First of all, I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to review this! I really do appreciate you writing this for me.
Now, onto the actual story!
I really liked this, it was an in depth exploration of a relatively minor character. And you know how much I like my minor characters!
I like the little side of Fleur in here as well, it's exactly how I would imagine her to react and I kind of feel sorry for Bill, knowing that he sees this.
I really love how you've included more than one opinion about him, if you get what I mean? How we get views from Fleur, Molly, Ginny and Bill himself.
And the last line was /so/ good! Very sad, but so true and it sums up what this drabble was all about, really.
Thank you!

This was wonderful! Bill really hasn't got it easy for him, eh? I love how you portray his family as being supportive of him, from Fleur's dedication to him to Remus and ugh. The feels. This both warmed and broke my heart and I thought the last line was perfect [The war has left him scarred on the outside, but really, who can say the war hasn't scarred them, visibly or not?] An amazing end to a even more fabulous story.

Aww!
This was such a sweet story, and I just loved how Ron was there for her, even comforting her when it came to Fred.
I loved the whole sickle for your thoughts aspect in this, it was very cute!
I liked the last few sentences most of all, it said so much about their relationship, and I loved how Ron would 'take them all, good and bad, and he wouldn't waste a second', that was a marvelous line! And the love he has for her really radiates off of this story!
All in all, this was a really sweet story and I really enjoyed it!
Wonderful work!

"I reckon we can all be a bit philosophical sometimes, and we don't all have to be brainiacs like Hermione Granger." Haha, this was great. Very Ron-ish, too, saying 'reckon' and calling Hermione a 'braniac'. Not to mention calling Hermione her full name.
The phrase, "Sickle for your thoughts?" was a creative play on "Penny for your thoughts?" :) Great way to start the story in my opinion.
Hermione was in-character, too, laughing uneasily and having trouble organizing her thoughts. And her missing her parents is completely understandable.
Overall, I think this was great. Nice job! :)

That was cute. I love Romione. I do wish you had taken a slightly different approach to the story, giving it a little bit of plot as opposed to dialogue and consoling - although it was cute, it didn't stand out to me, and there are a lot of fics like this out there. I know it's the thing some people like and you may have just wanted simplicity, which I understand completely, but um, yeah...
I really like this line: [I feel silly complaining about anything at all, when what I'm going through is nothing compared to what you and your family have lost. I mean Fred, Fred was important to me too, but I didn't live with him, grow up with him, or know him in the ways you do, and I can't miss him in the same way either."] - I feel that explains my feelings toward some things, and so I could relate to Hermione there.
It was lovely to see the bond Ron and Hermione had developed at the end of the war. I really like how you brought that to light. And I also liked the mentioning of good days and bad days, because that's what life is really - you just need to learn to embrace the good at every chance you get. I also loved this line: ["The trick is to enjoy life. Don't waste away your days wishing for better ones ahead," said Ron sagely.] - A really nice touch of philosophy there. ;)
Overall, I enjoyed it. Well done.

This was really good. You characterised both Ron and Hermione beautifully; I like that Ron still has insecurities about not being good enough when it comes to being with Hermione, and Hermione drawing a wand on him when he first approached was a very realistic reaction considering everything they've been through. Hermione's concerns were very well done, and I loved how Ron was able to eventually calm her down. Nice job with this, well done.

I love how Ron kept on adding more sickles "One sickle? Two? How about four?" I found that funny and it helped lightened the mood for this. I really adored how cute Ron and Hermione were in this, how kind and how they poked fun at one another. The flow and SPaG was perfect for this and I just really enjoyed reading it.

I liked this. I'm not usually one to read canon romance pairs, because I find them a little overdone, but I think you did a good job with this. I really enjoyed the fact that basically the whole fic was about how things weren't perfect after the war. I think that there was a lot of healing that had to be done, and I like that you touched on that issue. A detail that I loved: Hermione being jumpy and practically attacking Ron when he startled her. In my opinion, that's incredibly realistic for somebody who had just been through a war; I think most of the students would respond like that, for a little while at least. SPaG was excellent; just a small typo (it's 'dessert' to refer to something sweet, not 'desert'). Nice story.
