This chapter was so hot!! I wish you would write the full version of their first time because it sounds sweet. The ending was mean, Risie!! I can't believe she did. That's so wrong!! But it makes a good story. :)
Author's Response: Hannah, you make me laugh! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and thought it was hot! Someday I may have to do it as an outtake... I know the end was mean, but that was where the whole story came from! :o) Thanks, my dear, for the cute review! *coconut gelato for you*
I'm going through and reviewing all of the chapters. I've already read it and love it, but I never commented before. I want new chaptres! The first chapter was great and I was already upset for Ron!
The whole chapter is amazing and it kills me that you left off where you did!! The introspection was great and I thought it worked really well for how Ron would be mentally preparing himself for the day. Wonderful Weasley moments again. Where are you as far as getting another chapter out? I'm dying to know what happens and if you can somehow unravel this huge web you've made. Will they ever be happy again? Can it all be some kind of mistake? I don't know, but I hope you're able to make it work somehow. Until then, I may have to read it again............
Author's Response: Thank you so much for your continuing lovely comments, Hannah! It's such a joy to know how much you've enjoyed and connected to the fic and to the way I've written the Weasleys. I do so love them. At least some of your questions will be answers in the next chapter- which is about 8,000 or so words written. I've got a bit more before I think it's ready... but, it's getting closer. Thank you again! *rocky road ice cream for you*
The beginning? *grin* Naughty Risie!! I liked it. Ahem. What a moment!! The question game was cute but it gave me more questions about the time while Ron was gone and how this all happened. Poor Ginny. I'm sure she's in for a world of hurt. *hugs her* Great chapter!!
Author's Response: Hi Hannah! That little moment at the beginning was written for my friend Dan... I had no idea that you'd enjoy it, too. *ponders this information* I'm glad you've got questions- at this point, I want you to be questioning some of the assumptions you may have previously held. *oatmeal raisin cookies for you*
The repetition!! I can't say enough about the repetition! It was the best way for me to feel like I was inside his head and a part of his pain and condusion. Every thing with Ginny was fantastic and I wanted to hug them both and promise that everything will be okay but I don't know that it will be and that kills me!! The shower was very steamy and yet another thing I wuoldn't mind reading as an outtake. The last line = guh.
Author's Response: Yay, I'm so glad you like the repetition as much I did when I wrote it! I'm also thrilled that you enjoyed the parts with Ginny. I know a lot of people don't really like her character, but I do and think she can be treated unfairly... I'll keep that shower scene in mind, if I do a series of flashbacks for this fic. Thank you for the great review! *rootbeer float for you*
The repetition at the beginning was beautiful!! I felt so bad for Ron and how it must have been for him to hear all of that. And when she said she still loved him!! This is such a puzzle and so messed up. I love it!!
Author's Response: Thank you so much, my dear! The repetitions that happen throughout the story are some of my favourite parts... it feels like getting stuck inside Ron's head a bit, doesn't it? I'm glad you've connected with him. *cherry pie for you*
That dream was mean, Risie! I hope you include the rest of Harry and Hermione's argument when you do the companion story. I want to know what they were saying and if it has any clues!!
Author's Response: I know it was mean! But, I had to show how much Ron wanted it... I definitely plan to do the complete argument- whenever I manage to get back to the companion piece! Thanks, hon! *banana bread for you*
The beginning was torture because we could see how happy they had been together at one point. It was beaufitul!! They were both so mature and composed during the conversation. I bet they won't stay that way. And yay for Molly showing up!!
Author's Response: Thanks for another lovely review! You're right- I don't think they can stay that composed for long! I'm glad you enjoyed the Molly bit. :o) *creme brule for you*
Them running around was hysterical, but before they left the bedroom was very sobering. I loved the looks between Harry, Hermione and Ron before Molly whisked him away. The reunion with all of the Weasleys was fantastic, especially the part with Ginny. The ending just about killed me but it was perfect.
