This is a fabby story! Squee! I love all your stories and read them sporadically and randomly and out of order. Oh well ;)
Lucy is my heroine and Scorpy is a doll. Seriously, if he was real I would kidnap him and keep him in my basement. Not to be Rose-like in any way of course.
Al is a mental health doctor?! Of course. He has Rose and Lucy for cousins, the doily loving duo of Percy and Audrey for an aunt and uncle, and Scorpius for a friend.
I only caught one typo in the whole thing, and that was because I thought it was an amusing one:
"All she did was turn up and wave her wand at our suitcase and, viola, in a short matter of days, we’d managed to fit the contents of our entire flat into it"
I'm pretty sure that "viola" should be "voila" but knowing you, the word choice there could have some deep, existential, Brooding-Nameless-Barry-esque meaning that is unknown to an ignorant reader like myself.
Ciao and love muffins to you *squish*

I love this so so so much. You're a fantastic writer and so versatile - you can write humour and angst with equal flair and skill. Very impressed by the whole story; it's wonderfully entertaining and engaging.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! That's such a kind thing to say :3 I'm really glad you enjoyed it and thank you for leaving such a lovely review! ♥

I saw this chapter didn't have any reviews so I thought I'd give it one. :D

I just wanted to let you know that as soon as I finished Starving Artists, I rushed (well, 'rushed' is used loosely; my Internet sucks) to get this open.

I really like your Lucy and Scorpius, and I LOVE your style of writing. It's just so nice and lovely.

I loved the cupboard gremlin, and the lady's name. I can't remember it, Euphemeria Flitting or something? Very original. :p

Lucy and Scorpius are just so adorable omg, I can't wait to read more about them! :D

10/10! :D

Author's Response: I'm so so happy you're reading this but STTOOOP THERE I'M STIIILL REWRITING THIIIS AAAH PANIIC

Regardless, glad you like it, haha! Once gotham is in ashes, you have my permission to continue reading (and by 'once gotham is in ashes', I mean, 'once I have finished rewriting')

Thank you for the lovely review! ♥

Aww...Scorp doesn't want to get married...this is awkward... Haha

Anyway, nice chapter and love Tarks and Gwen:) I missed them :) they sort of brighten up my day you know?

-iatevoldysnose

Author's Response: He shares my views on the matter...he's just as cynical as I am ;D

Awh! That's really sweet :3 Thank you for reviewing! ♥

Hahaha the Burns Dinner was funny :)
So much drinking for Lu and Call-Me Mary-Sue:))
Nice chapter

-iatevoldysnose

Author's Response: Being Scottish, I can testify that we do a lot of drinking in this country - Lucy is sticking by the 'when in New New Elgin, do as the New New Elginers' policy ;D

Thanks for reviewing! ♥

Wow. I siriusly did NOT expect that...the coven wow.
That was an intense chappie and really enjoyed it... :)

And I'm glad they have a cat now...I'm a dog person but I'm glad ;) Andrew socks now has a home:)

-iatevoldysnose

Author's Response: Personally, I'm a cat /and/ dog person. I think I just like cuddling things.

Thanks for reviewing! ♥

 Report Review

Aghh! Omg what happened?! That was such a good chapter...I don't mind angst personally...it makes a story interesting but cliffhangers are just a no-no. :) love the chapter though...
I have a feeling that Mary-Sue has something to do with this...idk but its just all happening so fast(not that that's a bad thing).

Just want to let you know that I really love this story! It's so awesome:))

-iatevoldysnose

Author's Response: Hehe, you'll find out! Ooh, love me a cliffhanger. Especially an angsty cliffhanger!

Thank you so much! Your reviews are really appreciated, they've put a smile on my face ♥

That meeting went...quite well haha:) Thank god Murdoch was there...otherwise Lu might have been bored out of her mind...

-iatevoldysnose

Author's Response: Hehe, yes! Ahh, unfortunately, Murdoch is getting written out of this chapter in the current rewrite because I ended up deleting the prequel where his character was so important :P

Thanks for the review! ♥

 Report Review

Naww! That was such a cute chapter...
Christmas is always such a moce time of the year:)
I'm so glad that Molly has a good bf...I mean fiance
DOES THIS MEAN LU WILL BE GETTIN MARRIED SOON?

Agh...so exciting and I can't wait for Gwen and Tarks:)

-iatevoldysnose

Author's Response: My lips are sealed!

Thanks for reviewing :) ♥

 Report Review

I loved this chapter;) so much happening! Idk whether its just me, but I have a feeling that Scorp isn't spending that much time at home with Lu...or mb that's because I just wat drama...I'm a drama lover ahaha...but yeh I think they aren't that many times when they actually are talking properly...
Like its just my opinion, but I think Scorp and Lu are sort of drifting apart...well not really idk how to explain what I mean so sorry but I sort of mean that everything is so hectic and that there's nothing really happening between them, you get me?

I always knew Mary-Sue was hiding something...hehe

Well anyway I loved this chapter and can't wait until I read the next one:)

-iatevoldysnose

Author's Response: Awh! I am also a drama lover, hee~ I'm working on this aspect a bit more in my current rewrite, but, yeah, you'd be slightly correct in your estimations about them drifting apart a bit.

