I don’t even know how to properly put this into words, but I had to say something after finishing your fic.
I started it at 1am and didn’t stop until 10am. I genuinely could not put it down. And when I say it broke me… I mean it actually broke something in me in a way I didn’t expect from a fanfic.
At the beginning, I was so frustrated with Elizabeth. I kept thinking, how can she not see it? But by the end, I understood her completely. She was young, she was in love, and she fell fully—completely and irrevocably—and that made everything hurt even more.
And Tom… the way you wrote him?? You don’t fully realise how deeply he loved her until those last chapters, and when it hits, it HITS. The final chapters absolutely destroyed me. Like genuinely, I was sitting there crying over fictional characters like my life depended on it.
That scene with him outside Malfoy Manor, just watching her, holding onto her photograph… I’m actually not okay. Why would you do that to me
I don’t know if it’s because I needed a good cry or because your writing is just that powerful, but this story really got to me in a way I haven’t experienced before. It felt so real, so immersive, and so painfully human.
You’re insanely talented, and this fic is something I’m not going to forget anytime soon.
