Wah, cannot access the account! I've only read the first part of this (RL is driving me crazy!), and...woe.

This review is a little late, because I decided that I had to go back and re-read ATBT in order to properly enjoy DSoT! And I'm glad I did - I wanted to remember all the little details and characterizations and motivations. The continuity was seamless and logical, and let me say that I *really* enjoyed the new story. So many questions were answered - about Draco's DE days, the final battle, etc - and it made Draco and Harry's interpersonal issues take on additional layers of meaning.

Your OC Daniel was very well done as well. It is obvious in canon that certain muggles do know about the wizarding world, but fanfic rarely addresses that issue. Halfbloods must have a muggle parent, but JKR has never provided any info about how the secret is kept. I liked your solution - even if Daniel will want magicked hair from now on :D

Also, I am in love with your Dean!!

Cheers to you for such a fabulous story!!

I've just finished the sequel and I must say, it was beautiful. Very exciting and angst filled...you had me on a tightrope there for a while when the boys were not talking to one another. Even with the support of their closest friends, they had seemingly insurmountable opposition from every corner.
Pressure!
I was truly worried. But what I must thank you for most of all is the happy ending. It was wonderful, and we just don't get enough of those nowadays.
I really appreciate that you posted this in one fell swoop also, I actually did not realize it had been finished already. I must have missed your lovely notice here. Luckily I subscribe to several lists, and I couldn't believe it when I saw that it was completed because you had only just posted the 5 part prologue. So thank you for that.
One more thing; I am a HUGE Pink Floyd Fan. And you've made my day!
Fantastic work, as always, and thank you.
Cheers!

started and finished in less than a day. I was meant to be working but I just couldn't stop reading DSoT. to start with something completely useless but totally heartfelt: it was GREAT. love the twist plotty-ness, the tight story arc, the most excellent conversations that your characters have. for me, you capture perfectly harry and draco's respective (matching) sets of emotional baggage. the ways you write the nuances of their relationship are like crack. just can't get enough of it.

my all-time favourite scene is the aftermath at Draco's flat, where Daniel gets to know about the spies. ;) that was brilliant. had tears in my eyes from laughing.

all I feel like doing is stringing superlatives together, so I'll spare you. suffice to say: thank you for the fic. I loved it. it's a gorgeously appropriate companion to ATBT.

It's the middle of the night and I've just finished Delicate Sound of Thunder. My intention was just to read a chapter or two, but you hooked me, completely, despite the fact that I can barely keep my eyes open.

I'm far too close to sleep to even attempt feedback, so for now I'll just say wonderful, and you can take any of the thesaurus alternatives to wonderful as a given.

Better late than not at all, I say!

Hello :) I'm sorry I'm so late with my feedback! (

I'm a fan of A Thousand Beautiful Things, and I was thrilled to discover you've written a sequel. It did not disappoint. I'm sure I'll be reiterating a lot of what others have said, but let me go on anyway ♥

The original character of Daniel was funny. By giving us his insights and details over a his bad break-up you provided the readers with an interesting, fleshed-out person. In fact, my favorite lines in the whole fic were his thoughts: He'd have to try out the new epithet on Jeremy. That dognapping, greedy, cheap, heartless, mudblood prick. It's hard for me to explain WHY that was so effective. It was shocking in a delightful kind of way, you know what I mean? Because we know what mudblood means, and then to see someone try it on for size who doesn't know was just a great use of canon jargon. I hope something close to sense came across there!

Draco here, as Draco in ATBT was just heartbreaking. He's SO insecure, and so lonely, and just so . . . oh I want to give him a hug and tell him everything is going to be fine. His scenes with Harry at the beginning with both of them completely misunderstanding the other was brilliantly done. It was so full of tension and sadness and mistaken assumptions.

I know it sounds awful but I loved the device of using Draco as a whore for for the side of Light. I can almost imagine Moody coming up with the idea, but I'd like to think that Dumbledore had misgivings.

Your pscyho auror was, well, a psycho. He made me want to punch him, which is only a sign of great writing :) The interrogation scene was effective and scary. I loved it!

I also enjoyed the Snape and Hermione interaction. Getting two smart people together is always a joy! The scene in the restaurant where Snape gets the sister of the auror to confess was a fast-paced enjoyable read.

I appreciate a well thought-out plot, fleshed out characters, and good writing. You obviously put a lot of time and effort into this, and I'm grateful you write fanfic for HP :) I look forward to more of your work. AND btw, I don't think I left a review, SHAME ON ME, but 'At the Round Earth's Imagined Corners' is my favorite piece.
