Reviews For Lily's Charm
Funniest part: "The arses of magical creatures aside..." ROTFLMAO! I completely threw back my head and guffawed at it! Amazing, hilarious part. Aside from that brilliant piece of humor, this may sound...weird...but these two sentences(in the first case's, paragraph) were my personal favorites just because they were just...perfect. "“I have nothing to fear from death, Harry,” he told him gently. Harry quieted at that, and he brought his eyes up to study his father. Severus lifted his head to hold his gaze. “I know what awaits me and I came back only for you. Because you needed me. There is nothing for me here with you gone, Harry.”" UGH! Perfection. *blows kiss* So...heart-pulling, emotional, and yet comforting in a weird way. The second goes to a spot towards the end. (Those last two paragraphs, by the way, were just beautiful!) "Harry leaned into Ginny’s embrace as if accepting some sort of protection from her and for a moment, Severus saw Lily." Such a lovely (almost) parallel there...My brain morphed Harry & Ginny's moment into the image of a Severus & Lily moment and back...It was a lovely mental-morph...*sigh* I say it in every review I think, but, I love this story! Will be checking...hmm...spasmodically! for the next update! Author's Response: Took notes...ROFL You're funny. :oP I did enjoy the arses comments as well. We needed some humor out there! :o) Actually, the lines you liked the best...well that's not weird at all. There is comfort in knowing that someone loves you that much, that life is meaningless without you. *sigh* And yep, the parallel there really blew Severus. He is just now realizing what it will mean for Harry to leave this life...all that he will miss. A terrible, terrible fate. I'm so happy you love the story so much. :o)
You're brilliant. Author's Response: Well, thanks Jade! I'm glad you enjoyed the chpater and that you got choked up and felt the ache! I love to hear it. :oP The relationship is actually a very easy one to write. It just feels natural to me. I'm not sure why, but I am enjoying it so much. Go get your glass of wine and then come back for 48...:o)
Author's Response: Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the emotional upheaval. I love emotional upheaval. :oP
Will you be bringing the Deathly Hallows into this/ Author's Response: Doomed to be a sacrifice. Wow, that does sound pretty bad. LOL Deathly Hallows? You mean the actual three items going together? Nope. :o)
I seriously love this story. I'm hooked beyond measure. I even love the fact that Harry is so much more sensitive and it doesn't take much to make him cry -- throwing your life through a loop and everything changing in a matter of months would definitely do that to someone. Had it not come down to the fact that he may be dying in the near-ish future, I'd suggest getting him a therapist, poor kid, lol. Author's Response: Yeah, I was expected like a zillion reviews. LOL That's all right. Yay for my 400th reviewer!!!! :o) ROFL ROFL. Okay, way to make me die right in front of my computer. I need it for typing!!! "Had it not come down to the fact that he may be dying in the near-ish future, I'd suggest getting him a therapist..." ROFL That was great. Thanks for the laugh! :oP
Fantastic on so many levels - loaded with angst, a little bit of hope, and a dash of caring friends! The best stuff to just make a reader have a heart attack while reading. I got pretty emotional over here reading when it finally dawned on me what Sev's plan is...Kind of hit me when Remus figured it out... *sob* This story, seriously, just continues to get better and better. I know my reviews are not very detailed as some, but I just HAVE to encourage the continuance of this absolutely brilliant and amazing story! I hate to say this, but sometimes I like your work better than J.K.R. herself! *smacks self* That's an awful thing to say, since without her this story wouldn't exist! But consider it a glowing and screaming praise to you. Will be checking ferociously for the next update! Author's Response: Thanks Raven! You're awesome. Thanks for the double review. Hear attack! LOL *sheepish, but not really*. yeah, Sev's plan is a bit heartbreaking, isn't it? Poor man. Better than JK, eh? Hey, who I am I to argue? ROFL
Author's Response: I hope you won't be too sad for 47, though I think you might be. :o( Sorry. Thanks for reading and reviewing. I hope you enjoy the rest.
