I read it!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Actually, I re-read it about ten times yesterday :-)) I barely could wait till the morning because I loved it so, so much!!! You're fabulous!!! It's so absolutely great!!!!!!! Sorry... I know all those exclamation marks don't express my thoughts too well - it's just an attempt to express how your story made me feel.
I knew it would be great. Because no one can write Ron/Pettigrew as you do. But knowing it didn't prepare me to how much I'm going to fall in love with your story. It was perfect, just perfect.
I'm sorry if I'm going to be kind of incoherent - but I just had too many thoughts coming to my mind :-) Poor Peter... oh my God, poor Peter... you made me feel so sorry for him! All the time but especially when you wrote about him sleeping all the time - as Scabbers always did - for some reason it was so sad... And his feet. Damn :-) Liking Snape taught me that greasy hair and yellow teeth can be sexy :-) And your story taught me that a big belly and blistered feet can be sexy :-) Yes, Peter wasn't good - never in your story he is nice, he doesn't even show kindness to Ron. But there is something about him, some vulnerability... And I felt like I didn't want him to die.
Oh, I liked Ron so much in your story! He had that inner strength - even after everything he still was mutinous, still had his personality in him. And that moment when he thinks that Harry would have been Pettigrew's first choice. You don't even name the emotion he feels, and it's right - and yet it's so clearly what he feels! Poor Ron...
The subtlety of your writing is amazing! How you know what to tell and what only to hint! Harry's supportive presence - it's in everything, even though he doesn't say anything special - but one just can feel it. And Snape... that moment when he walks Harry on the leash. And when he's there, behind Harry, not saying anything. My God, it's just too good. And all those things Pettigrew says! They are so subtle, so *mundane* - but at the same time they give such a clear picture of his state of mind, of what happens...
Thank you for this story! I can't say enough how much I loved it, how much I'm impressed. I need to rec it on my LJ (as if people don't know about it yet :-)) And please, please, can I have it on my site? Or the link to it on your site, whichever way you prefer it! (You can't say 'no', you can't!)
