Reviews for This is the Way I Fall

    It was totally an awesome update!!! I appreciate it being as fast as humanly possible, as I read and reviewed the other chapters in my morning and its now my night in which I've read the latest chapter, so like less than 12 hours for u to update as far as I'm concerned!!! LOL.

    I think it flowed fairly well. I all honesty I thought it was quite good. I think what you're feeling is that it's kinda off, because the situation is kinda off. If you think about it, I think that's exactly how a scene like that with all that background to these people would play out, kinda awkward. If you're with someone that the other person has had trouble with before, but you're both trying to get along, it's just going to be very neutral subjects like sport and practical jokes, and the interaction between the couple IS going to be a little off, lots of downplaying it and joking around (like the bagel scene). To me it was spot on in capturing the off, awkwardness of the situation, and you've done this almost unknowingly/subconsciously, which is why you can't seem to figure out what makes it seem wrong, when in fact the wrongness is good. Does that make any sense? I hope it does.

    Before I knew you were American, I really had no thought as to what your nationality would be. I suppose I thought you were Australian too, because I just don't think outside the box too much, and if not Australian, then you were British. But American would have been the third option. I want the black guy to win your presidency election!!! LOL. I have no idea how your system of government works, but I know that George Bush wont be in power for much longer, that there is some other white male candidate, Hilary Clinton, and the Black guy. lol. I want to see an African-American president because that would just be so great and liberating for those people of that nationality especially after all the racial segregation and discrimination of the past. OMG I totally just went into a rant about politics, sorry!!! OHHHH and about my accent, I feel that I don't really have one because I hear it all the time, but I suppose if YOU heard me talk it would be a totally different story. But I can put on a high and low class British accent, and a almost believable Texas, Deep South, American accent. Canadian is pretty much beyond me however. lol.

    Ummm, I don't think there is too much else for me to say, other than I loved this to pieces and I can't wait for more. Don't worry I don't think that this story is one of those downhill stories, she really shouldn't have stopped it there, keep going I tells ya!

    Would love a quick update, but can understand if it takes some time to get out!

    much love and admiration,

    i completely understand draco and ron finally getting along. they started out doing it for harry and then realized that they both changed. i thought it was great. it flowed extremely well. i enjoyed the chapter. i still think that maybe harry and draco could maybe kiss and make up on the flight.

    Ok, because I am truly pathetic (no really, don't even think of arguing) I thought about this story at work all day today. And I have come to the conclusion that I am really mad at Harry.

    I get the fact that Molly is ill, but Ron and them basically told H/D to fuck off and they haven't spoken in a year. Now Harry sees Ron and it's all happy go lucky? No!!! If I were Draco I would throw a right tantrum in the airport and either go home or catch the other flight to Brazil. How dare harry just accept Ron's apology like that and decide their vacation? Especially when Draco is exghausted and overwrought. *glares*

    *cuddles Draco protectively while giving Ron evil rabid fangirl death glare* (patented)

    At least let my Draco argue with Harry over this! Ron has to realize that simply showing up will not ensure his immediate forgiveness. *punches Harry* *glares at Gabz's muse*

    But I still love you :)

    OH. MY. GOD. I ABSOLUTELY NEED MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've always wanted to see a confrontation between Harry and Ron and the old England clan. I've also wanted to see the wizarding friends meeting the muggle american friends, i thought that would be pretty interesting, but I don't think that this is heading anywhere in that direction.

    Molly's sick! OH NO! I like Molly. Although I'm not too sure as to how you are going to portray her in this because of what Arthur has done. Was she in on it? Did she condone what he did? Or did she not know, found out later, and forgave him? I'm really not sure. Or does she not know at all maybe? What I kinda don't understand is how come Lucius didn't use all his money and connections to bring Arthur down, to put him in prison, to take all his money away (not that he has any to start with), seek a dementor's kiss or something. Coz knowing Lucius he'd be likely to want revenge for his wife when he found out the truth, not just have petty fights in book stores. But I wont say more coz that could stuff up your fandom. I'll pretend it doesn't exist if you want me to, alright?? lol.

