It's just dust... alright?! just, dust.

Probably one of the best one-shots if not Fanfictions as a whole. Unbelievable.

Well, you honestly made me log in to write you a review. I am honestly amazed, considering how I can, all in all, count my reviews on one hand and have quite a few fingers left over. That is not to say I did enjoy this piece more than any other, but it did succeed in startling and surprising me quite a bit. It was an enjoyable read, but if I left a review on every "enjoyable" piece of fanfiction, I would have to leave so many reviews that writing them would cut severely into my reading time. But aside from being free or mostly free of any grammar or spelling mistakes, being well written, structured and altogether thought out, something about it struck me by surprise.
This is hardly the only fanfiction featuring a guerilla resistance under oppression, one part of a pair/two parts of a trio being missing by being dead or mostly dead and them appearing to the remaining part. This is the only one of its kind, however, that distributed not only sensible clues, but also gave me a palpable sense of unease about the entire situation. I have to apologize to you - I thought your "pairing fanfic" was a lucky shot and this was a flat protagonist with a paper thin secondary character.
Until the fence, that is. At that point, it began to feel recognizable, due to experience with this very grim setting. "Is it a ghost or has he simply lost grasp on reality" was what ran through my head, with priority on the second option. I know how that feels. You might too, this hit close to home.
Honestly, the flashbacks fell flat to me, even taking his emotional state into consideration. The "conversation" about their friends and Hogwarts honestly was of the same dimension, but there, it added to that unease - Daphne no longer existed, after all. It never was meant to be more than one half, and in total, this was what it added up to. Trauma is not an excuse for flat writing - nothing really is, make me feel that flatness by tangling it into him. These scenes felt, for lack of a better word, inserted.
Yet, seeing as this is my only real grievance with what I have to, otherwise, consider quite the well polished masterpiece in terms of fanfiction and also in this specific "genre" of writing, it should not color my opinion too much.
Upon reaching them reaching the fence, I read back up, right from the beginning, to figure out whether my trust as a reader was misplaced. My trust in myself as well as you, of course. I found that same nagging awareness with its accompaniment of unease. From that moment on I read it through, already knowing I would review - and apologize.
Your work of romance with an "enlightened" Harry Potter in the center was received as "quite nice, but not all that deep" by myself. It had its moments, but no more. Hardly worthy of a review, and something to be forgotten in time except for the few gripping moments. The christmas story was even more shallow, though probably intended as well as succeeding in being light fluff.
Still, your Harry/Daphne Romance made me hit up your author's page and therefore made me hit this little gem. I will probably remember this as the quintessential "Loss without recovery" story that was written in this "not all there"-way. "The Remains of the Day", a grand piece of original literature, also covers this writing style, if in a very different way and without the near palpable unease you like to utilize in not only this fanfiction. Fanfiction does not belong next to original literature, but well-executed writing just so might. I applaud you and stand back from this.

i knew it
Deidara chapter 1 . 9/27/2019
Amazing! And the clues... Now that I think of it, the man served them only one meal with one spoon. Wow. I didn't think much of it back then. Though I did start to suspect when she would never get battered by the travel nor get scratched when running.
NakedGrizz chapter 1 . 7/11/2019
Incredible story. Makes me feel feelings every time I come back to it.
Handers chapter 1 . 6/18/2019
Nice twist!
Guest chapter 1 . 4/22/2019
Powerful story.
Anabellagirl chapter 1 . 3/10/2019
Hello. I liked your story a little but please update with Harry making new life for himself in France and maybe learn to love again after grieving properly. I think there are many good girls he could learn to share love with after this ordeal but he must be given time. First write chapters were he goes through treatment and then make him fall in love again and write how he overcomes grief maybe with Tracey or other refugee. Thanks.
Umbrakinetic chapter 1 . 3/1/2019
Just wow, this was amazing. The first time I was slightly confused at the twist but after rereading it, I feel ashamed I didn't predict this.

The first hint is when he says he'll go crazy without her and she says she knows. At first it seemed somewhat lighthearted and not at all out of place but knowing the end it's very literal.

The second hint and one of the most obvious hints is when she looks at him with pity for saying he should be grateful he didn't lose her.

Her exuberant enthusiasm should have been another obvious giveaway no sane human being can be so happy and carefree in such a dangerous time.

Daphne still looking impeccable after days living in the wild and Harry's scruffy look in another sign on the obvious hallucination.

Richard gives off probably the most clues of anyone as he looks at the treeline and squints when he says we as well as cuts him off when he tries to introduce Daphne. Then there's obviously the one spoon thing. When the deatheaters come he also refers to Harry as a singular.

During the Deatheater scene it was made painfully obvious yet again that she wasn't real as she came out unharmed and they never even tried to fire at her.

This was incredibly well written and thought out, Kudos to you.
