And I love that, because you put such lovely touches on this theme that, while the event occurring may be a "normal" one (playing chess, owning a cat, shopping for shoes, strugging with an instructions manual, etc....), there's always some wonderful thing that separates your fics from being just that.
That's one thing I love about the books and TV show - nothing is just "normal" for Harry and that's entertaining for me. Everything is a challenge for him and I like exploring those little things we take for granted that would be hard if you were a wizard or if your daughter was a wizard or if you had to deal with a cranky ghost.
Your fics amaze me because I so very often strongly feel the sense of companionship that comes through the screen on their heels, and I often walk away from reading them feeling distinctly calmed. As I've said before, your stories remind me of nostalgia--the good kind, mind you, and I can't recall if you have ever disappointed with a theme.
Aww, thank you. *blushes* Thank you for your comment. I always feel very happy when I read your reviews. :D
