I...I had to read that in two parts. Towards the start of the game of Exploding Snap, I realized that all that while, my muscles were tight and tense, my jaw was clenching, everything was, like. I felt I was in a permanent state of fight or flight, with small bouts of just utter, utter desperate despair.
This is the thing about your fics, love. They pull the reader in SO much and so deeply and so completely, I felt. Not like I was any of the characters, but as if I was Scrooge and there was a Ghost at my side compelling me to read and keep reading and not stop because I had to see.
I stopped and I'm glad I did, because when I came back to the fic and read that amazing, wonderful, fantastic ending, I feel so much relief and just. Complete emotional release.
This wasn't reading just a fic. This was a terrible and beautiful experience.
Which is, really, all I've come to know when I read your writing.
God. It was. *feels faint*
Is it okay to end on a strangely silly and almost trivial note and say that now, all I can think of is Ron/Narcissa?
