OMFG, Emily! This is BEAUTIFUL. And what a pleasant surprise. I LOVE the ending. I knew you were going to take them somewhere special, but the eternal campsite, and being able to see all of their loved ones, and being able to be TOGETHER was just wow....and I'm VERY surprised you redeemed Draco. I didn't see that coming at all. Makes total sense. I was LOL@ He's a little insane, after being trapped with the Death Eaters for two years, but the newspapers say it's nothing that fame, wealth, and plenty of adoring women won't fix. He got the Order of Merlin, First Class. Who would have thought that after what they endured?
The image of Draco killing Voldemort and masterminding all of this is just shocking and yet plausible considering how much he hates that freak. lol. I love how Harry is so non-chalant about the choice he made. He's just content to be with his friends, his lovers. Its all so satisfying. And I loved the humor they maintain throughout this fic, up until the very end. lol@Harry's crack that it will take eternity to teach Ron to learn to carry a tune.
As usual, your plot and the twists are just BRILLIANT. You continue to amaze me. This is like hands down the best Trio fic I've ever read and I really don't know what else to say about it. I adore it to pieces.
Thank you for the happy ending, and for this very special bedtime story.
(((Major hugs and kisses))))

Ha, my anti-spam word is 'campfire'.
Well, I don't quite know how I feel about the resolution. Shagging in the afterlife...hmmm...metaphor, or no, they're still dead. But it was a story well told. Why do people always insist that Draco is going to man up and save the war? Bah, he's a nasty little shit.
The torture scenes were hard to read. I really felt Harry's anguish when he was trying to make his lovers go. So sad.
But at least they're still together. Nice job.

I've been thinking about this all day...waiting. I knew it was coming....visually, it wasn't quite as horrific as I imagined, yet somehow, in many ways it was. I think because of the way you wrote the anguish of them hearing each other tortured that it really ripped through me emotionally. I'm kinda speechless. You did a wonderful and horrific job of depicting the torture they were subjected to without being crude and tasteless. Its all a bit too real, you know? I loved that you played up both Draco's despicable and humane traits in this fic. He's an asshole but he's not a cold blooded murderer. It makes me wonder how Snape really died, probably not the way Draco said he did. I loved Hermione and Ron sticking by Harry despite having the opportunity to escape. What I really loved is you pointing out how throughout this fic, each of them was facing direct peril but the other two stood by their side faithfully. I LOVE Ron spitting in Pettigrew's face....I can't believe what that rat did to his hand. The ending bit with Draco explaining what really went down was satisfying, I'm glad he at least gave them that, even though, in this fic, that hardly redeems him. The last few lines were really powerful and I loved how you closed this chapter.....I'm sad, and near tears but for some reason, I'm at peace because they finally are out of pain and danger, and knowing you, I think they're headed for somewhere much better.
This is so poignant and beautiful, Emily. Some of your best writing. I'm really grateful and proud to have my name on it. Thank you, once again. I can't wait to see what conclusion you bring them to tomorrow. ((((hugs)))

However this ends, I don't even care anymore. You've shown how special and strong true friendship and love is, even in the face of torture, cruelty, and death. This is really beautiful Emily. I love how Ron called Draco on the madness of his actions. So ironic to have a member of the Trio speak up for Snape by pointing out how he was unfair on Draco's behalf. Draco sounds like he's truly lost it, but that's what real war does to people, and it doesn't help that his father is there encouraging it all. I'm glad that they don't blame Hermione for the fires, they're right, the blame is with the one hunting them. So shocking how Tonks died. That was cruel. I can only imagine what they will endure...I love Hermione teaching Ron to sing despite him not being able to carry a tune, and STILL Harry uses humor...they all do. It's inspirational in a way. I love the song, and the meaning, how fitting.
OK, so I think I see where this is going, bring it on....this is wonderfully heavy dark!fic. I really love it.

Okay, can I just say that before Hermione started singing I KNEW it was going to be Blackbird, absolutely. One of my favorite Beatles songs, btw.
The angst in this fic is tearing me up, really. I feel so upset at the way they accept their fate so easily. They'll keep fighting but they see the writing on the wall and it is just crushing. I'm loving your work here, but it's a tough read. Don't make me cry too hard at the end, please.
Ah, I hate Draco. What a punk. His character is dead on here.

OH NO!!!!!!! They were so close... so fucking close!
My heart is hurting, you know this stuff really affects me Em. And I see the warnings on this fic. You promised it would be a happy ending...you promised!
Outside of that, I loved how they all told each other I love you. That was a nice moment. I love Hermione going a little nutty there in the beginning and her thoughts about coming back for Remus and Tonks. I hope she can, but it's not looking good, is it?
But you promised, Em...
Seriously, I'm still loving it, loving the glimpses into their quiet moments, their struggle to stay human and appreciate the small moments they share amidst all of the death and destruction, but it's killing me where this is going...I need to know, like now, I'm on edge! Thanks for that : ) But really, Em...Please update ASAP!
