FIC: Slow and Steady Wins the Race

[enne_de_paix]

And here be the first part of my new fic, which will eventually become Harry/Neville. The chapters will be fairly short, the story will be mostly uncomplicated but I hope you'll enjoy it. Even you, lilysunshine1. I know it's not Draco but try it, please!

Okay, I am really not finding the time to read your fic. I am so sorry, my love, but here is that cookie I promised you. Kissing in the latest chapter. As for shagging, not this time around. Not this fic. But if you like, I would be more than happy to write you a little extra. Maybe an anniversary short? *wink*

I'll totally read your fic as soon as I can.

Hey, don't worry about my fic! Yours is so much better! Work on that!!!

A little extra? An anniversary short? For me?

Do you have any idea what that would do to me?
Is there any of my fics you'd like to see an extra to? I'd be happy to try for you!

*loves*

Aw, so sweet of you... *kiss*

When is the last part of Nine Days going to be up?!?!? I didn't have time (family visitations etc) to review 8 when I read it and then I got the email about this reply here so I'm just going to say:

So painful. But kind of in a good way because I'm holding out for that elusive happy ending.

WHEN ARE YOU POSTING??? *needs fic* It's ten-fifteen at night where I am. What time where you are? Ditto the first question of this paragraph by a squillion zillion.

Okay, finally. Lord almighty, here I am, reading it! I think it's a strong beginning, because I am getting hints of the deeper events and emotions going on. My guess at this point is that the war has not been concluded, and Neville is suffering from how he is taking it. Harry seems to be doing much of the same: Tossing and turning, tossing and turning and wriggling and moving and sighing with frustration. Harry sat up. He couldn’t understand why the sleep he craved insisted on eluding him yet again that night. I like this. Tells me a lot without telling me anything specific... without dictating how I should read it

Hello! Sorry it took me so long to reply to this; Christmas and all, takes an annoying amount of time, doesn't it?

Anyway! My guess at this point is that the war has not been concluded Ah, well, it's been concluded but perhaps seems firther away to Harry than Neville. Something I plan on explaining later.

Tells me a lot without telling me anything specific That's the hope. I wanted it to be non-specific but not so much that you need to ask questions about it. If that makes sense. without dictating how I should read it. That's something I would never want to do; not intentionally, anyway.

I think he might bottle up stuff I think that's always how I saw him, even before book 5, because he's so shy he doesn't even get the chance to talk about anything, whether important or not, so it's like he has no choice but to keep it all to himself.

I do think the chapter ends a bit abruptly. Good point. Yes, it does. I think that was sort of because I intended the chapters to be short. I might have written another one by now, but you're the

Yeah, I would go stick it up at a Harry/Neville comm. Sorry no one else commented. I am not a big Harry/Neville fan myself, but I don't mind the pairing. I've been co-writing a fic that will become Draco/Neville and Draco/Harry, but so far there isn't anything there.

But I think this has promise, definitely. I just don't feel entirely drawn in yet, but with short chapters, thet wouldn't really be a problem. And I like what you've done with Neville, as I said. ^__^
