... This was so awesome! Oh wow, I loved it. The fighting, and getting back together was great! You did an amazing job with this story, and I am glad I decided to read it. I was about not to cause tend to shy away from Show Character/OMC pairings. Boy am I glad I decided to read it. Thanks for doing the bigbang!

Thank you!! I'm glad you decided to read it too ;) and that the OC wasn't too much of a turn-off.

Thanks for commenting :D Glad you enjoyed!

This was such a spectacular story. I fell in love with how utterly clumsy Harry and Ron were in this fic (and everyone else too, really), even though there were plenty of moments where I wanted to shake the foolishness out of him. They were all just stumbling blindly, making loads of mistakes while trying to find the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak, and that just made the entire thing so realistic. If I didn't know better (or worst, really), I could have easily accepted this for an actual canon epilogue. (if only!!)

I'll say it again: this story was spectacular. It was well-written, realistic, and just utterly enjoyable (and hot! totally, totally hot!). I'm not much of a HP/RW shipper (prefer them over HP/GnW, though), but I seriously think I've been converted. This was recommended to me by a reliable friend with good tastes so I figured I'd give it a shot, but since I enjoyed it so much I think I'm going to check out the other fics from this fest, too.

*Sighs happily*

Keep writing!

Wow - thank you!! I'm glad you found it so realistic! If only this had been the epilogue... well it would have been a very long and smutty epilogue :P

I'm surprised you sat through 60k when Harry/Ron isn't even your favorite ship... actually, I'm really flattered that you enjoyed it so much that you did sit through it! Saying I managed to convert you is a huge compliment, so thank you!

And thank you again and again. :) This comment made my morning. Cheers!!
