I didn't use any of the words you gave me, but they did set me off on the medical thing, on account of "epidemic" and "donate."

[marinarusalka.livejournal.com]

Oh, that is so sweet. I just want to take this story and cuddle it. Love-love-love the descriptions of all the different ways everyone does their four and a half minutes. Such perfect little character snapshots.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Aww. Thanks!

[kudra2324.livejournal.com]

this is so sweet and lovely. it made me do one of those lopsided half grins :).

p.s. um, you wouldn't think of writing the "bit longer" part, would you? :).

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you liked it! I kind of doubt the next part is going to come to me, but you never know ...

[reginagiraffe]

They're 17 year old boys. I'd say 4 1/2 minutes is about right. *g*

This is adorable.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Hee! Might actually be a little on the optimistic side.

[wildmachinery.livejournal.com]

Oh, I so needed that. *g* That was almost unbearably lovely and adorable, and I absolutely adore the bit about Seamus and Dean's neck rubs. Thanks for writing this.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I think we all needed a hug and a kiss.

[kassrachel.livejournal.com]

Oh. Oh, yeah.

I love this.

The voices are spot-on. Honest -- this is Rowling, only better.

:-)

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Wow. Well, I'm glad you liked it!

[jood.livejournal.com]

Oh my GOD so yummy. OH oh oh oh, Harry and Ron. So lovely and sweet.








P.S. My birthday is July 6th. I'm just sayin'.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

As long as it shows up in the portal, (http://www.livejournal.com/portal/) I should remember. I'm trying to do better about people's birthdays.

You have no interests in your info, though. So. What are you interested in? (Fox has no useful interests, either, and I made her give me a list of words, which I then ignored, so you see how this stuff works.)

[ellen-fremedon.livejournal.com]

Wow.

I'm dead from the sweetness. The perfectly-characterized sweetness (Lupin! and the Slytherins! and everyone! So perfect!)

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Hee! Glad you enjoyed it!

[giglet.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

[imkalena.livejournal.com]

AW!

Seamus and Dean gave amazing neck rubs. The funniest thing was that they both did it exactly the same way, which meant that either they'd learned it from each other, or Ginny had taught them both.

Harry's not stupid, is he?*g*

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Heh. I may have given him a little more credit for observation than I should have!

[sanj.livejournal.com]

Oh, *yay*. With hugging! And holding!

Harry needed this. Dude, *I* needed this. Thank you!!

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Sometimes don't you just get the urge to manipulate reality so as to give Harry a hug?

[celandineb.livejournal.com]

*dies*

That is beautiful, simply beautiful. Each characterization so brief and yet so telling.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Aww. I'm so glad you liked it!

[millefiori.livejournal.com]

Delightful!! I loved the bit about Ginny, Dean and Seamus; and the Slytherins; and sweet, funky Luna; and Neville--such a darling!--touching Harry's foot while he ate. But of course the end was the best, and I was waiting for it just like Harry was. He does sorely miss Ron when Ron's not around, doesn't he? Lucky Darthfox!

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Glad you liked them all!

[daemonluna.livejournal.com]

That was fantastically charming! Loved the image of the Slytherins all solmenly lining up to shake his hand, and Hermione's arm casually slung around his neck, and Snape with a vicar's handshake, and of course, the incredible sweetness of Harry and Ron.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Aww. Thanks!

[xayide2.livejournal.com]

I've been waiting for you to write another HP story, they're just so good. I still love Transfigurations and I saved a pic that Theban Band did for you.....the greenhouse...*grins*

Thanks for the extra HP boost. :D

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I love the greenhouse art. And glad you liked it!

[nattish.livejournal.com]

Ooh, you squeeze my heart with every story I read! How do you do it? Oooh!

Seriously, every word of your fics seem significant. They're not drawn out or too short; they're just right.

In this one, the descriptions of how different everyone was when it came to something as simple as touching Harry was so interesting. I especially enjoyed Snape's and Ginny's. And of course the romance was sweet and simple, just like those boys. :D Very nice work.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Wow. Thanks! I'm so glad you liked it.

[glitterdemon.livejournal.com]

wonderfully charming; the descriptions of how everyone chose to touch him was brilliant and touching. i only wish it were longer. ;)

[glitterdemon.livejournal.com]

i just realised that there's a pun in there. i didn't mean for there to be a pun in there. :\

so sweet

[quatre_k.livejournal.com]

That was sweet I loved it.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[raucousraven.livejournal.com]

gzh!

[trans. incoherent noise indicating extreme delight]

That was so sweet and comforting and Harryesque. I especially like the Slytherins here, although Neville with his hand on Harry's foot runs a close second.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Glad you liked it.

[shocolate.livejournal.com]

That was utterly lovely.

Ron is such a Gryffindor.

And Harry sitting there waiting for him was so cute.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

He is, isn't he?

Fantastic icon!

[skuf.livejournal.com]

Loved Luna and Dean/Seamus[/Ginny] and Lupin! Platonic Remus/Harry, *squee*!! And a smidgen of platonic Harry/Snape, ahhhhhhh :o)

And you write the best kisses.



Plz write more fic - I get fevers and chills if I go more than twenty days without some of your writing.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Hee! Well, I guess I'll have to help you out, won't I?

[karajanks.livejournal.com]

It's 6am, raining, and so cold here, and I settled down on the couch with a hot pot of tea, thick socks, a heavy quilt, and this... this story is so cozy it couldn't have fit more perfectly with my morning. Thank you!

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Wow -- that sounds nice. Glad to be part of it.

[moireach.livejournal.com]

Oh man, that's just terrific! I adore the list of who touched him how. It's like clichefic that's actually good -- which I mean purely as a compliment.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Hee! I've always wanted to write a must-touch story, though I admit I anticipated it being sexier than this.

[schuyler.livejournal.com]

That was just lovely. But then, I'm a sucker for Harry and Ron kissing.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Me too!

brava!

[snpdiva.livejournal.com]

I love your stories. Ever since I added you to my friend's list I've been waiting for a new one. Nice work!

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Aww. Well, this wasn't much of one, but I'm glad you enjoyed it!
