| This was amazingly brilliant. The impact of emotion it had on me was astounding. One minute I would be crying and the other I would be smiling softly. Truly wonderful writing.^^ |

oh. my. God. That was one of the most amazing... I'm speechless. And that's saying something. It was brilliant. HORRIBLE EVIL WRETCHED WICKED AWFUL ...... REALLY REALLY MEAN! But brilliant. There better be something where they meet again or something. I say this in all my reviews when someone dies, but this one especially. For goodness goodies, I cried so much!! Okay, understand? This is an order: THEY SHALT MEET AGAIN! Heaven, afterlife, reincarnation, a place with clouds and harps, whatever, just as long as they see eachother and they're happy....
PLEASE!!
Okay, anyway, fantstic job and I am so adding you to my Author Alert- thingy so I can tell when the next chapter comes out (which WILL have wings and chorus' of angels!)!! Marvelous job, and the fact that I haven't used one smiley face in this whole review is really saying something, because I love the little guys. PERFECTLY AMAZING!!! I LOVED it!! xD |

| Wow. This is probably only the third fanfic that has ever made me cry this hard. Molly's chapter made me cry first, but Ron's chapter made me cry the most. The end... . But now I'm very worried, because something in your fic made me think- JKR always forshadows everything, and you pointing out Ron's "It's the only way...I've got to be taken." just makes me really paranoid that she's going to sacrifice Ron in book seven. I've always been so sure that Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley wouldn't possibly be killed, and that it would be Percy, or Hagrid, or Dumbledore even instead... but now I'm not so sure. Thank you for opening my mind, and for making me cry. |

This is amazing. Your Molly chapter made me sob as I thought about how I feel about my own children.
I really hope that you continue this story. |

Oh, my God. I can't breathe. That was amazing. Simply amazing. I don't think I've ever cried that much during a story before (and I've read my fair share, let me tell you).
Your characterizations were perfect. The way you have Ginny and Harry getting closer is ideal, and I love it that they haven't started making out yet, that they need each other. Hermione's bit of the story was awesome; she is the one I feel the sorriest for, because she and Ron were just beginning their life together. And this last one, the paragraph about making it possible for his family to go on and his friends to live - I'm completely inconsolable.
I hope Ron doesn't die, but if he does, JKR just needs to copy and paste this into her book. Seriously.

| Oh... My... God... How can I put it any other way? You have managed to capture the essence of life in a 5 part story. This was one of the most moving stories I have ever read. I wept like a baby. What an incredible tale. My hat's off to you. |

Do you know how difficult it is to cry in contact lenses? Your eyes water when you put them in, but cry? No way.
I so desparately needed to cry at the end of this chapter. It really touched me. The rest of the chapters had a degree of hope in them, making me feel a little sad but happy that they were slowly finding solace.
This one was even more joyful and yet it was the one that really screamed "sob" at me. So yes. Congratulations. You made me cry in contacts. |

| This... man Jen!! Man. I'm such a ball of mixed emotions. You would think that out of all the chapters, this one would have me wailing but it doesn't. Which, in turn is making me feel guilty somehow. This chapter explored Ron's depth so thouroughly that I think I've been blown away and that's why I'm not crying. Also, you've made his death right in a way that I never thought anyone could (and you probably didn't either!) Brilliant, brilliant chapter. |

OK, I'm crying again.
The long-term flashbacks were a very nice way of setting things up.
This is beautiful, thank you. |

| ok... time to write a review. not to tell you to feel special or anything, but i rarely do this. review i mean. read fic i do it all the time, i read it obsessively. but review, it takes something spectacular to make me review. your fic has made me write a review. wow. well, first off i must say that i'm a big sap and i cry in almost everything. but there are different stages of those tears. there is the slightly misty tears threatening, the one time tears, the almost sobbing, and then there are braveheart tears. braveheart tears you might ask? well braveheart, my second favorite movie of all time inspires me to all out sob. your fic is on the braveheart level for me. wow, again. nobody wants people to die. sirius, cedric, anyone. but die they must and that's kinda what makes good stories. if they don't move you to feel something then they aren't very good. ron dying, well nobody wants that... but sometimes its got to happen. and the way you made it happen was lovely (in a non wierd way). and i loved the way you described him, "just a big ball of loyalty and freckles". perfect description, perfect. and how you showed him and hermione, also perfect. and then comes the best part for me. harry and ginny. oh how i love h/g. i think the perfect h/g's all come from ginny's never relenting support of harry through thick and thin. strange as it might sound, i want harry in book six or sometime to break emotionally. just all out let it out. and you know who i want him to break to? ginny. so when harry's emotional floodgates break in your fic, oh man that's just stellar. ok, see when i review i really review. keep up the good work. and any more h/g fics you want to write i will be sure to read them. thanks again for the great fic. |

Oh, Jen.
You already know I love this story, even though it makes me cry each time I read a new chapter. At least I hope you know. I think this chapter is my favorite.
There's just so much in this chapter I love that I'm afraid that if I start quoting parts, I'll end up sending you the whole chapter back. I absolutely love the way you've written Ron in this chapter (except for the pesky fact that you killed him).
I love the fact that you show us how much he loves Harry. I think sometimes we tend to forget about that aspect of their relationship. The falshback to his childhood, hearing Harry's story--he already knows Harry, even though they haven't met yet. Ron gave a frustrated humph. "He just is, Perce. It's like that the sky is blue. Harry Potter is just good."
"Like a Unicorn," Ginny announced happily from their mum's lap.
"Yeah," said Ron, excited. "Like a Unicorn. He was born that way. Like the inside of him is un...unto...."
"Untouchable..." his mum offered.
"Mmm hmm." Ron nodded. "Untouchable. So, it didn't matter that You-Know-Who tried to kill him, because there was something in him that You-Know-Who couldn't hurt."
"All right," said Percy. "What was inside of him that You-Know-Who couldn't hurt, then?"
"I dunno," Ron told him. "I don't think it matters, either. What does matter is that whatever is inside of him, saved him. It...it saved everyone, right?" Ron looked to his mum for confirmation. "You-Know-Who killed loads of people. He probably would've hurt lots more, too. But he can't now, because Harry saved everyone. Maybe...maybe he was supposed to save everyone." I love this section here because it shows a depth to Ron that is often overlooked (and it shows him having that depth at a young age).
And then with the flashbacks to the events in PS and PoA and GoF reinforce that depth and the love Ron has for Harry. And we get a bit of insight into why he acted like he did in those situations.
All that leads us up to the ending, where we see Ron demonstrate that love and loyalty--where he is acting perfectly and totally in character. It reminds me of the verse "Greater love hath no man than this; that a man lay down his life for another." What a perfect example of that.
I have to say that this chapter really has made me love Ron even more, and I thank you for that.

This is one of the best compliments I could get on this chapter. This whole story has made me appreciate Ron in a way I never thought possible. I'm so glad this chapter made you love him even more. I love that quote you gave. I might have to steal it and put it in the summary of the story.
Thanks for the Happy Birthday!

OMG, amazingly awesome chapter! No fair making me get all choked up so early in the morning!
I don't know why I like this story so much, Ron is one of my favorites and I don't want him to die. This is really good, emotional punch, however.
My favorite part of this one was seeing what was going on with Ron and the others when Harry was missing in the maze. Nice job! |
