Thank you very much! I'm glad you found your way here. :) (Note to self: must remember to repost at my journal! *headdesk*) I'm glad the backwards thing worked, too. I was trying to find a way to keep this rarepair interesting, and I thought, well, if the mystery of the whole thing is sort of based on how they possibly got together, then that should come at the end. :) A bit gimmicky, but I thought it might work for this pairing. Great to hear that you enjoyed it.
Fleur is always such fun to write, so I'm glad she worked for you, too! She was definitely meant to parallel Snape himself in the first war. I've never thought of the pairing before, but once I started writing, it didn't strike me as even that odd a match! Now this might be my personal canon for them. :) I'm so glad you liked it. It's good to see you!
