Mariagoner 2008-05-19 ch 2,	abuseGods, this was a wonderful chapter. The interplay between them was... stunning, simply stunning, and full of such hidden darkness and danger. Beautiful job you did here.
Nev/Wormtail 2008-03-16 ch 7,	abuseLOL! This is my favorite chapter! I believe that I may have missed something somewhere along the line, however, I was wondering if each chapter is connected or not...
Airily 2008-01-05 ch 13,	abuseOoh, Luna is quite good at being a bird, no?
Airily 2008-01-05 ch 10,	abuseHm...as ambitious as LV is, he probably would do that. Excellent one-shots so far. :D
Airily 2008-01-05 ch 4,	abuseWonderful characters.
Airily 2008-01-05 ch 3,	abuseGreat dialogue.
Airily 2008-01-05 ch 2,	abuseTruly engaging. Their interaction is so different, yet so natural. You write characters very well.
dead2self 2007-08-14 ch 15,	abuseThe Luna/Tom interaction in these shorts are nothing short of beautiful. I've been Tom fics all day and none of them have quite captured his personality as uniquely as you have. Luna is a perfect foil and complement to Tom, and I love how realistic your portrayals are. I'll be hanging on your every update!
Majestically Mystical 2007-07-31 ch 15,	abuseLovely chapter. ;]
Bagge 2007-05-23 ch 4,	abuseApart from everything else - a wonderful perspective of Horcruxes. If Ginny's adventure was anything to go by, finding and destorying them will be far more of a problem than even Harry has antipicated. Hermione's scarred hands makes me remember Dumbledore's injury. Was that intentional? The exchange between Luna and Hermione was thick with friendship and mutual affection - but also with secrets and unspoken things. Luna felt it too. The boy in the basement, Luna's compassion, Harry's murderous intentions, the trickery with the deatheaters, Tom's using of Luna - and the wonderful fact that Luna doesn't know about Horcruxes, doesn't know about Tom Riddle and doesn't know just who - or what - she brings out from the burning house - makes the drivingforce of the story highly interesting. The last sentence is superb. And with Tom and Luna - imagination can take you a long way... Again - I'm awed with how you write the dark dynamic between this pair. Luna leaves everything behind to seak the darkness - but she brings her own light. And Tom traps a beam of moonlight - but finds that it illuminates himself in ways he had never thought of.
rory 2007-03-04 ch 13, anon.	abuseThis was realy adorable. I can't wait for you to update!
rory 2007-03-04 ch 12, anon.	abuseI really liked this. What is going to happen next?!? Will there be a next part or was this the last?
Bagge 2007-02-07 ch 9,	abuseNow - this was sweet. And purely Lunaish. Her patient and unfaced attempt to get into his cell, her unrockable faith in her lover and her curiousity to her own taste - all that is Luna.
Bagge 2007-02-07 ch 5,	abuseI really enjoyed this one. Tom is still a schoolboy, and so he and Luna are much more equal than in most of the possible settings. Also, he seems just a slight bit more human. Was it Voldemort he saw? The self that wasn't quite as human anymore? Luna got an equally potent sign, when she heard her mother's song. Our happy two on a quest together through time, and mysteries that grow more boding for each step. I loved how you wrote their strange and confusing journy. Also their relationship was nice the read - A bit trust, a bit companionship, a huge bit interest, a bit attraction and actually just a tiny bit sweet, which isn't usual when Tom is involved. The kiss was... nice - in the way Luna used the world at the time. "“If there are two of you in the same time, that’s the problem. Maybe that’s why time got stuck,” she offered. “So I have to get rid of it,” he answered, his eyes darkening." Ha! That is our Tom in a nutshell. There is a problem. What to do? KILL IT! The end musing about hope was on the spot. For some reason, what I really will take with me from this story, is the words in Luna's hair. What a beautiful - and suggestive - image.
Bagge 2007-02-06 ch 3,	abuseWhat a delightful story. Full of summer and sunshine and friendship. The quest for the Other, the freeing of the goblin, the mystery of the windmill (but why did the wings spin? Was it the goblin's slave labour? Was that what Luna's mother meant?) and the finding of a friend was delightful. Young Luna - childlish and cute and sparkling with imagination - is wonderful. Ginny's and Luna's growing relationship was just adorable. Their initial exchange was so very typical for children - how they accepted the other's statements without much fuss: Adults do keep secrets sometimes - so therefor what Luna says must be right. And Luna felt that the warning about the mad ax man was fully warranted. Luna, of course, still has that faith and acceptance. How Ginny bought herself a place in the adventure with biscuits was also right on the spot for young people playing. "We can tell them we are heroines!” "The both of us?” she chirped, sitting up. “Yeah! Two for one and one for all.”" - And that's were when their friendship was forged. Both are heroines - no need to fight about the title. And of course - their discussion about villians wasn't just taken from thin air... "tall, dark, and handsome. And most of the time, really, really smart too" "Every good sidekick is a good bard." - as a Xena-fan, I totally agree on that! ;-) The fact that there really WAS an Other, and that their game turned out to be a real adventure and that they - I'm sure - actually DID make a difference - was just the touch that made this story into something more than just an adorable childhood anecdote. Really nice touch. And I liked that goblin. Even if you didn't write a single word of description - except for his eyes - I got a quite good image of him. I love Luna's blue ribbons - blue for wind. And lastely - Luna's mother. The very essence of her is a bell -so true. You only describe her with a few sentences, but that is enough for the reader to see her inteligence, her charm and her love. Her and Luna's exchange about "here", and how she sat up her daughter on a little summer adventure - romaing free, but with the safety net that charm bracelet provided - was just on the spot. Really - this is the single best portrait of Luna's mother I have ever read. It's easy to see how her daugther became the wonderful girl she is. I really hope you will write more of her, one of these days. Well done!
