Review:NaidatheRavenclaw says:
Well now I see why this one the best characterization award! I should have come and read it before, I really should have, but I am here now :D

(I swear I'm going to have reviewed everything on your author's page by the end of the year if I keep going on like this :P)

Petunia in this, however, was impeccable (sp?). I don't think I've ever read a Petunia-centril fic during the Second War, so this was fresh and new. And I know your aversion to canons, though Petunia isn't one of the main characters, so that just makes this all the more amazing. She was really spot on for me. The repitition of cleaning was the best part of this. Coupled with the sections in italics, it made her character so much more than a mean old aunt. It was just wow.

And then the description. Your description is always flawless, of course, but this had some of my favorite lines. There are so many that I could point out but this one is one of my favorites: "You can scrub until the whole world is sparkling, but there will still be mountains of crap that you cannot move." That entire section was written so well, but I love this line in particular because it seemed to sum up the entire story, and in a way, life. You can try as hard as you like to make everything perfect, but all you're really doing is shoving stuff off to the side. There is so much that you can never get rid of. And that message was so clear throughout this story. I never thought I'd say this, but the cleaning imagery was some of my favorite of yours.

And the flower imagery was great as well, of course.

I loved the little addition at the end of them as kids. I especially like that Lily was not free from blame. She was attacking Petunia just as much as Petunia was attacking her, and they just felt like two sisters. A family with much bigger problems.

I feel like I end every review the same way (well, I do, I end it with my name, but the line before that is always pretty much the same so let's change it up a bit)

OH. I HAVEN'T USED AMAWEFANSUDIBLE YET.

So the end of my review this time is going to be:

Keep on being amawefansudible! ♥

Author's Response: -review response number. four, is it?-

HEY. I feel like you're also getting a bit of a day in the life from me here, as I keep coming back to these at different points in the day. Now its post-school and I'm hungry again, just if you were curious ;)

AH. I'll stop sending you hugs on twitter but I'm overwhelmeed withh lovve (had a nice day, so am feeling sentimental). Shut up, Helen. Channel it all into fluff. Answer the damn review.

So. Characterisation. Petunia.

(i'm totally okay with you having reviewed everything on my page, I'd love to have someone who could say that - although that probably means I should have less stuff).

I actually had such a crystal clear version of how I wanted this to be and I still can't decide whether or not it met my expectations, but then I think it's not all that bad.

I really really liked that quote, actually :D

Bah, flawless description? I just go overboard and start throwing things at the screen being like METAPHOR take a SIMILIE COMPUTER b, thank you all the same. Life is a wonderfully imperfect thing. I mean, life is like England - crap, but I love lovelovelove it.

Damn sun, making all my thoughts sunny. How am I supposed to write angst now?

Ee, thank you so muchly. I've always thought that the Evans's must have been partially, not responsible, bu the way they acted must have really hurt Petunia. I'm facinated in the relationship between siblings, not least because my relationships with my siblings are... lacking at time, but that's what it's like to have sisters and brothers, right? It's a wonderful yet amazing thing. Anyway, yeah. I'mma stop now.

You're amawefansudible! :D
