I know you no longer write for this story but I'm reading it now and had to make an account so I can review it. First off you're an absolutely amazing writer, I've read say my name and started unstoppable. I've currently just finished chapter 14 of ASE and I literally CRIED through the entire chapter. I genuinely cannot handle this angst and I'm so sad. Anyway I'm sure you will not see this as you do not write for this any more, but thank you for keeping me entertained, but not for making me cry :*( xoxo

Hi I just reviewed and I know you will never see this but I've never sobbed so hard. I was crying so much that they brok up that I wasn't even able to read the chapters that they weren't together and I quite literally feel heartbroken 😭 I needed to review again to distract myself bc I don't think I'll be able to sleep but I'm skipping around and I'm sorry about that because you're an amazing writer but I truly cannot bear the heartbreak I'm actually crying so hard trying to read through 15-19 so I basically skimmed and skipped. I want to apologize for that, you really are an emotional writer because I feel like Harry right now 😭😂 HEARTBROKEN. Anyway thank you for being so talented, although I wish you were not as I am literally bawling my eyes out. - A dedicated, now thoroughly heartbroken, reader

Thunderbird, you are in a category alone. No one matches your unique style of writing. This story is, without a doubt, the best work of fan fiction I have ever read. You are a truly gifted and talented writer. I've never been so utterly riveted at every turn. I just cannot stop reading and rereading this story, as no other compares.  My favorite part is when Draco wakes up after the house party, terrified. You do such a beautiful job with that. I felt I was there with him feeling everything he was feeling, suffering as he was suffering. 

It seems almost cruel that you've only published four stories. You stated you're an author. Is there anything else you've written that's published? I'd be happy to purchase it. In the meantime, write, write, WRITE.

Love this story

I know this fic has been complete for a while, and I never left a review when it was still going, but I wish to correct that now.  It's hard to convey in words how much this story has affected me, and how much it means to me.  The only word I can think that does justice, is life-changing.  I started reading reading this fic anonymously shortly after you started it, and followed along every step of the way.  In a sense I was in Dracos position, but without a partner.  Emotionally however, I was with him every step of the journey.  Right along side the story I was going through highs and lows trying to figure out who I truly was.  Truly this story helped me figure things out in a way where I am no longer conflicted, but happy with who I am.  I am so attached to this story even after it's ending that it remains, and probably will remain for a long time, the best story I have ever read.  I even think that when I do finally find that special someone, I will have them read this story so they can understand me even more.  Thank you so so much for this beautiful experience, and although you may not reply to this, sincerely with all my freed heart, thank you. Best regards, Gingerguy.

Absolutely loved this story! I can’t wait to see more of your work. 😁

I feel like I keep saying the same things over and over again, but you keep amazing me with your thoughtfulness and creativity. I love that we get to know so much about what happens in five years in what would be the span of about an hour of Draco's life. I truly adored this chapter so much, and while I would love to know what Raisie chooses in the end, I know what I hope she does and that's good enough for me for now. :) If you do add more to this story in the future, you'll have a delighted fan.

I have been re-reading a lot as I've been waiting for your final chapters here - I re-read SMN and Unstoppable, and actually all of the HP books again as well. It was easy for me to forget how big of a bastard Draco was in canon, but I think that's maybe why I like this pairing so much more for it - this story in particular. There is definitely a personal connection between me and him regarding feelings of worthiness and shame in the aftermath of infidelity and divorce. It's funny because I didn't even pinpoint the parallel until later in this story because I told myself I was so grateful for the end of my marriage that I never considered my feelings about further relationships and what I thought I deserved. Anyway, without oversharing too much more, I am just grateful for the personal aspects of your stories, and that they're more than just sex (but damn that's been good, too), considering the platform you're posting to. You've said it before - the details make the story and it's so true. I loved this version of our boys. 

That being said, I would really like to keep following your writing - be it Drarry or otherwise because I love your voice as a writer. I will keep my eyes on this website for sure, but if you post elsewhere that isn't HP fan fiction, I want to read it. And if there's any way I can get email alerts when you post new chapters, I'd be such a happy camper because then I won't feel like an obsessive super-fan who checks the same website day after day waiting for updates (because I do that with these stories, for real). If you have something like that, I'll keep looking for updates to Unstoppable and hope you'll respond there. I hesitate to just dump my email address in a comment section...

As always, THANK YOU. Truly and sincerely.

I want to thank you so much for writing this story. I looked forward to every new chapter and I loved the ending. I would love to read anything else you happen to write. Thanks.

I loved it! So full of love! And you didnt leave Raisie out! I love your version of Scorpios too. So cute and cuddly. My daughter is two and a half and was just like Scorp (still is) when it comes to dirt and water and rocks. I really like how you had the wedding at Hogwarts by the lake. The movies made the lake look so pretty. Its sad to see this story come to a close but im excited to see what else you have up your sleeve :)

I absolutely love the Ron in this story, very mature and open minded. It was a very pleasant surprise how both Hermione and Ron we’re accepting of Draco despite their past. Now hopefully Lucius will try to be a bit more accepting of his sons choices too...... though not very likely. Please update chapter 21 soon.