Author's Response: Thank you so much. I'm so glad you are enjoying the story so much. :o)
I would also like to simply cut and paste my twin from another dimension’s review so I can go under the covers of my bed and sort these feelings that I'm still not really feeling out. This has no reflection on your writing. This chapter was the best by far and I wish I could say that I felt everything with the characters as I usually do...but this hole just won't fill up. Perhaps tomorrow. But I can certainly understand how hard it was for you to write...but thanks for typing through for us, it was wonderful. I too, wonder who it was that helped Harry get the floo box as well as what Ginny will find out when she contacts Dumbledore. No doubt Ron and Hermione would have come with her...I just hope that they have some idea of what's going on as well as the sense to not push Harry for details...if he ever returns to the land of the living. Seeing Severus determined to tell Harry, no matter what happened, no matter that they (supposedly) can't do anything about it was the hardest. It was extremely hard to see him in so much pain, express so much grief and sorrow. Ok, the hole’s about a third of the way filled now. It was good of Dumbledore to send Remus in too. I don't know if that means that I'm able to understand and perhaps accept Dumbledore's reasoning...but it was a good thing he did, making sure Severus wasn't alone. Harry and Remus' attempting to guess what Dumbledore told Severus was torture. You could see them both become more uneasy with Severus' not answering any inquiries directly as well as where their imaginations were leading them, into continually deeper and darker thoughts. Unfortunately for them, they never would have come up with the truth on their own...and that hurts. It truly was torture to see them struggling to breathe like a fish out of water, attempting to grasp for a scrap of truth. It's extremely sad. But, I am grateful for Sev. It was really hard for him to tell Harry (and Remus too, I imagine) and yet he did, because Harry does better on more information than none, no matter how hard it is to bear. And there's no way that Harry wouldn't have demanded to know what was bothering his father if Sev didn't tell him. But I prefer to think that Sev didn't think twice about telling Harry...and I hope I'm right. I thought it was extremely clever of you to give us all this dialogue about Harry being a horcurx in Remus' mind. Somehow it made it harder to endure as Remus has never been present to see Severus break down, loose all control as he did here. That means a lot in the way of their friendship as well as how much he trusts Remus, and knows that Harry needs his support too. Hole about two-fifths full now. I thought that everyone's reactions to the news were exactly as they should have been. Harry's venomous anger at his father for wanting to run and not confront Voldemort was piercing. It hurt. But, it was also true; you can't simply say something isn't real because you can't stand to face it. But this situation is real and they have to face Voldemort one way or another. Hopefully with a good outcome that all will enjoy. And as much as I would like to believe Remus' words to be true...I do not think that Lily's Charm is useless. I just hope I'm right. However, I do agree with both Remus and Sev, Harry will attempt to deal with this on his own, even though he has those two men in his life...and I just hope with my broken heart that Harry will listen to reason and not rush head-long into danger this time around. I don't know how much Severus can take. One thing I am curious about are the thoughts that Harry had while he flipped angrily through the photo album, ripping and crumpling the one picture of Severus smiling...it's sad. And I am somehow unable to see why "All of this was due to him [James]." But Severus was even sadder as he put Harry to bed and heard the message that James left him. That broke my non-existent heart too...right in time with Sev's. And Severus' final and complete break down...was...hard. Thankfully Harry was there to share in that sorrow and grief. Thankfully they'll both work through it together, along with Remus. I just hope that they come out the other side intact. Or even if intact is impossible, together. Well, my hole is about half full now. Or perhaps half empty. I don't really have the emotion left to explore it further. But thank you for sharing, as always, with us your lovely story. I just hope that they will find a glimmer of hope somewhere in the next chapter. Thank you once again for torturing yourself over and over again to torture us tonight. I appreciate it...and you always know how to deliver. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and bring us into happy thoughts. Please. Author's Response: I really don't know how you managed to do it...but seriously this review depressed me. It's like you echoed back the entire chapter to me. And I didn't like it one bit. It was hard enough as I wrote it, PK! :oP I loved this sentiment..."Or even if inact is impossible, together." I love it. I think I answered your other questioned and hope you're feeling a bit better now. Or at least not so bad that you have to crawl in a hole. :o)
Nightshade Author's Response: Thank you. I really enjoyed this chapter though it was very, very hard t write. I appreciate your enthusiasm. :o) |
