Reviews For A Pair of Phoenixes
I was in fic withdrawal (it’s been so long since you’ve updated TT… but then I am addicted to your fics so any amount of time is too long ^^) and reread this since I really love this one and I cant believe I never reviewed because it’s so incredibly emotional and gorgeous and *sigh* you’re a master of mushy writing ^^ I’ve been reading mushy fics for research purposes (I seem to write angst too easily but I think I suck when it comes to fluff TT) and this one has to be the master of them all. And I did not cry (I didn’t… you can’t prove anything *sob*) – it’s amazing how well you nail those last few scenes especially; Severus’ frustration and that useless feeling when your unable to do the only thing you want to and the relief and disbelieving joy with Harry coming back as well as Harry’s own depression… you just write so well, I’m constantly in awe of you and your fics ^-^ (not to mention absolutely adoring the image of Harry and Sev cuddling up against the headboard or in that rocking chair thingy and Sev telling Harry stories… that’s just gorgeousness personified ^^) Part of the reason I had to review though was the way you wrote Sev’s ‘last day’; especially these two lines; “There would be a period where Severus thought the time would never end, and then all of a sudden it would seem as if hours had flown by” and, “Severus watched the sun set...his last sunset...in equal beauty to the sunrise at the beginning of that day and he wondered where the time had gone” I used to have to go to my dad’s house and absolutely hated it (so much so that I’d pray for anything at all to happen to stop me from having to go… it’s a bit depressing but I suppose little kids have less of a grasp on the finality of things like being hit by a car or breaking a bone or whatever) and those two sentences especially was just so much like the way I’d feel the day before I had to go, like the time would fly and I’d want to reach out and physically stop it while at the same time it would crawl and feel awful because I knew it was prolonging the inevitable, and everything at home would seem so much better and homier when I knew I’d have to leave it for awhile… you just wrote that so extremely well (and that didn’t make me cry either… not at all ^^) Sorry to get so emotional and OTT, I just couldn’t not mention it (especially since the first time I read this I hadn’t joined P&S yet and didn’t want to review ‘til I had… and then I forgot… heh, don’t worry, I know how stupid I can be ^^) Do you think you’ll continue this fic? I cant help wondering about Ron and Hermione’s reactions to getting those timed letters, no doubt telling them about Sev’s suicide (hehe, I wonder if they’d think it was catching… especially failed attempts; it seems to be going around ^^)… ooh, imagine if Ron’s was found by Molly… hell, she’d be unbearable if she found out. I also cant help imagining the happy time after Harry wakes up (sort of), full of all those moments of mush that seemed sad and onesided before and would now be father son mushy moments… moments of mush… mushy moments… clearly I cant stop uninspired alliteration… but it does bring to mind plenty of the kind of gorgeous little scenes that you’re so good at ^^ Even if you don’t write it it’s very easy to imagine so thanks ^-^ I hope your muse hasn’t disappeared (they can be so flighty TT), that your safe and happy and that life’s treating you well ^^ Oh by the way, sorry I’ve been making Antonomasia so depressing of late – it’s been weighing on me too which is why I’m gonna try to get to the fluff (or at least closer to it) with my next update (I’ll upload as much as I can in one go to try and propel us past the angsty waiting Harry seems to be insisting on ^^) – once the h/c starts it will just get fluffier – I think I did a crap job of pacing really with all the bad stuff coming first in wave after wave of difficult to read torturey stuff, definitely can’t blame you for skimming it at the moment ^-^ - I’ll hold out hope that you like the fluff when it comes ^-^ Have fun and talk to you soon hopefully (looking forward to reading anything more you write ^-^ ) Author's Response: Hi, sproutchild, Thank you so much. I do love to write those mushy scenes, lol. I'm really happy that they mean a lot to you too, and I'm sure that when you get to that point in Antonomasia that you'll do beautifully. I'm sorry you had such a difficult time when you younger with going to your dad's house. It's really sad sometimes that kids don't have more of a say and that their wishes are not always considered. I do plan to write more of this story, eventually...there's still a few loose ends to wrap up, but in the meantime feel free to use your imagination, or even write something in the universe, if you wanted. Thanks again, so much, and I'm looking forward to your next chapter, especially when we get to the fluff...can't beat good fluff! Kristeh
Author's Response: Thank you.
Author's Response: Thank you! Hope you like it!
Author's Response: Thank you! Yeah, by now Severus has grown very close to Harry.
:-) V. Author's Response: Thank you! Yes, I thought the 'saving people thing' would do it, too!
Author's Response: Thank you! Yes, things are going to begin improving now...finally.
But that was so so so mushy and beautiful. I'm going to have a good day at work now! Oh Kristeh, you are such a beautiful writer. You just have such a way with emotions. Words are failing me at how much I enjoyed this chapter. Slave Child you said? Hmm, now you've really made my day, even though I have to go to work now, because my bus comes soon! :) Author's Response: Thank you, Pandora! I'm happy you liked it. I did really enjoy writing this chapter, but I love angst and mush; It's why I write, lol. And yep, now it's back to Slave Child for a while. Hope you've had a good day at work. |
