Omgosh I've been on a james/lily fanfic marathon and stumbled upon your fic and I love everything about it! I love the buildup and I hope youll be able to update soon! I hope lily sees past everything and stay for James or at least try long distance. She deserves to be happy. Same with James.

So so so into this story. I cannot stop rereading! Your characterizations of James and Lily are so unique and so sweet. I am constantly impressed by how well you write, and how many layers of depth you imbue into your characters. Thank you so much for this fic, and I cannot wait for the next updates.

This is an amazing story. Looking forward to the next update.

I haven't checked my updates in a while and just read this - what a delight to have been able to come across this chapter. I LIVE for this story, and although the wait between chapters feel all but too long, it's better knowing there's more left than knowing that the story is forever over. So... thank you

You write amazing james and lily fanfics.. absolutely wonderful.. please update soon..

I’m in LOVE with this story. Really wish you could continue to write it.

I really loved this fic!

I can't believe this story was being published for almost 10 years and I'm only discovering it now! It's one of the best Jily fanfics I EVER read! It has everything I love and is excellently written to boot!

James and Lily's relationship and dynamic is amazing, their chemistry is sizzling and tension palpable. You can feel the pull they have on each other and how Lily's attraction grows. The banter and dialogue is super fun and the flirting is downright delicious! The development is perfectly executed - not too fast (despite short number of in-story days) and not too dragged, just the right speed and with the right story beats. Characters are in character, believable and likable and if they make a mistake they admit it and own up to it.
Mature scenes are tastefully done and very hot! And very VERY welcome! I'm also a complete and total sucker for the "Jily didn't get together at Hogwarts and reunite after several years as adults" trope, it's absolute best and you took the best part of it and utilized it perfectly! (now I can only hope that this means certain, ahem, other aspect of canon could get positively affected as well, since we're diverging form canon and all that / fingers crossed/)

The final scene and plot twist almost gave me a heart attack haha! I was heartbroken together with James and then almost cried with him once Lily showed herself! I'll admit I really did get teary eyed ;_; I'm so happy I found this fic on this chapter cause I can't imagine waiting years for this to finally happen, I wouldn't handle it T.T

Secondary characters are fun too and get you attached to them. It was interesting to see Marlene in such role lol since she's usually given the bff part. But Alice handled that part exceptionally well.

I took a look at updates and omg it seems like you post a chapter a year and I'm about to die aakfkjal! Is there anything I can do to convince you to not wait another year for the next chapter? Please? I'd give anything ;A;

Love this story! So very sweet

So so enjoyed rereading this story to remind me of all that had happened. Keep up the great work! And I look forward to the next update!

Omg this is such a sweet fic33
Cant wait for the updates!

Ahhhhh this fanfic gives me all the feels 3

Yes! It's like you read my mind. I was so sad the other week thinking you had abandoned your stories. Then when I saw an email update for this story I was SO excited! I waited until I was able to re-read it again from the beginning but oh my gosh! This story just keeps getting better with time. I hope you update this and Petal in the Rain again soon! Happy holidays and take care!

Ahhhhhh you're back! And just in time for the holidays! Everything about this had me melting and I'm obsessed as always with your writing. Can't wait for the next update :)

AWW thank you for starting the holiday season right!
