Good story and you definitely got me to cry. I too ended up reading the whole thing in one night, I just couldn't stop! Good job!  |

Same as Gifted here - I read the whole thing in a night. I love everyone's feelings. For some reason - don't ask me why - Adara was my favorite. She always seemed to have a solution - good or bad - and knew life had to go on. It seemed as if some points Albus and Minerva were living in the past and wishing they had been better parents (which I really understand - I would do the same thing). But Adara always seemed to keep going - no matter what came her way. This story is amazing and I love it. |

No one really seems to like her all that much and kept saying that she was a brat. Its nice to see someone who appreciates Adara because I never meant for Adara to be the evil bitch everyone was suppose to hate. The whole point of this fic was just a little possibility of what life for AD and MM's children might have been like. Expecially since all the stories w/ children were all uber fluffy and kind of generic. *thinks of Athena Dumbledore* Anyways, glad you liked it! ~kissofdeath |

You know i think it was just the change from 3rd into 1st person thats put me off. And that really well written and complex issues are seemingly solved in a sentence. Also introducing another tricky subject like loosing the ability to have children in an epilouge is a bit pointless. Sorry i dont mean to be picky, i really did like this story. Even though it did have cutting in it, and that usually bugs me because anytime there is teenage angst in fics these days cutting is introduced as a symtom of depression. |

The reason I kept switching it is because some moments needed it (scene in grave) because Kingsley is witnessing it. Plus some parts needed to be more neutral and others needed more emotion.
The confrontation scene I'll admit could have been better but overall I think it was what was needed. MM admitted to her past mistakes and wanted to try and work through them. The main issue in this whole fic with Adara is that she doesn't know how to forgive, which she states. Adding how they solved their issues and by explaining both sides would have been pointless. I feel that you can at least get enough of an understanding of Minerva's reasons and thinking and Adara's reactions and emotions from the memories.
The issue about Adara losing the ability to have children was, in my opinion a significant part of the fic. Adara has tried all her life to seperate herself from her family. (the way she dresses, acts) She did want children, a husband, etc. She was just so afraid about letting herself open for all that and letting someone in (the issues with Kingsley) Plus, she was also afraid that if ever she had a child, she would force it to endure what she herself went through, especially since she's in such a demanding job as an auror, which would likely lead to neglect over her child.
By losing her ability to have children, that problem is solved and she will never make a child suffer in that manner, although she feels some pain as a result of that, esp. since all those around her are flaunting their newly born children. In the end, there is still somethings that seperate her from the rest of her family.
I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm being a little obnoxious and unwilling to accept you're honest opinion. I'm really not, I respect and do understand you're comment. I'm just trying to explain some aspects with the story you appeared to have some issues with.

Hey dudes, If anyone's interested, I'm posting this on ff.net but it'll be kind of different so if anyones curious check it out! I'm using Adara's perspective more and the ending will be a little less happily ever after. www.fanfiction.net/s/4663663/1/Because_of_Them~kissofdeath |
