Let me see if I can't find some words.
...Yeah, no. They won't be good enough, but I'll give it a try: I love this story so so so much. It's everything that makes hurt/comfort my very favourite -- the honest acknowledgement of pain, and the fraught steps through and around (insert any number of other prepositions) it, and the healing. It also is everything that a lot of other h/c isn't -- brilliantly clever and careful and the best kind of catharsis I know.
I just -- thank you.
Author's Response: Thank YOU. This story was definitely part of a healing process for me, as a lot of my stories are in one way or another, and it's very moving when other people see something in them, love them for what they are.
Hello Arsenic, I really enjoyed reading this story.
It is an intelligent, well written and very very bittersweet piece of art.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Author's Response: Thank you for both the read and the response, I really appreciate hearing from people.
Brilliant! I love the fire art bit and the interesting and well thought out plot.
Author's Response: Thank you so much!
Wonderful, Wonderful Writing! I love this series, and continue to re-read over and over again. I read it about a year and a half ago, and then couldn't find it in my favorites until about six months ago and have read it many times since then. I love Wereworld, and especial love your other stories in this series. If you ever want to write more in this 'verse I would love to read it! Thanks for sharing your amazing writing.
Author's Response: I recently wrote an incredibly small snippet of this on my LJ for an alphabet meme I did, the letter L, so if you want to check that out, it's there. Thank you so much for this feedback, this series is very special to me and it's ALWAYS lovely to hear that someone has found it and enjoyed it.
This is one of my "comfort fics" I find myself returning to read it over and over, because it's just such a lovely story.
Author's Response: This story holds a very special place in my heart, it is ALWAYS good to hear this.
I was asked recently what got me into HP fandom years ago, and my answer was having been linked to this story. It's still lovely, years later. (I'll likely link to it from the entry where I as musing on fandoms -- somewhere on valentinite@lj, just FYI.)
Author's Response: Wow, thank you for this. There is NOTHING better than hearing that your story inspired someone to look further into a fandom. *hugs* And thanks for letting me know that you might link me out, that's great.
I can't tell you how much I adore your writing, this series in particular. Wonderful stuff. I do hope you write more on this.
Author's Response: I am probably done in this universe, probably, but it was one of my favorite of all time, and I never say never. Thank you.
This is a lot of things I don't usually like--threesome, Remus-centric, kidfic, yet I loved this story, I think because of the unique Hermione you create here that I could easily see growing out of the canon character, the great storytelling, and above all the whole fascinating "wereworld" you created.
Author's Response: Hey hon! Thanks for giving this story a shot. This is probably the story of my heart in HP fic and it still warms me when someone enjoys it. Thank you so much for letting me know.
Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I re-read this and 'Origin of Myth' last weekend on my PDA while I was visiting my parents and since it had been a while since I last read both of those stories it even was a tiny little bit like reading them for the first time again and I enjoyed it very very much.
With CoMC I'm completely in love with Zev and Wereworld and your Hermione and how she finds a way to live on happily with Remus and Severus by her side and yes, LOVE!
And with OoM I'm just completely in love with your Draco and his struggle to survive without his magic and falling for Ron and Ron just starting to spent all his time with Draco and Hermione and Severus just wanting Draco to be happy and safe and Addy and Maddy and everyone else and yes, also MUCH LOVE.
Um yes, just had to get that of my chest. *g*
Thanks for your awesome stories, sweetheart!
Author's Response: *hugs you to her chest* Have I mentioned lately how very glad I am that you found me somewheres along the way?
I really, really love these - thank you for the new story, and for keeping Severus in character all of the time.
Author's Response: Aw, I'm glad they work so well for you, thank you for letting me know!
