son_of_darkness, I hope you'll enjoy this despite me doing quite a bit of 'cheating the system' as well when picking from your wish list. And thanks for allowing me to slip in that one un-asked-for character!

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?

*KISSIES EVERYWHERE ALWAYS*

Wow, thank you so very much for the gorgeous, detailled comments and for telling me how it made you feel - that means so very much!

The Ron/Narcissa thing made me grin, because I *never* get het bunnies, but that one hit me hard during the writing :).

Am especially glad you liked the ending, since the betas forced me to write a second half after the H/D/F part, and I'm very glad they did...

And ok, now I *have* to ask whether you thought the writer was someone else? Just curiosity :)
