*Glares at you* That was evil. In a way, though, I think it was fitting but I would have loved if it didn't end this way. Ron would make a brilliant vampire with his paler skin, his striking red hair and bright blue eyes. *sighs* Now I have to try hard not to be sad.

It's been a long time since a story has held my interest the way this one has. Ron'a character is not usually one I find worth the effort as even Rowling has depicted him in a somewhat shallow, undeveloped manner. However, I was completely absorbed with all characters in your little drama. Unlike my experience with most fan fictions, I had no problem reconciling Rowling's original characterizations with your alternative development. The tone of your writing is poignant. I have seldom been moved to tears by any story. I both thank and curse you.

this story was so sweet and sad you should definitely write even though it made me cry this is now my number favorite fanfic and i.ve read alot of them and this one touches me the most

Oh, that just hurt!!! Superbly written, but painful. You made me cry too. :-)

Gasp!! OMG!! You've really got me crying here and while I'm sure in a bit, once I've run out of tissue and my eyes are dry, I will begin to appreciate how this ending works with the story. But for now, WHAAAAA! Of course it didn't help that a somewhat bittersweet saddish song started playing just as I was reaching the end. (Connie Dover's I am going to the West, it always leaves me a little teary)

i can't believe you ended it like that. that was too sad.
i didn't think everything would work out perfectly but i didn't think you'd kill him ;_;
OMG!!!

i still loved it, but now you have to write a new snape/ron fic, one with a happy ending!!! just to make up for how angsty and sad this one was!!

Well, I'm disappointed by the ending. Otherwise, this has been a great story. I'm going to see what else you've written.

I wish I could say I hate you, because I am crying, and my chest hurts - that ache that feels as if something inside were burning to ashes, a sharp spike of pain, you know what I am referring to? It always happens to me when an emotion is strong enough.

The end was beautifully written, because you feel the despair with them - ever since the magical card made his appearance, that something in me went "that is *not* a good sign". They were happy - happy and carefree and enjoying life, and the relaxed and blissful atmosphere at the beginning of the chapter gave you a feeling of lightheartedness, and then it all goes to hell, in a few, short hours. And you know, the more that you read, that all your fears *will* happen... And then they do.

And, despite the fact that you are mentally preparing for it, it still hits you so unbelievably hard.

The night before would have been perfect, Severus finally showing just how much he loved and trusted Ron, to give himself in a way he wouldn't even consider with anyone else. Tender and beautiful, and they were so in tune with each other, giving testimony of how much they have grown together in those four months in Paris.

And I understand about what you meant about possibly disapointing. But remember: you are the author. And the end? Suited the fic. It was all there. Now, or fifteen years from now, there would be more trouble to face, and Bridgette said it before: there is no way it will work.

Now, that I am a bit more calmed down, I can tell you that the fic was great. You already know that I love your writing style, your characterizations, and the pace with which you develop the plot. And, despite my preference for happy endings (yes, total sap here), I absolutely do not regret reading this one, as it was a most excellent story.

Now, if you excuse me, I'm going to go drown my sorrows with horchata and chocolate. And re-read the end again.

The ending was Horrible and Gut Wrenching - and I mean that in the best way.

My emotions soared from one end of the gamut to the other in these final chapters - the sign was a good story and writer. I knew almost from the beginning that it wasn't going to be pretty, but it was climatic and fulfilling to read.

It started with such happiness that they thought they had perfection (almost) only to find it in a dank cell, alone together at the end.

The ending showed just how far we will go sometimes for love.

I'll be honest. You warned. You made it clear. I saw it coming. But I still hoped. I'll admit I have not and at least I will not for awhile read the last chapter in it's entirety. I refuse. I'm a blubbering idiot just glancing. My stomach hurts from the ache of what they will lose. Very well written overall and very a powerful story too. I just can't finish it. I like angst but this is about as heartbreaking as I was after Brokeback Mountain ended. Devastated.
