I love all the star metaphors - it's just really pretty, the first line, especially, is just beautiful. Your characterization of Lucy is really interesting, too - I know we've talked about how you see Lucy as screwed-up, and I think you showed some of that here. It's really different than how I see her, but I like it just the same because it's really cool to see different people's perceptions of the next-gen. I like the mention of Draco being better friends than lovers with Astoria, because I definitely think they'd have a good relationship even if they weren't still together romantically. This was beautifully angsty, too - you write fabulous angst as well as fluff, mew, and this was just such a perfect combination of romance and angst and I think I ship these two a little now. I really enjoyed this, I think it's wonderful!

Oh wow. That's slightly depressing. D: Poor Draco! I do like how there isn't a happy ending, though. I feel like it would've been really out of place. So yeah, really liking the ending.

The ongoing star metaphor was really beautiful too. I really loved how Lucy turned it around on him and the idea of "scorching" was so fitting with the rest of the fic, my goodness.

One of the interesting things, for me, was how Lucy eventually decides to try please her family (or was she just lying...eh?) and how Draco always meant less to her than she did to him. It's kinda sad, really.

(Actually, when she broke up with I was totally reminded of the latest 'Bones' ep, hehe).

Anyway, overall, a really sad piece, omg. :C Sad feelings all 'round. Wonderful, though. Just sad.
