this is great

it's the first one that doesn't have ne tantrums thrown and gives you a positive outlook at all of them so thanks for making my day

I read this a while back and wasn't able to review. Today I thought I'd finally rectify that. This story is beautiful in that it just feels right somehow. It's not overdone, everyone's precisely in-character, the canon pairings are there, there's no fluff or betrayal of any kind, and Harry and Hermione seem to be faithful and caring spouses to Ginny and Ron, and yet it's absolutely H/Hr! This could easily be an epilogue to the HP books. You've done an excellent job of reconciling canon with higher truth. Bravo!

I love this. I like how Ginny's not jealous, but understands it. Normally, I don't like fics that have Hermione and Harry married to the Weasleys, but I loved this one. And how Ron is clueless. LOL. Awesome job!

I remember this story strangely comforted and healed me great deal after the shock and disappointment and even hatred from reading HBP. But I couldn't remember the story name and author. Whenever I had time, I tried to search this story among numorous post HBP pics but used to fail and felt moody. So you know how happy I am now that I at last found this story again. I think I'll remember your authour name and the storyname like my own name from now on hehe. And after rereading it, I don't think I had wasted my time at all.

I read this story last year but it seems I forgot to review it. I remember it gave me some comfort back then, and for that I want to thank you...
I also want to add that I'm looking forward to read more of your work, so please, write more...

I never tire of reading this story. I read it everytime I remember what transpired in HBP and I get a bit sad. This story reminds me that no matter - H/Hr had that deeper connection, one that mere mortals long for...

I read it a while back, but not sure if I left a review. This is one of my favorites post-HBP. Yes, despite H/G. It also made me read your other fics, and I must say I am glad I did. You are quite a writer. Thank you for sharing your gift.

MMMm.. Argh. I assume you wrote this fic to show the stronger bond between Harry and Hermione in response to the Harry/Ginny and Hermione/Ron ships. My only problem is that Ginny apparently thinks it's "okay" to keep Harry to herself when she KNOWS that Hermione comes first in Harry's life and vice versa.

Ah, I never realized I could enjoy a fic where Harry and Ginny are married! I'm glad I read this. I'm so glad you wrote it. Thanks for having the creativity and courage. It's done many of us good.

Great work, you've got her!

This piece of fiction restored my faith in that deeper love, too. I guess, if it ends this way, it's all right then.

That was a magnificent piece. Not overbearingly fluffy to the eye. I wonder why I've never read any of your works before but you've clearly made a fan out of me.

Fantastic job! I'm looking forward to reading and reviewing more of your works.

Yehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.................................................................This I like, This excellent. And you are right, a few mouths ago if I read this I would go like "Man, you crazy". But now, it's the best alternative route I've seen for Pumkin Pie after I finished the Book that should not be named.

I had read this story a while back but forgot to leave a review. I also read the reviews by others posted here and I totally agree with all of them. I suffer a major heartache because of HBP. Though I still hope that JKR is not literary blind and would redeem herself in Book 7. I think maybe she just wants to get all the meaningless relationships for Harry out of the way first (Cho, Ginny), through which Harry learns and matures, so that he could come together with Hermione without any third party interference in Book 7. I hope.

For me though, this story, along with several other stories in this site, has left a very deep impression in my psyche.

You don't know me, but I thank you all the same because your ability to write has changed me.

Your story (which, by the way, really is very fitting/descriptive/definitive of H/Hr), has ended for me a two-year funk caused by a shattered life.

Your story restores to me the belief in a deeper love; that it exists, even if I may never find it in this universe, in this lifetime.

Two years I was in a limbo, lost, adrift in a life without hope. But my heart heals after reading this story (and some others in this site, including Taste). Because this story make me realise the kind of love I want; and the love that I had lost was not it. That realisation heals me. I have lost someone, but now I realise he was not my 'Harry'. That makes me okay.

Thank you. A million.

Okay, now this is important - is something wrong with Portkey's e-mail notification mechanism? Because I didn't get an e-mail that you'd published this, and I'm about to have a nervous breakdown thinking "what if I hadn't, on a pure whim, gone to visit Paracelsus's profile page?". I need to read all the good H/Hr fiction I can get, I can't afford to miss any!

I liked the story. There's so much detail accorded to the Hermione character in the canon (and so little detail given to Ginny in comparison) and it's nice to see the old "two halves of one soul" thing summarised so well here. Their picking up each other's words, the butter dish, the cloak - very comforting to read (especially after the last two weeks!).

The bit about the wedding photograph is one of those twists that distinguishes a 'quality' story/author from a run-of-the-mill one. So clever - I would have never thought of it - yet it fits right into the JKR universe. A wonderful, second way to illustrate the feelings that are running just under the surface but which no-one dares to mention out loud.

Two dominant feelings after reading this -

a. Would the 'real' Ginny be so accommodating, so sharing of the husband she "loves dearly"? This is where I get mixed up with 'fandom Ginny' and the one from canon; even after HBP we don't know much about her at all.

b. It's so *sad* that it has to be this way to get H/Hr rolling from what we read in the sixth book! I mean, I prefer the H/Hr pairing, but I don't dislike Ginny or Ron ... but there's really no way out of having one or more of them unhappy (or dead!) for we selfish H/Hr people to get our way, is there? Dead Weasleys, evil Weasleys, or just unhappy/unloved/secondary Weasleys. In these early days of post-HBP recovery I'm still too soft to face without a qualm that which must be done for the 'ship to survive ...

Thank you for the story! A nice 'warm' little read, although still a bit ... depressing ... too.
