Fic: "The Absence" (2/2)

Nov 19, 2006 17:52

Title: The Absence
Ship: Draco/Hermione
Rating: R
Summary: It all begins when Draco is declared insane.
A/N: Two years ago, I promised (probably in exchange for some Orlando/Leila fic) onecrimsontie a D/Hr fic. So, for onecrimsontie--for international phone calls and cheer packages, everything in between.

Big thank you to streetscribbles for reading this monster and brainstorming titles ( Read more... )

draco/hermione, fic

...That was amazing. I don't even like Draco/Hermione and it was amazing. Just...wow. Truly beautiful work.

Hey! Thank you very much for reading! I know you're a big D/G fan ;D so thank you for giving this a try; it means a lot!

Wow!!! It was such a fantastic story! I never saw the twist coming! I love the dynamics between Draco and Hermione. Great job!

:D Thank you! Really glad to hear that about the twist - I tried being really subtle about dropping hints--anyway, I'm really glad it was a twist for you :) Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks a lot for reading this-and the great review! I actually found out earlier today that some final changes were lost cuz I made it directly into this document that was strictly for copying and pasting into LJ. But then I found out I went over the character limit per entry, so when I started over to break it into two parts, I forgot I made those changes--mostly small foreshadowing plot things. Anyway, I meant to say the plot occured to me first and then it was just writing it, and that I tried choosing words that created the mood I wanted--and I appreciate so much that you liked that :D

O yeah! Thank you for saying that about style! That was kind of what I was most worried about; most of what I cut a lot out of was prose I felt was ultimately irrelevant/unnecessary (ahhh still overlooked some) :P

I hardly have words for this, Leila. I mean, it's Draco with Hermione, which should have been enough to keep me from reading, but it's you, too, and so I dove in. And I'm not sorry.

It's astoundingly good - your hard work definitely shows. Plus the inspiration - love that poem. I'm sort of at a loss here, which is obvious, but it's good. It's so, so good.

Ker, thank you! Hearing from you on this is just the best -- cuz yeah, it's Draco and Hermione, like 13000dlfjlk words, and it worked for you! So THANK you for taking the time to read it and leaving me such great feedback :) The poem is really gorgeous - the song...I like it too, it has this evocative, hollow sound, but I also feel like the song could have been a bit more.

If I don't talk to you before this Thursday--going to visit friends in IL. and won't have a computer there--have a happy Thanksgiving and I'll TTYS!
