*claps hands gleefully*. I'm suddenly very teary-eyed, a bit overcome by how all of you have given me something so precious: your creativity. And your story, my friend, hit one of my secrets spots (looks around shiftily, about to step in the shite), a love of everything phoenix. Yes, it's true. Well, not the chicken team, but the phoenix itself. I loved what you did with Fawkes in your story, and this one is absolutely beautiful, that Fawkes would evolve into something even more beautiful, and would remember Harry and Severus every year. I loved their banter and obvious love for each other, but still with that smexy passion too. Just lovely!
It was so nice getting to know you as part of the Team. I commend you for your original story--Team Dragon was lucky to have you. I hope to see you around, and when I do, I'll be sure to give you an affectionate ROAR.
Thanks again for the fic--especially as it's a continuation of your Games fic, I'll cherish it.
