I have adored this story and this was a marvellous final chapter. :) You are so brave for choosing to do a WIP for this carnival and doing it so very well. :)

*hugs your wonderful self*

*hugs back*

Thanks for sticking with this until the end, hun.

There's no way I'll try to do a WiP in a situation like this again. Ack, what pressure!! LOL

Awww ... I'm feeling melancholy too because I hate to see this end. Everyone needs a Hugo in their life to kick them into gear when the engine stalls. I've loved this story so much and you did the loveliest job with it, even through the angsty parts. Thank you so much for sharing this!!!

Thank you for reading and commenting and sticking with this until the end. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. If I had a spare Hugo, I'd send him on to you. :)

Oh, no, I don't want this to be the end! Your story has such a special place in my heart, I've truly enjoyed waiting for and reading each new chapter every week. It's been quite the journey. Your characters were written so well and the story had such a great rhythm. Very awesome! This will definitely be a story that I'll come back to again and again : D

Thank you so much! It's wonderful for me to know that the story really touched you.

Funny, I couldn't wait to get this one done with, but in the end, I'm sad that it's over.

aaahhh!!!! *squees and faints* my insides literally jumped when i saw you'd put up the final chapter, and just. oh dear GOD, this is just sooooo wonderful!!! i adore hugo even more, everyone needs a little oddness in his life and then oh the line ( ... )

Thank you so much, hun! Such wonderful compliments.

I emailed my beta when I was about 500 words into writing this chapter and told her I kept tearing up--just too emotionally invested in the characters, I guess.

In a nutshell, this is how I see their lives going: Al and Corey stay together through most of college, but then their different career paths and ambitions tear them apart. Years later, NY Governor Malfoy schedules a meeting with the top Internet Security analyst in the country....

*snerks*

Thanks for 'spending' this summer with me, both reading my fic and writing yours which I absolutely adored (and which was my favorite of the fest).

Cheers!

i get that, i love writing angst, but it does get emotionally draining, and it shows in your writing that you love your characters!

teehee, i love how you see it! you should TOTALLY write that, god knows i would definitely read it!

awww thanks, i had so much fun reading and writing, and i've already started planning for next year's carnival (i am TERRIBLE)it was brilliant hanging with you and your wonderful story!

go neirí an bothair leat! (best of luck) :D

Oh...YAY!! I was actually worried that you'd leave it angsty. :\

I'm glad Harry and Ginny finally told James off; I hold out hope that one day he'll come around. :(

Hugo was seriously awesome. He totally gave Al the kick in the teeth he needed.

Corey looked shocked at first, then he seemed to deflate, to become small and scared.

Me = D: D: D:

I love love love Al's Gay and Proud shirt, and I love even more the fact that he wore it for Corey despite not feeling it yet.

I'm going to pretend that the guy with Remus is Sirius, whether you meant it to be or not. :D

I love this story so much, it's my favorite out of the whole carnival. I adored Al, even when he was being a selfish git, and I love how you took him from shy scared boy barely able to admit he's gay to a still-scared young man able to kiss Corey in public.

Thank you for giving us such an incredible story! :)

Thank you for sticking with this all summer and for the awesome review.

I loved writing Hugo--I have one of those 'strange ones' in my family, so Hugo has a special place in my heart.

I think James had pushed as far as he could and it was time to put him in his place. Unfortunately I don't think it'll have much of an effect. He's just too bigoted.

The guy with Remus: I left that a bit vague on purpose--I have some on my flist who love Remus/Sirius and others who love Remus/Severus, so it could be either. Up to each person who they see it as. I'm fine with either. :)

Thanks again!
