career and cold eyes, who was maybe missing something vital."

"At least Astoria had escaped the web that her blood had woven for her long before her birth."

and

"There is nothing wrong. I'm perfectly fine. I got up late this morning, and I left work early this afternoon. Maybe you're just weirded out by how bloody spontaneous I'm being."

love,

not spock

Oh my god, Jenny — that was one of the best things I've read in a long time, and I'm not just saying that, and I know I tell you that every time I read anything you write, but this was so perfect. I had forgotten all the prompts I had given you when I started, and I hadn't even planned to read it — I was going through to see what I have read and what I haven't, and opening up review pages, and the title of this one caught my eye and I saw that I gave you prompts (I can now pick out "cycle" and "conforming" and maybe "converse") so I read the first sentence and I got sucked it. I also didn't realize she was wearing an ugly wrap dress until I Googled it, and I had been imagining something completely different but: ew. Anyway, I loved every single thing about this. All the small reactions to her parents disowning her, but how she still seems to be on good terms with her sister (because she wanted to marry a pureblood), and how you can tell how they'll jump when she marries Draco (but you can tell she has enough to stand up to them) and /just/ perfect. I love her cycle and all of Draco's defenses and their rooming and long-time long-changing friendship aaaand how he repairs brooms but doesn't have to... how she suddenly lets her walls down and realizes she wants to visit everywhere and how she went to Draco's door when her parents kicked her out! I loved all of it and I cried more than I have at any of your fics (it had such an underlying feeling of sadness); I sobbed, oh my god.

I cleaned up my favorites so I don't favorite every single thing I ever read! Stop making me favorite your stuff because it's all perfect!

LOVE YOU,

ela

God, I love this. It reminds me of "One Day" by David Nicholls. Kind of Harry and Sally-esque. It's well-written and I love how you portrayed Astoria. Good job

Amazing!

Wow. I really enjoyed this! Definitely one of the best Draco/Astoria fics I've ever read. I love your imagery, the perfect repetition, the characterization. Altogether, quite wonderful little story you've got here! :)

Wow, this story was absolutely amazing. Especially that last line ans the last scene.

You're a really great writer :)
