You had a really good idea for this story! Keep it coming, I wanna find out what happens next :)
Wine, Roses, and Blood by Facelessgirl
Rated: •Summary: It wasn't supposed to happen like this. She was supposed to stay safe, so that they might both live when it was all over. However, it all comes together in this one moment, a moment that means the difference between life and death, love and despair. One shot.
Date: 10/07/05 Title: Chapter 1: one shot
Wow...that was amazing! Sometimes you have to kill the one you love to save them, and you showed that beautifully. The only confusing part was the flashback stuff since there were no lines or anything. Other than that, absolutely brilliant!

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: Lying in the shadows of Harry’s and Ginny’s love for one another, Luna has no option but to respect it, despite her feelings for Harry. Confusing times lures Luna to the woods where she finds the peace and quiet of her mind. After an innocent morning in the forest and fields, she emerges with a twist forming in her love life.

Great story! The imagery was wonderful. I'm glad to be the first to review! Good job!! ^_^
The Prongs Complex by Cherry and Phoenix Feather
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: James finally asks Lily out. The problem is, he chose a roundabout way of getting to her. Plus, he stands a high risk of breaking his neck in the process. Told from Remus Lupin's POV. Rated 3rd-5th years for slight language and mild innuendo on James's part. One-shot.
A/N: Quick note to all: I am sorry, but there are no plans for a sequel for PC. I hate to disappoint you all, but I feel that the story is better standing alone, leaving the rest to your imaginations.

OH, I loved it!!! It was sooo cute! I really liked the dialouge between Sirius and Lupin, very very very well done!
As the Wall Crumbles by Aequitas
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: She laughs and turns, eyes set on the door on the other side of the kitchen. Her hand touches the doorknob, cold but inviting. Light envelops her as she steps out into her imagination. Open the door, child, her grandmother once said to her. Your imagination is waiting. On a beautiful summer afternoon, a child learns of her two worlds--reality and imagination--and what she must do only six years later in order to keep both in existence.
Date: 03/19/06 Title: Chapter 1: As the Wall Crumbles
This is an amazing piece of work. It is absolutely beautifully written. Everything is one big metaphor, which is interesting - the reader is left to imagine things themselves. Also, this may be slightly odd, but Mrs. Granger's first name, Amelia, just works in this. Oftentimes her name seems really forced and is awkward.
There is only one weak trait I see in this fic. The lack of quotation marks confused me, and several times I had to step back and reread a paragraph a second time so that it would make sense. However, the lack of quotation marks also makes this story unique.
I don't think that my review will compare much to the others, but they pretty much covered anything. This is a phenonmenal fic. Great job =)
Author's Response: Why, thank you for the review! They really do make an author's day. I love metaphors and I like how I left imagination up to the reader, kind of like Hermione. And yes, I've gotten comments on the quotation marks, but you're right, I do like my story a bit unique. :) I hope that the other reviews didn't scare you too much! I appreciate your review as much I do them.
A Light In the Darkness by VictoriaWeasley
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: When all hope seems lost, there is always a light in the darkness. A hope that can change fate and overcome that darkness is a rare one, and can only be achieved when there is love behind that hope. The Final War has ended, and Ron has already lost his best friend. When he finds Hermione lying on her deathbed, will his love spark a hope that will overcome the darkness, and change fate? Post-HBP, Ron and Hermione's POV. Fluffy R/Hr shippy-ness.
Date: 11/15/05 Title: Chapter 1: Hope
Very good! I really liked it. It was a great one-shot, and it ended so suddenly, but in a good way! Keep up the good work with any else that you write! Also, I had found a typo (I think) when I was reading but my computer broke down and now that I'm back I can't find it. I'm sorry! And when Ron says 'I've lost Harry already...please, don't let me lose you, too.' am I right in assuming that Harry defeated Voldemort but died in the process? Earlier it was stated that Harry defeated Voldemort. Anyway - great job! I'm looking forward to more from you!
Author's Response: Thank you for the great review! I'm sure there are spelling mistakes in their, as long with many, many other mistakes as well - I honestly never looked over it before submitted it, I'm lucky it was accepted. When the weekend comes, I'll go back and look over some things (as I don't want to bother my beta with something other than the other fanfic she agreed to beta) and fix it up this weekend. I've another story up, only one chapter so far, if you can check it out.