    Yeh, I didn't think they were going to Brazil. I was like OK, either this person knows about Brazil and has been there before, or they're not actually going lol. Besides, what story can you get out of two lovers going on a week holiday anyway? Shhhhhhh don't say smut that will ruin my logic!!! lol.

    OK well, update as fast as humanly possible for my sanity and I will love you forever!

    I don't think they're cry babies at all!!!!!!!!! Actually only just last night I was watching "So You Think You Can Dance" and there were men crying on it because they'd been kicked out which is a big thing for a dancer coz it's like being told you're no good when you've worked soo hard all your life to be good at dancing (I would know, coming from a dancing background myself) and I seriously said to the person I was watching it with something along the lines of "Only real men can Dance and cry, especially on TV" and then I was reading you're AN about them crying whether it makes them any less of a man, and I was like OMG they danced and they cried!!! lol, my quote from last night works for this story!!!!

    I think it's good that Draco opened up to Harry again, I knew they couldn't stay mad at each other for long! I can't wait to see how Harry explains it to their friends eventually though. Cuddles on the couch are the best kinds.

    Well, off to the next chapter!

    Freshman/Sophmore OMG ur american! How did I not guess, with the american frat houses etc!!! the horror the horror!!! Just kidding. I'm Australian, so I don't reli know how old freshman/sophmore makes u for that writing lol. But still I do know what you mean about the accident so bad but u can't look away, I must say i have my fair share of those. And I kinda take back what I said about having so much crap on the net now, coz without the crap the authors wouldn't develop into better writers, everyone has to go through a crap stage where they upload it coz they want to see what people think not necessarily because its good.
    Awwwwwww poor Draco. Poor Harry! I would feel really bad if there was nothing I could do to help the one I love most when they are in need too, almost to the point of needing to help them to help yourself. And what you said about the joking about tentative issues is soo right. Which is why I try not to joke about anything controversial. One of my friends uses rape and abuse all the time as a joke, like I dunno, "she's raping my arm!!!" If I've grabbed onto her arm, or lots of stuff where she calls out "abuse" for no apparent reason other than a joke, and I don't say anything but it really gets on my nerves.

    Well I'm off to read more since it's already uploaded!!! tehehe

    Dammit, I can let you leave me speechless twice in a row! Ron, Molly, England...all on the tails of the fight they had about the Weasleys and the Malfoys. This just doesn't seem right. And then Harry, switching plans without discussing it with Draco! I don't see this as it getting better, you just worked another fight into the mix. Damn it!

    To commense with the speechlessness:

    Ch. 8 I'm sorry that it's taken Mrs. Weasley's illness to bring Ron to see Harry. But he's behaving a lot better in that scene than Draco is. It's too bad about Mrs. Weasley. But this means that Draco will be facing Ron's father and that has the potential for a lot of bad feeling right there. This is going to be one tense reunion.

    RON???? At the airport???? Here I was thinking sex at the airport and it was Ron??? *looks gobsmacked*

    Ok, yes, I did not guess that. I can see why this is going to be one long emotional rollercoaster of a week for our boys. *cuddles them protectively* And Ron better not abandon Harry again once the truth is revealed. *glares at Ron* Well, even if he does, I think it will be good for Harry to see the "old crowd" after such a long time. He needs to get past some of his insecurity issues and either get some closure with the situation or renew tentative friendships. And Draco? Oh, please don't let this situation completely bite him in the ass. I'm worried about him!

    London calling... Molly better have a pretty apology waiting! And the Weasley's better behave themselves. Ooohhh... and will Draco go visit his mum?

    Ok, gotta go to work. So happy you updated this so fast. Be a princess and do it again! *looks around shiftily* Please? *winks at your muse* I LOOOOVVVVVEEEE you!

    Kisses!
