Love love love this story! Great job! Iread it thorugh. Can't wait for an update!

*sigh* It's really sad, but I think I will have to stop reading this fic! It's just too angsty for me. Something mildly happy happens, and then *BAM* a bunch of really terrible things happen. I know your warning said 'angst' but this seems to even have more extra, extra angst than most other 'angst' authors I've read (XD)

That said: I love this story in all other ways. I love the length of your chapters and that you update pretty often considering you give me a huge chunk of reading material every time you update (It's awesome!). I love your characterization, and I love that you managed to have a female OC family member that IS NOT a Mary Sue, despite being very powerful (I find you incredibly talented for managing that). I liked the basic premise of the story, I just didn't like all the angst XD;. I've now read your (only) non-angst story, and will definitely keep an eye out for anything else you write that doesn't have the warning 'angst'. Although, if one of your other stories (which has a warning angst) is not as angsty as this one, I'd be willing to give it a try... I'm just kind of afraid to right now lol.

Thank you for the lovely read these past few weeks =).

loved the new chapter...it was great and it is nice that Sam found his mate...
However, I am assuming that the sweetness of this chapter (barring Harry's episodes and Solarin's supposed inability to get pregnant and Remus' miscarriage) will end and Lucius will be back on the scene.

I cannot wait for the next chapter!!!!!

Ch. 5 Like Harry, this chapter yaws all over the emotional map. That

Ch. 4 This description of lovemaking after so long without was so welcome and the detail was intoxicating. I would have re-read it at once but as usual your chapter was so lengthy I decided to keep reading so as to maintain a steady impression of it.

The shock of the manacles in the midst of all that joy was souring. But your writing of Harry

Ch. 4 Remus is pregnant, isn't he? He's got all the symptoms. However, I don't want him to be. We've already got multiple births and transformations in this story. Too many is really placing too much of a good thing into the central plot.

Ch. 3 I actually figured that Draco was a girl quite a ways back. The fact that s/he never got an erection, felt desire or could stand Pansy Parkinson were all big tip-offs. (Then again, who could stand Pansy Parkinson? Slytherin cow.) The ending was a shock, however. In the excitement of Draco's transformation I'd almost forgotten about Hermione's grief. Let's hope her baby isn't damaged.

Ch. 2 Phew! Gah, that was awful! Okay, the baby girl was very sweet but the prelude was just chilling to read.

I wonder if Lucius will still want the baby when he hears it

I'm not very good at reviews, but I wanted to tell you how good I think this is. I love the way you take the basics of werewolves introduced by the books and flesh it out without contradicting anything we already know. I think the whole Draco/Phoenix thing was really cool. I can't believe it took them that long to figure out though, but then again readers have a broader perspective than characters. I like the way that everyone is pretty much in character, or at least believable in the change of character. I love Sol. She's so awesome. Your writing is well done, and flows nicely. I only have one thing negative, and that is I think you went a little too far into detail on Harry's rape. The story is not offensive, and I don't think that you were overly-insensitive or anything, but it made me uncomfortable, and it might turn away some readers who would otherwise love the story. Altogether, it is wonderful, and I can't wait for more.

I've been thoroughly enjoying this story. You've done a nice job of mixing the tension of Harry's trauma and its lasting effects, and the warmth of the loving family surrounding him. I love Remus and Sirius, so it's nice to see them both alive again here. Miri is adorable, Solarin is a nicely drawn OC, and Sam is shaping up to be as well. I'm not sure why you switched Bill and Charlie's birth order, but that's a really minor point. I'm wondering if you have the story plotted/outlined for yourself, with a definite end point in mind? I've gotten attached to stories in the past, and been disappointed when they've been abandoned, and I hate to say it, but your story has some of the warning signs: the length so far, the growing cast of characters, and the additions of sub-plots to the original story arc all point to a story that can get so big the author doesn't know how to pull it all back together to an ultimate conclusion, and instead eventually just stops writing. If you've got all the subplots organized, with a plan of how to pull them together and wrap them up, then I'll be so thrilled to see how that all happens, as I really enjoy your writing style.
