Dear mystery author, thank you! This was an amazing story. I enjoyed it all the way.

It's just everything about it! I'm so excited I almost don't know what to say. I loved it. That first scene with the three boxes and how perfectly you said it, how small and innocuous they were about everything they represented, the resentment Harry felt towards them, and then going back through their story, through their marriage in this way, seeing those early fights, from the moment the bond happened, the plate (oh my god, the plate!) and the coffee, and then how their friends started to perceive something was different with them, how they had something good, something that worked, those small gesture that told so much, that spoke of love, showing how deeply they cared for each other to this, this insane difficulty to actually talk.

They were touching and funny, which was amazing. I admit at parts I might have a tear down my face because you touched me, truly. And then when he finally saw, Harry, and how everybody left everything and came to help. And Bill! Oh, Bill, he was fantastic. I have the hugest crush on your Bill, brilliant!Bill! <3 But so was Ron and Pansy and all of them to be honest. I loved them all.

Instant favourite, you wrote a beautiful love story, with the right touch of pining and funny moments, perfectly balanced and I loved it. Thank you for this.

First, the comment. You have just encapsulated everything I tried to convey in this behemoth of a fic and you did it so beautifully! And I LOVE you for loving Bill. I confess I enjoyed writing him in this role, it was challenging and new and I am so thankful that it worked for you!

And your rec and the love that followed! You are just so perfect!

Thank you so much for making my day (over and over again). You're the best, darling *hugs*
