This brought me to tears! Such a sweet moment of closure after reading Finding Himself.

Lovely happy ending and cure for Cedric. Gwynn Diggory is fascinating and deserves his own book series.

I just read all of your CD/HH but this little slice of life years down the road was beautiful. I love that they survived and we’re avle to really live. Well done all the way around.

Such a sweet, sweet story in the Finding Himself universe.

Aww

Perfect. Dancing with your wife, dipping her low and laughing together... I had a sappy smile on my face. It's the perfect moment. Especially after not being able to dance with her for so long. Thanks for writing this.

Aw! Nice one, Gywnn! Now the only thing left is to ease the restrictions on Amortentia for healers and apothecaries.

Lovely dear
do continue
to write..
bye sumi

You make me believe!

That was incredible. Unquestionably stupendous.

The best line in the whole story - the one that caused me to cry - was, "you already thanked me. You raised me." Beautiful :)

Thank you for this one-shot. I've read Finding Himself and the sequel so this one-shot was like a gift to me...and I've read it on Christmas Day :D Thank you again! :)

One reason I have always loved your stories is because of how much of human emotion you infuse into them. You break my heart sometimes. But your stories always seem to have a healing touch of their own, which makes it all so very worthwhile.

I also love how much you understand what it means to live with pain, sickness and infirmity. A lifetime with even one of those three wretched demons is very difficult. But I think that, in many ways, a lifetime of loving someone who suffers from pain, sickness and/or infirmity is just as difficult, if not far more torturous. You captured so much of that here in Gwynn's perspective.

One thing I particularly liked was the disparity between what Cedric sees as pragmatism (he doesn't expect any cure to work; he doesn't think on it any more than he has to; he just gets on with his life) and what Gwynn sees as resignation ("Really, there's acceptance and then there's passivity."). WOW is that ever spot on in describing a key element in the relationship between the patient and their loved ones.

I know you wrote this years ago, but please accept my belated kudos, Min, for this lovely story. Thank you!

loved it

Beautiful.

This was beautiful and sweet, and I loved it. Thank you.
