I've read the entire X-Wing series myself, so I understand the reference...
Not bad. Not bad at all. I was interested in the parallels you drew between Ron & Harry's relationship compared to Face & Phanan's.
As for critique- The beggining conversation with Hermione didn't seem to express the emotions that Ron must be feeling. I understand that just dialogue adds a particular atmosphere to the fic, but I can't help thinking that some description would have helped create the mood you were looking for.

| I loved this! The dialogue/letter format was great --- it isolated feelings and thoughts, and kept the insecurities and eyes darting and awkward coughs out of it. Those, of course, have their place and can be very effective, but this was a great take on the subject and you handled both the storyline and the format really well. |

not bad...not bad. definitely not the kind of outcome that i'm looking forward to, but still, this was...well, to be honest, fair.
hmm...after your AN, i was prepared for something huge...haha
to be completely honest with u, i was disappointed in that sense. :\
oh well...
it was well done in the sense that u managed to pull it off with dialogue only, no descriptions, or any of that other stuff, at all. aside from that, with more tweaking, it could have turned out a lot better.
keep writing!! :D |

It wasn't as emotionally charged as I Was prepared for but it was still
good. That's just how Harry would do it though, sacrifice himself and
tell everyone to be proud of Ron for being there. Great job, it
wasn't too depressing, but it was good. Keep up the great work.

Alas, there was no room for her - and since HBP it adds an even greater
punch that Harry never got the chance to make things right with
her

I wanted to get both sides in there, just to show that Ron could come out of it and look forward to life again.
Thanks for the review! |

Well written. Heart stopping, scary, not the way I want it all to turn out, but never the less - well done. The letter from Harry confirming Ron as his rock was exceptional.
(Off to cry now)

| ...that has to be the best (and only to my knowledge.) parallel ever
written for the good doctor's death from Iron Fist. Interesting though,
how both Harry and Ton seemed to think alike, about having no future.
Guess Harry's was taken away at a young age by good old Voldemort. Nice
if not a depressing change from the multitudes of stories that describe
the boy as fighting tooth and nail for a future. This, this was
something different. A good different. Bang up job

The prophecy was playing heavily on my mind while writing this, as one interpretation could have been that if one died, so would the other.
Thanks for the review! |

Wow, that's a bit haunting. But it's also not too far off how I was
seeing the end of Book 7 playing in my head as I was reading the latter
stages of HBP. OK, so maybe Harry catching
an Avada Kedavra is uniquely yours, but him sacrificing himself to
defeat the Dark Lord, welcoming mutual destruction? Frankly, from a
logical standpoint, it seems like the most probable positive outcome
of the series at this point. Kudos for giving that substance --
something I don't think many people of our shipping preference
would even try -- and for doing it such a well-written, in-character
way.
You also did a very nice job giving it all meaning with Harry's letter. I found this bit particularly well conceived:
I
told you, didn't I? I was nearly put in Slytherin. The Hat wanted me to
go there, said I'd be great. I would have been, too. I would have taken
Voldemort's place. Either that or died early when my ambition got the
better of me.
But you kept me grounded, mate. You were always there, always a show of what I was fighting for.
That really fits, but it's something that I'd never even given serious
thought to in this particular way before. It really is probable that
Harry would have been in Slytherin if it hadn't been for Ron. He really
needed a friend -- and not just any friend, but the right friend. It
really gave the whole story a lot more impact, emphasizing why Harry
was doing what he was doing.
Anyway, very nicely done. But you'll have to pardon me for holding out
some hope that JKR has a bit less tragic conclusion finish plan.

| You know it's funny, this entire story was practically dialouge. No description whatsoever. And usually that bothers me about an author's way of writing. I can't picture a thing without description. But the way you wrote it, I could see everything and imagine myself there. I was literally sucked into the story because the way you wrote this, was brilliantly unique. Therefore, I applaude for your wonderful story. Keep Writing! |

| I wanted to try something different with this - showing, not telling, as you noticed. I'm glad that it worked, as I wasn't sure if the emotions would come through, but the reviews seem to suggest that they did |