Thanks for reviewing! ♥

 Report Review

AHAHAHAHA! When Scorp got the page wrong, and said he wanted to try it...lol omg hilarious
Then he actually reads what Lu meant and his reaction...omg epicness
Hahaha im glad that Scorp is happy:) Puns are obv his thing haha...so punny:)

Naw haha Gwen and Tark are so funny haha and Lu and Scorp are so cute:) Scorp is all flirty and stuff its adorable. Its just weird that they are always early now...in the prequel to this, they were always late haha times change:)

Omg and the idea for the book...epic! Scorp is so oblivious sometimes...Does Mary-Sue have something wrong with her eyes? haha and yes, I think Scorp would be a very good Bernice and Lu would be a very good Ivan.

And loved the part about the pouting like a duck:)

GAAASP! MARY-SUSSANAH ELLIS ENTERED THE TALENT QUEST FOR THE QUEST!

OH NO SHE DIDNT! *clicking in Z formation*

And I dont think this chapter was lame at all dont worry...

YES! Scopr gets to be the hero! HURRAH HURRAH! Hope that comes soon...and I wish Gwen and Tark would come already!

Author's Response: Poor Scorpius, all he wants is to do DIY!

Writing flirty Scorpius is a wee bit fun. And I had to justify him being sorted into Slytherin /somehow/...even if it's just giving him minor devious flirt tendencies, hehee.

Despite that, he's also a bit naive. Hence 'is there something up with her eyes...?'

HA ♥ snapping your fingers in a z form-a-tion. Sassy!

Thank you for reviewing! ♥

OMG midget wildebeasts:) i cracked up at that!
I suspect Mary-Sue! Maybe im unknowingly or secretly a person from New New Elgin...YOU WILL NEVER FIND OUT MWAHAHAHAH!
haha sorry about that...but I actually do think that there's something weird going on...I mean 3 new people in two weeks? If thats not suspicious, then idk what is. And I know all the Jeans and Kevin and the rest will agree with me:)

Scorpius is just so cute and adorable and just just just oh idk how to describe.anyway i think you get the point

ACK! They want her to write smut? I sort of thought that would happen, but I really didnt know haha...but still ACK!

-iatevoldysnose

Author's Response: You may be on to something! Or you may not be. I'm not giving anything away ;D

Hee. I think writing smut is a rite of passage for most writers, but especially those of us who write fanfiction - have you ever /seen/ fanfiction .net?

Thanks for the review! ♥

OMG haha they joined a band...I was just wondering whether this band will turn out better than the one Scorp was in last time (omg I cant remember the name of it:()...I guess im just gonna have to read the next chappie oh no! (haha just kidding i love this)
Love this story so much! Its so unique and crazy and weird and fab and funny and hilarious and just so asdfghjkl!

Cant wait to read the next one...

-iatevoldysnose

Author's Response: I think any band is going to be better than Screaming Bloodthirsty Disco :P

I'm glad you're enjoying it! Your reviews are fantastic :3 ♥

Gwendiferous and Tarks are awesome as nicknames:) so are Tarkatron and Lucille and Gwendatron haha
I had wanted Gwendolyn/Raven and Tarquin to get together in Starving Artists, and im glad they are now:)Nice Chapter!

-iatevoldysnose

Author's Response: Hee, I did sense that theirs was a fairly popular ship. Thanks for the review! ♥

Gremlin-free at last!
The Drookit Duck is a nice name for a pub haha. Its so weird that there are 5 Jeans (or Jeanies)...and it would be so weird if the top was actually meant to say Elgin Regrets haha
Everyone in the town seems a bit weird...they are all oddballs hehe

I like this story because even though there isnt much drama etc right now, the story isnt boring at all...there is just so much retardedness (dont mean to dis your writing if your offended...I like retardedness) and so much of what i love about Lucy and Scorp:)

Going to read the next chapter now:)

-iatevoldysnose

Author's Response: Sadly, I can't claim to have come up with the pub name by myself - I based it on a pub I know called The Drookit Dug~

Seriously, if you think having five Jeans is weird, you should meet my family. Four Jeans, five Marys, three Roberts, two Hughs, about seven Maries...the perks of having a massive Scottish family.

Ah, glad you're enjoying it! Thank you so much for reviewing ♥

 Report Review

Omg haha...I blame London:)
Euphemia Flitter seems like an odd character haha...naw! I want a cuddly lochness monster plushie...New New Elgin is such a weird name...does it actually exist? It seems like just the place for Lucy and Scorp:)
I just find it a bit weird that the lady would ask randoms to watch her shop hehe

Next chapter here i come

-iatevoldysnose

Author's Response: I've finally started to rewrite this story, so I've just realised that some of your comments in reviews might make little sense now XD I've taken out the 'I blame London' line, but in retrospect, maybe I should have kept it in!

