You were nervous about writing Ted? That's rather odd, considering how well you wrote him.

I liked how it showed Ted's concern for Andy, as well as his willingness to stand by her despite the issue at hand. Also, his witty comments rocked. This was a nice piece.

I think this was a great oneshot. Interesting idea, and I think you portrayed Ted very well.

so i realize you wrote this a long time ago, and have written other things from teds pov, so you probably are much more confident in it now, but i still thought id review to let you know that you did a good job with ted in this story. i think the black sisters are really interesting, the way all three turned out so different. but you captured andromedas loyalty very well. i completely agree with you: blood is one of the thickest bonds out there, and regardless of events, youll always be there for your family. and the little banter at the end was a nice touch, really captured the love between the couple. so basically a lot of words to say good job, on a story written over a year and a half ago lol i hope you still read these reviews!

I don't know what you're worrying about; fantastic as usual. That line, “Well, I only married you for the money, you know,", well I didn't realise that he was joking at first and I was like, My God! I mean, I can understand where you're coming from, but you're not mean to TELL her that you stupid idiot. As for it being Ted's POV, who knows how men think? Who knows how males in general think? ^_^

that was a good male point of view
i enjoyed the one shot

Great. I don't know much about how men think either, but as far as i can tell you've got his character fine. The relationship between them is so sweet. Before I read it I was thinking of asking you to read my Black sisters story, but after reading all yours i'm kinda embarressed about it.

Also I like the way you've shown Andromeda as being sort of tied to her family. She's the 'odd Black out' really, although I suppose similar to Regulus in that she takes the path of least resistance until it really matters then rebells. Unlike Sirius and bella, who seem to rebel just for the hell of it.

I think you did a great job getting into Ted's POV. I like your description of loyalty being a Black family trait; we seen plenty of it in Sirius and Tonks, so it does make sense. I also like you've conveyed that Voldemort created what is basically a civil war, so there would plenty of torn families and loyalties.

I like it. I like it alot. I'm never any good with constructive critism. In my eyes, it is very, very rare when I review that I am able to write something that could even pass for constructive critism. Like something in my genetic make-up declares that I will never have the ability to write constructive critism. So all I can really say about this one shot is what I said at first. I like it alot.

Hm, I like it. Not as good as your others, but great nonetheless.

lovely as usual.

You should def. write a story where they all meet again.

I like this a lot. Interesting glimpse at Andromeda and Ted's relationship (which is perfect, by the way) and also at the way she can't escape her family. The Blacks are so complicated and horrible and devilishly wonderful...and this was really interesting. Nice piece.

Hey, this is very good. I did read your other reviews, and most of them seem pretty accurate.

I do agree with one of them, though, about how you seem to write the Black sisters better. This is excellent- don't get me wrong- but the others just seem to be... well, I don't even know the word.

Anyway, it was good to see you write from a different perspective. I liked it, a lot. Good job, hope that your boss stays away! :D

Great story again - I hope that you are frequently unsupervised at work as it seems to mean that you write more! This one was different to your previous one-shots, maybe just because it's from a different point of view - I could be wrong but I get the impression you prefer writing Bella?!

My favourite bit that really made me laugh was:
“Well, I only married you for the money, you know.”

“Bit of a nasty surprise for you when I was disowned then?”

“Quite. Only by then I was rather used to you.”

Please keep writing!

You know, I've really come to love your writing. A lot. But this piece didn't come off as strong as the others for some reason. It's sweet, and I really wish I could point out what I didn't like about it.

I think it's just that nothing I've ever read has told the Black point of view so well, and then reading your take on them and seeing your style kind of...joining how others have painted the family? I wish I could explain better.

But. It's wonderful to see that you've been unsupervised at work again. Hope it happens often, cause the results are awesome. :)

good story i'm not quite sure how to give you constructive critism on a guys point of view cause i'm not a guy but i'm sure it's very realistic
