This is so brilliant.

The progression and the flirtation- it was perfect!

Trying out this review method, so my points might be skewed and out of order :)

Overall, this was a really cute piece, and I loved the way that the letters progressed as it went along.

SPaG :

None noticed to report!

Flow:

The gradual flow of Ted’s flirting with her was humorous and really well written. I particularly enjoyed [Miss Black, soon to be Tonks]. That was a personal highlight!

It’s also really entertaining how the letters have gone from being about potions, to almost virtually having nothing to do with potions at all. It’s cute, and realistic for teenagers.

I also took note that Andromeda went from calling Ted ‘Edward’ to ‘Ted’. I don’t know if that’s intentional, but I think it shows that she’s starting to graduate into a slow sense of comfort with him ;)

I thought it was a little bit sudden that Andromeda went from being quite cold and contemptuous to suddenly exposing herself and her problems to Ted. Though, I think I’m getting a sense that she’s still reserving a little though, and the fact that she’s reduced her introductions and farewells to just “Ted” and “Andromeda” shows that she’s definitely getting closer to him.

Everything after the first half where they were just flirting between each other seemed a little bit rushed, but it did work. I do also love that Andromeda took Regulus with her!

Characterisation:

Right off the bat, I LOVE the way that you have charactarised Andromeda from the start! She’s so uppity and Pureblood-esque, which of course, is what she is! I think many people forget that she was actually raised by Pureblood supremacists like the Blacks, and probably had those kind of views ingrained in her from an early age. It was really refreshing to see her like this. Great job!

She’s such a sass queen when bringing up the Quidditch match. SHE IS GREAT.

And TED OMG TED. As he’s a difficult character interpret from the novels, his character is usually skewed, but what you’ve done with him fits PERFECTLY. He’s such a teaser, and it’s great. I love how he’s just like, straight out with it, not even slowly getting into casually flirting with her.

I also love that Ted still kept some of his humour and casual flirting with Andromeda even while Andromeda’s clearly having a crisis! He’s adorable.

Super cute. I love the detail of how they address each other and how it becomes less formal.

I've always had great respect for authors who can develop their stories through correspondence between their characters rather than by straight up narrative. It's certainly not as simple as you made it look. I love the way their relationship progresses in the story but what I love most of all is that it ends with their friendship rather than romance. Fantastically written.

Ooooh I haven't read I fic in this kind of...structure! It made it more interesting to read and obviously easier. I liked how they just dropped the topic about the potion and talked about blood instead.

The format of the letters makes it interesting as you get to see how there interactions change over time. I am really happy how you made Andy a 'loyal' Black. WHAT THE HELL! SIRIUS AND ANDY! I haven't saw any fics about that ship yet...

Anyway...Andy and Ted FOREVER! Great Fic and death to the order!

Hey

The idea of using letters between them to show the progression of their relationship was a really good one, especially since you've shown them growing closer together through a progression of events that they spoke to each other. I like that in this instance, Ted is the one who pursued her relentlessly and Andromeda showed that she, at one point, did buy into her families pure blood ideology but overcame it because of her growing feelings for Ted.

Overall, a great Tedromeda that I quite enjoyed.

I love the idea of this story in the form of letters. Interesting to see Andy trying to hold up her family ideals and Ted just being all like 'don't lie, you know you want me'. I like how that attitude slowly wears her down and she starts to tease him. He doesn't let him pull the pure blood crap either, that's awesome. You've made me really like Ted. He's usually a very flat character to me. This was generally a great concept and very well executed. You forgot to underline the prompts. Down with the Order!

Wow, I really like this portrayal of Andromeda and Sirius running. I've never seen fic where they've done it at the same time, but I really like the idea.

It was really nice to see the progression of Ted and Andromeda's relationship without them "dating."
I found this a bit more realistic, she didn't just happen to never have had prejudice she grew up with her entire life, instead she gradually overcame as she fell in love.

You did a really nice job of using little details, such as how they address each other, to show the furthering of their relationship.

My only note would be that the change in attitude between the letter in which Andromeda tells them they are not friends and the one where she discusses her possibility of being married to Sirius or Regulus is a bit quick.

Overall, very good little to no SPaG, at least that I noticed, and an interesting (in a good way) take on a commonly addressed subject.

I really liked this. The progression of their relationship through letters was a great idea!

I thought it was very cute, Ted flirting with Andromeda. I could so imagine it happening! I particularly like the bit where she said, if he concentrated more on Quidditch than flirting, he might actually win a game - great stuff!

Little things: (1) 'distain' - I think you meant disdain; (2) Treacle Tart can be just 'treacle tart'; (3) 'I fear idea...' should be 'I fear [the] idea'.

I really enjoyed reading this. Nice work!

This was a really cool idea, I loved the format! The character growth was easy to see and the characterisations for both Andromeda and Ted were really good (especially loved sassy Andromeda). Can't find any shortcomings, this is my fav fic of the round so far!
(p.s. you forgot to underline prompts)

Awww this was lovely. I feel the tears in my eyes. I love the growth of their relationship. You bring focus to how they address each other in their letters and it's obvious Ted has been smitten from the start. I like the idea also that Andromeda and Sirius escaped the Blacks together. This was a great Tedromeda :)

I think it takes skills and creativity to have a coherent story through simply messaging. You did it well!