New New Elgin itself doesn't exist, but Elgin does! When I was researching the area (I always planned for them to live in a separate magical community, but I still did my research, haha) I found out there's an area of Elgin called 'New Elgin' so...New New Elgin it is.

Ah, sorry you find it odd! It's just that it's a small community - if she can see the shop from the phone box, it'd be ok~

Thank you for reviewing! ♥

OMGG I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LUCY AND SCORP!

WOOHOO! This sequel seems to be really good:) I really like this chapter and its so crazy and I can sort of relate to them (not in how they throw darts to determine where they are gonna live though haha).
They are so hilarious!
"We have to move"
He took a cautious step to the side.
"Well..." he said. "I moved"
"Not like that you dolt"

Omg that has to be my favourite part of the chapter:)

I really like the title of the story...Weather for Ducks...It suits it and just reminds me of the whole "We Are Ducks, Not Frogs" conversation from Starving Artists :)

I absolutely love this pairing and I just wanted to let you know that it was because of your wonderful writing skills:)

Well...Im going to keep reading:)

Peace out

-iatevoldysnose

Author's Response: :3 writing Lucy/Scorp fluff is rather fun, I'll admit.

Weather for Ducks is actually my favourite title out of everything I've written - I think someone said 'it's nice weather for ducks' to me in a conversation once and I felt like my head had exploded as I realised it was the perfect title for my sequel.

Awh, thank you so much for saying that! You're really very kind ♥

AH I love this seriously, it's the best. You're an awesome writer.
Just wanna, you captured the spirit of Scotland really well. I actually live in Scotland as well.
Dundee actually, and I also used to live in Manchester.
It was nice to read a story set up here in Scotland. You don't get many of those, probably because of all the rain.
People quite like to write about sunnyness.
So yeah, awesome story, got to read more of your work :D
Sad it's over
I'm gonna go now :D

Author's Response: Thank you so much! Eep, haha, hope you don't mind my casual jibe at Dundee in chapter one :L I have a bit of a vendetta against Dundee ever since the DJCAD fouled up my art school application and rejected me without even having seen my portfolio~

But, yep, it was dead good fun writing a story set in my homeland! I don't live there anymore, but I'm from the North East and I'd wanted to write a story set in that vague area for ages.

Conversely, I hate writing about sunnyness. I love the rain.

Thanks for reviewing! ♥

REPOSTING BECAUSE I CAN BUT NOW WITH 100% LESS FORMATTING PROBLEMS ♥ :
baww Scorpius, a workaholic. You are a bad artist. You need more cat poetry days.
hehehehe. That is such an artist way of looking at jobs, it is like the most arteesty way, srsly.

Scorpius's insistence as he's all You know I like puns ♥

ACCIO LOVE IS MY FAVORITE. I also read that as Indecents at the Apothecary and squinted.

Always judge a book by its cover, Lucy. Always. If it's got muscley torsos Photoshopped on, that is not a book you want to read.

MIDGET WILDEBEEST. LOL DO YOU ALWAYS USE THIS PHRASE OR SOMETHING. eh children, wildebeest. same thing.
I still remember the last time Scorpius had an encounter with small children. Scorpius did not come out as the winner.

OMG LOL THE SRSNESS. "WE HAVE TO GO THERE. NOW." Now that they're in on it I expect this to be 10x lulzier. TO THE DUCK. My dreams are a getting wee bit closer with every exclamation.

OHHH MARY SUE. OHHH. SHE IS EVIL. I SENSE EVIL AND FOREBODING.
lolol scorpo and lucy's thought are like my own rambly ones. I approve.
(EEEVIL.)

OMG THAT LAST BIT WITH SCORPIUS. IS SO CUTE. RAINBOWS OUT OF MY MOUTH. DOUBLE RAINBOWS.

also the last line just about killed me even though I knew it was coming. haaa.

Author's Response: but 100% crack!

waaa, this is why I had an epiphany midway through writing the prequel that made me want to throw said prequel in the bin and change all my canon. Lucy's the Hufflepuff and he's the Slytherin, but she's the mildly cunning one and he's the loyal, hardworking one. WHY COULDN'T THEY HAVE SWAPPED.

Indecents at the Apothecary would actually work in this context.

idk I just /midget wildebeest/ but, yes. Scorpius and children. one big prancing octopus 'nope nope nope' there.

to the duckmobile!

triple rainbow! all the way across the sky!

heee. thank you for reposting dear ♥

Loved every bit of both stories. Really. I will miss all the weirdness (in the good way) of this story, Lucy's metaphors about life, Gwen and Tarquin, Scorpius and his ability to be awkward all the time and even Lettuce's sequins. And I loved the end, it wasn't the usual mixture of corniness and unrealitiness, it was perfect : )

Author's Response: thank you so much! heee, I did worry that the ending was a little corny, so I'm glad to hear you liked it ♥

Hello! I do say, New New Egin is very very intriguing~ I can't wait to see what you've got coming next from this excitingly deserted, over-tartaned place. :)

Author's Response: New New Elgin is intriguing and a bit frightening in equal measures. not sure I'd like to live thee, but Lucy and Scorpius are a bit bonkers and, well, each to their own.
