You have an incredibly haunting way with words that fits too well with the tragedy of the marauders and I'm in love. Thank you for sharing!

I love this one! Great portrayal of Dorcas; she feels real with her thoughts. All the characters feel fleshed out. It captures the levity of youth and gravity of war.

I've reread this oneshot countless times. It remains my favorite oneshot on this site. Your writing style is beautiful and literally brought tears to my eyes when I finished this story.

this is my favorite kind of story—poignant in a hollow kind of way. lovely

This is my favorite rendering of the original Order! It captures so much personality and I love the contrast of youthful energy and experienced wear and tear. Love it!

Very evocative, lovely read.

It was beautiful.

Interesting perspective and tone. I enjoyed it!

This was stunningly gorgeous, especially the last paragraph and line. Well done.

This is probably the first fic I've ever read that's about the first Order of the Phoenix and something other than the Marauders school years or the relationship of Lily and James. Very well done, it was sweet, funny, tragic and foreboding all at once!

I love this. I don't know if you still check reviews but I wanted to let you know that this is beautiful, and raw, and something rare. You're a beautiful, vivid writer.

Wow, this is really great. I love your style of writing-it's so fluid and vivid and simply beautiful. :) I think one of my fav lines in this was "...a world...where luck and fear and passion could all be bottled, and sometimes mixed and swallowed by the shot."
I also love the angsty edge to this fanfic and the subtle hints that the fun doesn't last and there's dark times up ahead.
Great job! Keep writing!

I like the idea of Dorcas being older – it’s probably more truthful too that the Order had a range of ages. Mostly I love how poignant this is – I’ve come directly from reading Fools and not regretting it. Her age and jadedness gives a clever perspective on the youth and inexperience of a large number of Order members & nicely juxtaposes with the evil they’re fighting and their inevitable fates.

You deskribe the teenagers so happy and brave, in one way they still think it is a game. But if you look into the future you will see that they all will be killd.

You also use really beautyful language. An amazing story!

The last line ended everything perfectly!

This was absolutely amazing. It makes sense that a bunch of brave teenagers would be happy, not scared, to fight in the order. I think you caught their carefree attitudes perfectly, especially contrasted to what they were actually doing. And I love that it's told from Dorcas' pov.

Ahh, but it's so sad, isn't it? Most of these characters are going to meet their ends in just a few years. You acknowledged that fact beautifully in the last few lines.

This whole story was beautiful, I'm really glad I read it :)
