All these years later and this story remains one of the best pieces of HP fanfiction in existence. Ch24-26 make me tear up and the romance just feels so real. In real life, it's never perfect or smooth sailing and the way you covered years in the last three chapters after leisurely getting through three months of the summer was exquisite. I hope you return to writing Gabrielle in the future cause no writer does it better and it's arguably the most underrated pairing in HP fandom

thank for this wonderful written Story, I liked it very much

You're one of the finest Gabrielle and Daphne writers I've come across. It's impressive how most of your stories convey bittersweet conclusions, despite the happy endings they always bring out a twinge of sadness. Great work, as always and looking forward to seeing more from you in the future!

Really weird story, too much Quidditch.

Harry hardly seems affected by the loss of his best friends and others and just lets Fay bully Gabrielle while ignoring the strange options

Okay, last two chapters - all the sweetness that wasn't there in the rest of it. But, it wasn't like it was -missing-, it really just.. was just right how it was. How weird.

This... was the most gentle "romance" I have ever read. It doesn't feel like a romance, it really is so much more just... recovery. This is a perfect comfort story, with no angst and hurt, and yet no sugary sweetness either. The climax wasn't even, it wasn't.. it's hard to find words for this. Her food thing, it was resolved with barely any acknowledgement except for minor notes such as her eating a cookie in two bites. All the things I thought were building up into so much more were, just, so easily resolved. Fay wasn't evil, she ate more, Mathieu becomes disenfranchised in the most realistic way possible over time, the papers really did just forget about Gabriel in a week.
It feels like the lightest touch. Just a hair off "leave it alone and it'll turn right on its own."
I get where previous reviewers have been disappointed there was no romance between them till the last chapter, but it doesn't even feel like romance. It just.. is, and it's nice. This was nice. This was purely nice. I've never read another story like it. What on Earth.
I get what Harry meant by 'feeling hollow.' Like, this is a satisfactory ending yet all the same... what

The lost port key folks should have been recovered after Gabrielle and Harry got together. It made the premise of the story too dark.

I usually don’t read post hogwarts stories but this has turned into one of my favorite stories of all time

Extremely well written, excellent characters and OC, the dialogs were also great.
The only negative point was the decision to just develop the romance in the last chapter, 95 percent of the story was build up, it made your story anticlimactic at the end.

Thank you for the fanfic and I will keep following your work.

This story is freaking awesome. I love it. The bonus chapter is lovely. I have searched many times for Harry/Gabrielle stories but could never find a good one. I don't know how I missed this master piece.

There are a few things I may not like in the middle of story but the author made up for them quite well. A must read fic.

A fantastic chapter.

Lovely chapter. Harry and Gabrielle's interaction is beautifully written.

so this story has a lot of OC's. like A LOT. but they are written very, very well! i couldn't do that myself, so hats off to you! really enjoyable read, really liked the developing relationship and Gabrielle slowly coming out of her shell etc.

Why is this such a beautiful story? The ending has got me once again.

Can't believe you made me google a MLP reference. Awfully rude. Good story though.