Overall, you have a great beginning! I'm really interested to see where your story goes. It is deliciously AU (I love AU stories, especially Romances. I'm a D/Hr shipper). However, I do have a few comments to make. In this sentence - With that, Harry embraced her in a tight bear hug, followed by a long, passionate kiss. - I think it is kind of strange that he gives her a bear hug and then a passionate kiss. The term "bear hug" is something that I associate with friends, not boyfriend/girlfriend. Also, - Harry gazed into her beautiful face—those clear blue eyes, ... - Ginny has brown eyes :-). In one paragraph, you say - ‘What’s with this Hermione liking me stuff?’ Harry had wondered to himself. - and then a few sentences later you say, - ‘Is this a new thing or did she always do that before?’ he wondered to himself. - which is nearly the exact same ending. It's a little repetitive. Also, Ron and Harry call each other 'mate' a few times too often. Other than that, I really like where this story is going. You have a great idea, and the summary is very intriguing. Your grammar and spelling is also very, very good. I'm interested in your next chapter! Great work! And remember, these were just the humble opinions of a fellow author :-) 8/10
Black Rose by Black Pearl
Rated: Professors •Summary: He saw her letters and became jealous. Passion turned to obsession, then he did something horrible to her. But if she was his, would she stay for sunrise to pass over her face, just so he'd know it wasn't a dream? Rated 'R'.
The sequel, Black Rose: The Lost Chapters, is now up!
Date: 12/07/05 Title: Chapter 2: Forget to Remember
I like the idea you have with your story, but it seems to be going a bit too fast. Do you have a bigger plot that is coming soon?
Author's Response: I thought about how the story was going too fast, and realized I should slow down. And yes, there is a plot coming up, but I'm still trying ideas. Thx for your review!
Clair De Lune by Astrid Skywalker
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary:
It was full moon when the Dark Lord sealed a part of his soul within a magical amulet, and then broke it in half. One half was left to the faithful werewolves to guard. The other half was tossed into the impenetrable depths of time where no one but him could get it. When the first half has been found, the Order of the Phoenix selects Hermione Granger to go back into the past to search for the missing piece. What is waiting for her is a brutal task that will test her beyond her limits, and an undying love that extends beyond the boundaries of time.
RL/HG, Post-HBP
No werewolves were harmed in the making of this story.

Update (9 May): Chapter 17, Burning, is up! Enjoy!
Date: 09/27/06 Title: Chapter 12: Unbreakable
LEI! I LOVE YOU! This is just, just....amazing. Utterly amazing. They finally kissed, but Ron...I'm so happy and anxious for the next part at the same time that I can't even string a coherent sentance together!
Only one critique, and it's not really much of a critique at all...For what felt like the nth time, Hermione peered down at the ancient document. I'm sure you can spot it =)
Anyway, yes, absolutely-positively-crazy brilliant. Gah, I love you. *huggles* =D
Date: 08/01/06 Title: Chapter 10: Surrender
LEILEI! My gosh! This is SOOO amazing! The characterization is spot on with both of the characters, Hermione's reaction to Remus saying "I love you" is perfect, and wow this is just SO GOOD!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I was anxious about people\'s reactions towards that particular scene, but I\'m really glad you liked it. : )
Date: 09/17/06 Title: Chapter 11: Stuck
Lei. Lei Lei Lei Lei Lei. That was brilliant! It made me so incredibly angry at Hermione, but I still have to think about how she is from the fututre and so she thinks she is doing the right thing. Sirius was spot on here -- his anger is perfectly portrayed. Remus....awwww....I feel SO bad for him! I can't wait for the next chapter, lovey! A shop-stopper, eh? *awaits anxiously*
Date: 12/09/05 Title: None
This looks *very* interested. It's original, comical, and not to mention your grammar and spelling are very good also. One thing to watch out for - you put them in a Heads dormitory. Just make sure that doesn't get really cliched! I really loved the line "That's MISS Mudblood to you, Malfoy!" Really cute. I can't wait to see more from you!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the tip! And thank you for reviewing. I'm working on the second chapter now!
Who Has to Know? by annie
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Draco has a secret, one that he would never admit to anyone...including himself. One-shot songfic to "Dirty Little Secret" by All-American Rejects.
Date: 12/11/05 Title: Chapter 1: Who Has to Know?
Wow, that was brilliant! I was so sad to see The Sweetest Sin end, and it was nice to see another Hr/D fic of yours up so soon! (You are my favorite writer of this ship after all!) I don't really know what else to say....It was just perfect, and I loved the end. The two short sentences - 'It was love.' and 'I am.' - were so...I can't even think of a word. They worked really well. Hopefully we'll see some more Hr/D from you soon!
Oread, Walking by Seren
Rated: • Summary: Cedric was just as odd as Hermione, because he liked to walk. Cedric/Hermione
Date: 03/19/06 Title: Chapter 1: Oread, Walking
As a devoted fan of both Hermione and Cedric, I adore this fic. This type of storytelling is fresh and new to me, and while the bolding and italicizing was confusing at first, I finally read it out loud and it all made sense. I had never though of Hermione/Cedric as a pairing, and the way you wrote them together seemed so natural and in-character (for as much as we know about Cedric). A fic like this - written with such straight-forward clarity while maintaining intruige - is a rare find. Thank you for giving me a new favorite, as well as a new pairing to love!
Date: 03/19/06 Title: None
Oh my God, Elysa...this is freaking brilliant! I stumbled upon this in my boredom, and was laughing out loud the whole time - probably gave my parents a scare - but I just could not contain myself when Lei whipped out the lightsaber.
Bloody FANTASTIC this was. But I suppose you'd have to be in Hufflepuff and actually know you two to understand this. lol