Author's Response: Hannah, thanks so much for continuing to read and review! I'm glad you enjoyed that tiny bit of levity before the deep emotion of Ron's departure and then him being reunited with his family. I'm thrilled you like it as much as you do! *chocolate frog for you*
Now that I've reviewed this one, I've finally finished reading and commenting on all of your single chapter fics! I feel so accomplished! ;) This is one of the hottest smutty stories I've read on here. It's sweet and thoughtful and very like Ron and Hermione and I loved it. I wouldn't mind a sequel of this one! Now, I'm on to all of your multiple chapter fics... wish me luck! I have days and days of reading to keep me occupied. Thank you for that!!
Author's Response: Hi Hannah Banana! ;o) Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, my dear! I'm so glad you enjoyed this and found it hot! I may get around to a sequel sooner or later, if my allergies keep acting up... LOL. Thanks again! *sugar cookies for you*
Adorable! I was in hysterics while I read it. You are quite good with insinuation and keeping the reader guessing for a long time. I'm so happy it turned out to be what it was. That made it all the more cute! Thanks for cheering my day!
Author's Response: Hannah, thanks so much for reading and reviewing! I'm very happy that you enjoyed the outcome and that you were guessing for most of the fic- I wanted it to be a surprise. :o) Hope you're doing okay... *strawberry torte for you*
“Please,” he says huskily, “I want you so bad,” and he kisses her again. A sob catches in my throat as the angry tears begin their rise again. He’s never said those words to me and I can’t help but feel she has stolen words she has no right to. All of your single chapter fics are amazing Risie! Every single one of them is different and intriguing and interesting. You've managed to fool me with who is speaking, what is happening, what is reality vs. fantasy, etc. It's raelly awesome! This is probably my second fav. after None for Me. I love how this one made me stop and think about the implications and the way I think about these characters. It was beyond clever. Thank you so much for broadening my understanding of this situation!
Author's Response: Hannah, thanks so much for reading and reviewing! Your words are so sweet and I'm thrilled that you connected with the fic and enjoyed the various implications of how we perceive the situation. I think there's a lot of grey area in that entire plotline and I'm glad you could see it, too. *chocolate chip ice cream for you*
I’ve looked for pink lines, double blue lines, and blue crosses. Sometimes life doesn't happen as planned and hidden grief surfaces at the worst possible time. Risie, my husband Jeremy pointed me toward this fic a couple months ago when you published it. He read it to me and I cried when he did. I've read it several times since and it has touched me so deeply. I actually made this account just so I could come and leave you this comment in my name. Reading this piece was like having you come into my soul and feel everything with me before you put your pen to paper. It is a pain like no other and I know I'm not alone, but I so acutely felt not alone when Jeremy read this to me, because your words made me feel understood.
Thank you for writing this for your friend and for publishing it. I wish her luck in her quest like mine. This writing deserves that award and I was pleased to hear you got it when Jeremy mentioned it. I wish I could say more, but the best I can say is thanks. Really, thank you.
Hi Hannah! I knew Jeremy had read it to you, he told me in an email, and that it had touched you. I am so thrilled and genuinely pleased to hear that you connected with the fic, despite the sad topic. It's a subject that's near and dear to my heart and I feel so deeply for all of the couples who have been in this situation. I'm very happy to hear that reading the fic made you feel somehow less alone. Your review completely made my day! ::hugs::
Thank you for sharing your story with me and I wish you and Jeremy all of the luck in waiting for your miracle. Please take care of yourself! *mint chocolate chip ice cream for you*
This one made me cry!!! I was all ready for a nice fluffy and hot fic (and I guess I got that) when you went in for the kill. I was caught so off guard and I had no idea what was going on when you snapped us back. Beautifully written!
Author's Response: Oh, Hannah!!! *hugs you* Thanks so much for reading and reviewing- I'm sorry I made you cry. I hope the smut made up for some of the angst... *cupcake for you*
Watching Ron eat is an indecent act. Little does he know, he has an audience. Written for TQP's Gluttony Challenge for June 2008.
Another where you fool us Risie! I love how you kept us in suspense until the very last line, just like your Stronger Than Me. This was fantastic and absolutely not what I expected. Because of your usual pairings it didn't occur to me that it could be different. I love how you keep me on my toes!
Author's Response: Hi Hannah! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! I'm excited that it kept you on your toes until the switcheroo at the end. Sooner or later, I won't be able to fool any of you... :o) *lemon chiffon pie for you*
