Ohh, if you are able to read sad fic ("A Different Fate" is poignant but more uplifting, imho), look at All Through The Night - it's centred around Petunia and her motherly feelings for Harry. I'd almost picked it as my personal favourite.

And I'm so flattered <3 Thank you. Writing "All That Remains" marked me too, because I realised that I was capable of plotting and world-building, not "only" fic centred completely around character/emotions.

I second All through the Night! Capitu, you really must read it. *cries*

I love it when a story breaks your heart like this and then makes it better. This is so amazing. Angsty and brilliant.

I really do love how you wrote Petunia.

Sometimes you know a character, you read them on the books but they aren't real past them, you know? Past the books, past the canon. You just made Petunia a real character for me in a whole different dimension.

It's hard to explain. I don't even know if I'm making any sense. I loved it.

And yeah I can read sad fic! I need to gather my courage though but I love Angst.

Thank you ♥ I'm so so happy I made Petunia real. Throughout the books, especially in the later ones, I related so much to her through my own struggles with motherhood. That got me thinking.

Some of my most beloved canon characters aren't "real" for people, or if they are, they're only there to be despised. Petunia, Dudley, Percy, Peter, to name the major ones.

Thank you again for giving it a shot. (I have lots and lots and lots of angst. Idk why, but it's what I write best. I think if I ever tried fluff, it might end up ridiculous ;)

I admit I don't tend to think too much about smaller characters, but once in a while there's a fic like yours, like [Unknown site tag]'s A Casual Death, and they remind me how amazing is to see a character through someone else's eyes. I love that feeling.

And I love your Angst. Fandom wouldn't be the same without it. *hugs*

Somehow I almost always develop a weird fondness (or burning love) for some side character, often enough one who's seen as despicable by others. In LotR it's Gríma Wormtongue, in GoT it's Theon Greyjoy, and there are others in other fandoms.

Thank you, really. Hearing that was very good for me right now. Without lovely readers/commenters/reccers like you, fandom would be nowhere close to as good and enjoyable as it is.
