This is the end of the story! I'm impressed! Are you still going to write more fanfics about HP? I'd love to read more of your works :-)

I'm more than simply greatful for your work, and this story is no exception in this point. I agree with you on the downside of posting in the work story of this calibre, that's what I like about Forums like TFF or DLP (OK tha last one maybe not the most appropriate in this case). There an author can develop his work to full maturity and post it afterwards on 'his' site without missing the feedback. But that's my take on that problem, each on his own taste.
From the depth of my heart: Thanks for the story.

I really have enjoyed this story. I love the concept of Godrick Gryffindor coming to meet Harry. This was very well done. I understand that posting as you go has its draw backs but you did very well with it. I look forward to what you choose to write next time. pms

This is very good. Very well set up but who found Harry unconscious? I guess we will find out. Thanks for writing. pms

I loved it!!! One of the best Harry/Tonks fics I have read.
Thank you very much!

Very nice. I particularly liked your take on the obligatory Snape-Harry duel.
I was surprised you had Nim and Harry fly to the U.S rather then Cypress or Monoco (which are considerably closer) or given how traditional the Wizarding world seems apparated to Gretna Green
The Unicorn
Crys replied:
Do Cypress and Monoco allow "marriage on demand" like Vegas?
And never heard of Gretna Green, I'm afraid.

Hey, you beat the DH deadline!! Good show. I read this conclusion the night before diving into DH.
I see you delighted in avoiding the cliches in this ultimate chapter. Neville winning the final bout in the first spell exchange. Snape never getting to duel Harry. Harry not wanting to be headmaster (good excuse!). The reason for no new dark lords being the improved magical government and policies, not Harry. Heh.
Two years on this story?! Wow. It was a good fun read, thank you!

I've been reading this story for more than two years?!?!?! Where did the time go? Despite the things that you would change if you'd written the whole thing before posting, AND despite the fact that my hubby won't read a story until it's been completed, I found it worthwhile waiting for each chapter and going along for the ride.

Damn, sad to see it done Crys, but you gave this story a ton of heart, it's my fav h-t for sure. Excellent job on the final battle and then the wrap up was excellentespecially the tournament andthe final insult to snape. Great job! Cheers!!!!! Anything in the works?
Crys replied:
Nothing's in the pipe. I've been clearing decks for DH, knowing that the bunnies I have will be put on hold for a fair time while that gets digested.
I'm not giving up writing. Just taking a short vacation, so to speak.
Glad you enjoyed the story.

I'm sad to see this done with. Good work and there is always the later rewrite and polish when you cant write anything else.

Well, here we are.
Not having reviewed, I feel like a bad boy for not reviewed here.
This story had so many levels, I'll address the two I think had the best features.
First, and I've said this to you personally, I felt Harry grew up and matured in this fic more than any of your others. Refusing to duel Snape, controlling his anger, his relationship with Nim (more than just a physical one) and the reconciliation he attempted with his friends were all indications of his leaving a teenager persona behind and moving on. That and when Harry had to kill - he didn't moon and bawl over it endlessly, like some fics I could mention.
Second, I thought that the tactics and strategy he learned finally made his rash impetuous nature take a back seat to his brains for a change. Hermione might have been right - Harry does have a "saving people thing" but here we've seen that in a more thoughtful and smart thought process, instead of just running into danger, wand blazing.
Good show across the board. I, like yourself, found that the post-as-you-go method is harder and not as satisfying. I hope to see your work springboard from this level even higher. Kudos and all.
Crys replied:
But you did review. Just because it was before anyone else read it and as part of the beta process . . .

Well, I never thought that I would like a Harry/Tonks story. For a lot of reasons, the pairing is not usually handled well (Tonks especially being portrayed completely OOC). However, this was something different.
I have stuck with this story from the outset. It has had its slow patches and there have been some clichés. However, everything was handled well. I liked the characterisations and found the plot engaging.
At first, I felt your handling of Ron, Hermione and Snape was a negative aspect of this story. However, in retrospect, I have to approve of your decision to follow your own path and focus on different characters. I particularly think that denying Snape what he would regard as martyrdom is, in many ways, the worst punishment that he could suffer.
For now, you may rest, but I expect to see more from you in the future. Perhaps a sequel to "The Morning After"? ;-)
