I have been horribly remiss in responding to this lovely gift- I'm so sorry : ( It's no reflection on the story and completely due to the chaos of my rl right now.

First, thank you, thank you for writing Hagrid! You captured his inner strength perfectly, which is so hard to do. I love the care he gives Garrick, and that it's snape who helps him when he falters - just needing that little push/help on the next step.
And Garrick! He's so broken, which is heart-breaking in the best of ways. The delicate tension between them when he stays at hagrid's is just delicious, and I like that they both seemed aware of it without having to say anything, knowing it wasn't right yet. The little mentions of magic here and there, and the way you touched on other post-war issues (luna, snape), without over-dramatizing them is so well done and one of my favorite things to see in post-war stories. This was a joy to read, quiet and flowing beautifully together with a mix of sadness, hope and love. Thank you so much
