I absolutely loved this! You have completely reminded me of how much I love Harry/Ron (not my usual pairing), but the tenderness here (online and off) was just perfect.

[starstruck1986]

Thank you ♥ Tenderness is a key element to Harry/Ron for me, so I'm really pleased it came through and that you like it.

This is absolutely fantastic. I've been reading it for days in snatched moments and now I have to pick up from preschool again! I'll be back to review properly!

This is such a sad story in so many ways. I'm really glad that it has such a hopeful ending. Ron's isolation amidst so many people who care for him feels very real and claustrophobic. I love that neither he nor Harry are perfect, that they both behave badly, but that they are both striving and that eventually they realise that they are striving for each other.

You use the chat room device very well. I expressed reservations about that before, but this is cleverly and subtly done. There were lots of ways in which a writer could have got that wrong and you avoided all of them. There are enough clues for the reader - but it remains realistic that our boys wouldn't have worked out who their chat partner was.

I got all jumpy when Ron sealed away his computer - please don't anybody ever make me do that!!!

Great emotional reality and a lovely ending (&nice smut of course!)

*cheers* I'm really pleased this worked for you, as your initial hesitance had made me very wary of continuing on course with the fic.

♥ Thank you for reading. x

Poor Ron - I'm so glad he found Harry online and was able to tell him even when he wasn't actually ready.

I'm not one for giving Ron an easy ride. But my readers generally tend to beat me up if I don't fix it by the end.

Thanks for reading ♥

This was awesome! I like how you gave little clues of who they were in the chats and someone they didnt get it. Ron's angst was so real and emotional at time and must importantly real.

When and how they got together, just plain wonderful.

Thank you sweetie! And thank you for the cheerleading too.

I accidentally missed the trigger warnings on this, and I ended up reading it, but I enjoyed it so much that I'm glad I did. Very realistic and intimate portrayal of depression. I enjoyed this piece. Nicely done. :)

I'm sorry that you missed the warnings, but very glad that you read and still enjoyed it. ♥ Thank you.
