Klynie is a very lucky person!!
Oh, my gods! I hardly know where to begin. I wish I could write something this beautiful, this meaningful and intense. People talk about becoming a bigname fan, and how cool it would be, but the work that goes into the stories most well known fanfic writers put out is what makes their popularity justifiable and understandable.
I can tell you adored writing this story, and that it was fun for you to write. It's so well crafted and flows so freely that it's impossible to miss your obvious joy in this gorgeous creation.
I adored Luna and the small, but significant part Neville played in this fic. She, the strong, yet mysticle witch who is still such a wonderful friend, and he, the kindly, noble man who has grown out of the awkward schoolboy and into the gentle young man who complements her nicely.
Harry's feelings and thoughts concerning his friends rung very true for me. His consideration of Luna and the feeling of simplicity she brought him made me smile. Hermione's comment about agreeing with her and feeling that she might be going quietly mad caused me to grin. And, Ron's reaction to the book made me giggle aloud.
Severus, oh, dear Severus, you've created a wonderfully fleshed out character for him. He's happy, yet real. He's scared, but not scared enough to let his fear cripple their relationship. I just loved him! Also, the fact that you had him thinking about them being equals and with strength that was very compatible with one another reminded me of IGToW's characterizations of Snape and Harry. Wonderful, wonderful work, my dear.
