I haven't thought about The Glass Menagerie in years. "Blow out your candles, Laura! And so goodbye."

I've always thought that Laura and Luna had a lot in common.... though there's nothing fragile about Luna. ;-) |

Yes, it is wonderful!
And if she was simply a projection of Luna’s unconscious, it seemed rude to interrupt herself.
LOL! Great little story! I enjoyed meeting Lily, and Luna makes any encounter entertaining. |

Thanks so much! (That was one of those Luna-thoughts that came to me out of the ether as I was writing--definitely Luna talking to me!) |

What a lovely plot bunny! Yes, Luna would have to think long and hard about whether to return to this life or the next. Lily was the perfect character for her to discuss this with for all the reasons stated. (And for the nice rebuttal of Ginny looks like Lily thing and the catty sort who like to analyze Harry's motiviation) Love the blue roses mispronunciation - a nod to Glass Menagerie?
I was relieved that Luna made the choice she did - even though it was going to hurt. Yes - it's always better to finish the story . . . |

Yup! I've always felt that Luna is Laura... with a much stronger sense of self. And a wand. ;-)
And yeah, when I wrote this, I'd just seen another outburst of the Ginny-is-a-slut-so-she-must-have-fed-him-Amortencia-AND-have-appealed-to-his-screwed-up-Oedipal-fantasies argument, and was feeling snarky. ;-)
Luna, with her quasi-Buddhist world-view, would definitely see the opportunities presented by each of the choices here--which I thought a good thing. I mean, I can see Harry [i]considering[/i] the chioces, but I can't imagine him for a moment leaving behind any unfinished business. Like, say... Ginny.

| I really really loved this. I don't usually like reading stories about characters other than Harry or Ginny (biased me) but I adore Luna so much, I just had to. You did a fantastic job. I liked how you wrote Lily - she had a very... human quality about her, made her seem more real than I'd expected. Thank you for such a great little fic! Keep it up! |

Thanks for branching out! Luna really is wonderful--I'm hoping that we get to see all of her sides in book seven: the whimsical, the pathetic and the insightful. Not to mention the fierce.
And I love Lily. I've only written her a couple of times, but each time is a real eye-opener for me. She has to walk this amazingly fine line between being as forthright (and human) as Ginny and as heady as Hermione. It's an interesting mix.
I'm glad you enjoyed! |

| Yes, this is wonderful! Three cheers to Luna, and to you, Antosha, for this really delightful chameo. Right from the beginning: You shall not pass! and Luna's pleasure in finally uttering that phrase to her patting Lily's arm. Thank you! |

Glad this pleased!
Luna is one of my favorite characters, and I've loved Gandalf's challenge to the Balrog since I read it... way too many years ago! XD |

That was great! Made me feel warm inside , even though it was quite a somber subject.
The only problem i had with this story, is that Luna seemed IMHO out of character, however once she had 'died' she was perfect. I also thought, having Lily as an almost 'Grim Reaper' like character, asking Luna what her next step was going to be was brilliant.
I just want to know if Harry wins now lol

Thanks, Hannah!
And what do you think: does Harry win?
If I ever have to face a Reaper, I'd like it to be someone like Lily, wouldn't you?
As for Luna at the top... I always thought one of the most interesting and revealing scenes in which she appears in canon is the Dept. of Mysteries battle. Other than Harry, she's the only one who manages to get through without being severely injured, and from the moment the DEs spring the trap on, there's nothing airy or diffuse about her--she saves both Ron and Ginny and seems to behave with a clarity of focus most unlike her everyday demeanor. And so that was the side that I wanted to explore at the beginning.
Of course, the minute the question is decided (apparently) and the Troll crushed (and Luna kinda-dead), she shifts right back into more typical behavior. For her, anyway. |

I never knew Luna liked the Lord of the Rings...
Interesting perspective. I'd never have thought I'd ever read a story of those two meeting each other, but it was very well done. Really loony.
Oh, and I'm glad that Lily didn't look like Ginny. |

Me too. I've actually thought about the Freudian!H/G thing a lot, and then I reread OotP and realized that the description of Lily is quite, quite un-Ginny-like. As someone married to a strawberry blonde with two auburn-haired children, I know all too well that sometimes red≠red.
I can't think of another story with Luna and Lily... but they do work well together, don't you think?
(And I had this idea that Mr. Lovegood would have brought back a whole bunch of Muggle fantasy novels as research for an article on the Muggle infiltration of the Wizarding World. At least, that was my justification. ) |
