wow, you really made me cry! and not those i-say-i-cried-but-in-real-live-i-didn't-cry-at-all but those you-made-me-cry-and-there-were-real-tears-streaming-down-my-cheek!
i love the idea of this story, thought i think it would be even more lovely (...not lovely, a better word is sad) if there was another last letter which goes by "Dear Fred, soon I'll see you again. Love, George"
still, i love then ending and everything!
have a nice day,
Laura

This is just so heartwarming, it made me cry, I was crying all through reading it. I envy you for being able to write something as amazing as this, because I'm not sure I have that gift.

I feel so, so bad for George, he lost his twin, his best friend. It's hard to imagine what state the whole family would have been in, but this is really, really good.

Oh dear God I've stopped reading this like 3 times because I'm welling up so much my tears are flooding my vision and I can't read to see if you've made any mistakes that I can call you out on!

In a really sad way I love the idea of George continuing to write to Fred even when he's dead. Obviously he misses him so much he feels like this is the way of communicating to him when he's gone - kind of like a diary. It's so human and realistic and sad I can't even begin to describe! I don't understand how you've managed to write this so perfectly - you must have blubbed your eyes out throughout!

Also I'm glad that you've inserted the little struggle with Angelina there. I've always supported the idea that Angelina married George because there was no Fred anymore, and maybe they both got together through their mutual feelings of missing him, so I'm glad to read that someone else kind of agrees with that idea!

Everything was really sad at first in the first several letters, but then I started to notice that George's tone is lightening - especially when he writes about Angelina loving him back and talking about Teddy and Fleur and Molly being better - and while he still has the occasional heartbreaking "I miss you" comment, you still have kept with the flow of the story. It just seems so realistic and such a human thing to do that I can't even comprehend it. It's a really brilliant piece of writing and I loved every bit of it. I think a particular highlight for me was Fred forgetting Valentines day! I laughed a lot. I'm glad you continued this for as long as you did, and going higher and higher in years, because it feels like Fred really did take this seriously even as he's gotten older, and it wasn't just something he did when he was grieving.

Well done! Really enjoyed it (despite crying like a child all the way through). Didn't notice a single error whatsoever!

Oh my Dark Lord, this was hard to read. Not that it was poorly written, quite the opposite - you had me in tears by the 3rd letter and it was hard to keep reading after that. The character's emotions come through very clearly to the reader.

The part about Molly's nervous breakdown caught me off-guard.

I was gad to see that it did start to get happier as time went on, but there's still a depressing feeling to the letters that are relating happy news.

T_T Excuse me while I go cry in a corner...

Really touching. Interesting concept for a fanfic, too. Some of your sentences were a bit awkward-sounding, and I felt that George's first letter to Fred after his death had some odd romantic overtones, but other than that, I really enjoyed this story. Though you floundered a bit in the beginning, you ended up capturing George pretty well. Keep up the good work! Lots of love!
