I'm not embarrassed to admit I had to knuckle at my eyes before writing this. :)
This story has everything : Ron who is mature, observant, caring and a real friend to Harry; Hermione who is vulnerable and not just a brain like I rarely see her in fics; Ginny who is perceptive and supportive and who really wants Harry to be happy; and Harry and Severus who dearly love each other. The image of their hand clenching, unclenching and reaching out will stay with me for a while.
You treated the miscarriage with tact and sensibility. I could really feel Hermione's and Ron's grief.
The ending was beautiful and made me cry AND smile.
This was a perfect story to end this fest with. *Applauds*
