That was really lovely. I loved fics about Harry's childhood, even when it's just referenced, and this was very bittersweet and real and touching. I especially love the image of Hermione coloring with her children, because I always love coloring with my nieces and I felt the same emotion reading this fic as I did when I spend time with them, which is a very good thing. :) Thank you for the lovely read.

Okay, wow. Just wow. I love trio fics, and you did them such justice that I'm not even going to be able to leave you a proper review. So please just consider my waffling as love and adoration, alright?

I love that it was so messy and complicated, because it felt very real. I identified way too strongly with Harry at the beginning, with him feeling like a third wheel and pulling away from them, and you wrote those emotions brilliantly. I also love what you said in the epilogue about how at first he'd only taken from them without giving, but by the end they were actually together, giving and taking equally. That was really beautiful.

I loved Harry and Ron's relationship, and how their desire for one another developed. I also loved what you did with Ginny and the Weasleys. I'm not a Harry/Ginny shipper, but I love what you did with them, and I could feel Harry's pain at her loss and it felt very real. One of my favorite scenes was the one with Penelope when Harry fainted at the Burrow. I like the twins' reactions to the trio relationship, and Penelope was played so perfectly, with her bringing up Percy and comparing him to Harry. And then when Harry said that about Ginny turning into a column of light...that was just such a beautiful, painful moment there. So well done.

The last two chapters were so wonderful because I really felt the love between the three of them. I kind of started freaking out about it, actually, it was so emotional and natural and good. The stuff with Harry's scar and them walking together was such beautiful imagery and really cemented it, for me at least.

"I think... well... I think I might be ...... happy." *hugs Harry so hard he can't breathe* 

"...talked about all that they had lost, and all that they had not lost." Guh, what a lovely line. What a lovely story. I'm going to rec this like mad, you just watch. And I see you have the sequel up, thank goodness! :) I'm so very glad that I read this. Thank you for writing it.

Wow, that was really moving. I love that it was a Ron/Hermione moment from George and Ginny's perspective. I really enjoyed it, thank you.

I like this glimpse into Hermione's thoughts while Harry deals with the aftermath of Sirius's death. It really shows the burden his friends carried for him. I particularly like that in Hermione's case, she feels like it is her responsibility to find the answer, since everyone else seems to think she will be the one to do so. Great story.

The last scene was beautiful, and has me wondering what's going to happen next. Because they seem to have worked through their relationship issues, so now something's going to have to blow everything up again, and I'm worried about what that might be. :-/

The first part of the chapter was lovely, with the three of them together again, and whole. The descriptions of the sex were so tender and kind of heartbreaking, and I loved Ron's thoughts on how he dosn't feel jealous watching Harry and Hermione make love, only happiness at seeing his too favorite people happy. *sigh* This is why I love trio.

Oh, and I also love Ron pulling Harry into his lap for a kiss and the other boys giving wolf whistles. Heehee. That's why I love Harry/Ron! :p

Lovely chapter, can't wait for the next! :)

I liked this line a lot: 'Them over you, always went left unsaid.' I like that look at Lily and James's relationship, that they have established something without really having established anything. That they mean something to one another without really meaning anything, if that makes sense. I also liked that last paragraph, with James calling Lily by her first name. I enjoyed reading this fic, thank you.

Oh, I loved this. Poor Hermione, always working herself so hard. I love the boys taking care of her, even if they don't do it perfectly (somehow that makes it all the more endearing). I also loved the Harry/Ron interaction at the beginning, yum. Loved it.

<i>The last thing he needed was a knight in shining armor. He was supposed to be the knight.</i>

Oh, I loved that line. I loved ALL of the lines. There were way too many to copy/paste, but so many brilliant phrases and combinations of words. And I loved the atmosphere of the whole fic - I could really feel Ron's guilt and there was such a strong sense of loss and hopelessness throughout. Such a beautiful story.
