Well, that was simply... gorgeous. At least that was the first word that came to my mind. Tragically beautiful, especially the last few sentences. Thanks for that story and keep going, ok?

Who knew there was an interesting back story? Wow!

That was just heartbreaking.

Not my pairing but absolutely beautiful

Woah! What an unexpected idea! And you're right, I've never read anything very angsty by you before, but this was definitely worth going more into that genre!

I would have never thought of it myself, but I'm beginning to like the idea of this pairing! :)

Damn!

Not the ending I was expecting at all, but still extremely powerful all the same. I have somehow never come across your writing before, a tragedy to be sure.

I know what I'll be doing over the next few days now, lol.

Wow, that's a unexpected fandom. But nice one really!

The timing on this doesn't work very well for me - according to the Lexicon Regulus died in 79, Harry was born 7/31/1980, so he had to have been conceived near the end of 79 - unless it was a shotgun wedding 'still marrying Lily' means 'still marrying Lily sometime very soon now'. I think I'm being nitpicky because James is being so very, very bad long after we were assured that he had grown up some, and I prefer to think that maybe he had grown up some. I hate to think of a general unspoken conspiracy to NOT tell Harry that his dad was a useless kid who died age 21.

no, no *sniff*. I really like this. Angst and messed up relationships are interesting to read, but I always like a happy to semi-happy ending. This just left the dagger wedged in there.

Great! but so sad... :'( but still great job!

god that's beautiful and painful.

Love It!
It was well written and WOW the angst was perfect.
Keep up the good work.

oh god the ending was so completely unexpected. poor regulus, sometimes i wish JK explained him in better details.

Too angsty *dies inside*
so beautiful *wails*
keep it up
