This is now my headcanon for Seamus! The little glimpses into their life were great! Seamus and Dean were three-dimensional, and I did find myself shipping them!

Goodwork

This is touching. And I can't see the slightest bit of (pre)slash in here, unless I *want* to see it (and since I've just spent *hours* reading Dean/Seamus… yeah, I want to see it).

But you're right about the annoying ending… no romance in this… nah, the label didn't say romance, so what was I expecting?

Great work!

I really like your take on Seamus's back story and I especially love your characterization of him! It's a nice change from the really common "loud/funny/hotheaded" one dimensional interpretation of him. This was really great and enjoyable!

It fits so well into the characters. You got it just right with a pretty sensitive issue. The last paragraph broke me so that's great :)

This is a lovely story. I always felt that Seamus was underappreciated, and if I ever write a fanfic about him I will be sure to use some of this as a background to build on. It ties in so nicely with the books too. I really do like it. The one thing that I was a little dissapointed about was not being able to see Dean's reaction. Still, I think you ended it at a pretty good place.
Good Job!

this was beautiful, enough said

Where's the sequel?
This was so good!

Wow. Brilliantly well written!

WHERE IS THE SEQUEL? THIS WAS AWESOME! THERE NEEDS TO BE A SEQUEL!

WOW this is beautifully written. I love the strength of the story you've built up around Seamus (and Dean!) and they were both such solid characters. I also loved your little snarks at how Harry was 'probably doing something heroic' or whatever. Dean and Seamus are like that perfect little window into how 'normal' Hogwarts students probably see the way things go down there.

Thanks for sharing!

This is really good, made me totally rethink Seamus! You said something about a sequel? *hopeful face*

Very interesting, thought provoking piece on the effects of abuse. An enjoyable read.

My god. A nasty shock, eh? I remember that part. He never said if his dad ever got over that "nasty shock"... Amazing what can be pulled out of those little things.
