Reviews for Love Comes in Many Guises
The magical world is accepting of all kinds of love, if only that were true in the muggle world. Hopefully one day it will be recognised, that the human heart is big enough hold all kinds of love.
What a twisted and sordid tale, but good on Kingsley for keeping the press at bay
This is beautiful. I love the relationship between Narcissa and Kingsley (one of my favourite rare pairs), and I love your view of triad relationships - and it's my OT3 :)Wonderful story!

Oops. I totally missed responding in a more timely manner.Thank you!Yeah, it's my OT3 as well, and it was pretty much the only way I could portray them because for some reason, I no longer have the heart to kill Narcissa or show her as a villain...

What a beautifully written piece! I really liked the friendship between Narcissa and Kinglsey, and your descriptions are quite vivid. Well done! x

I love this. That is such an interesting new look at trios in the HP universe and inevitably makes me question the nature of the original trio. Also, how refreshing to find an interpretation of sexual customs in HP that's not Victorian and conservative to the point of stuffiness or over the top pr0ny! I also liked Narcissa's voice a lot. Haughty and diffident, but also gracious and generous. You struck just the right balance, I think.Last but not least, oh my, such lyrical descriptions! A sea of silk, a spring meadow ... and how perfectly Narcissa. Now I want to paint her with Kingsley at the ball ...

Thank you so much, Juno!I've never seen the magical world as conservative. Different, yes, and depending on the angle of viewing, some could be deemed conservative. But only from one angle. ;)May the Muse be with you and inspire you to pain that scene!

You 've portrayerd Narcissa brilliantly. Such class, intelligence, and love or Lucius. And Kingsley is adorable. I just want to smoosh him. :) And, yes, I made that word up!

Fabulous! I love the introspective tone, and I love the hints of the triad relationship as well as the relationship between Kingsley and Narcissa. What a lovely story to wake up to! Thank you! :D

Your special five will surely be pleased--lovely gift/work! Kingsley and Cissy pairing: Can we have some more, please? or (less politely) More, more, more!!! Mmmm... wonderful!
Response from karelia (Author of Love Comes in Many Guises)
Thanks so much, nag!Hm, Kingsley and Cissy... That's going to take some serious thinking. Love is one thing. Turning into a pairing. Hm... That's quite a challenge, lol. It may take me a while!
Response from nagandsev (Reviewer)
The love and friendship shown here is more than enough--just an impulsive, whimsical thought I had, not meant to be taken seriously--this one-shot is so inspirational and lovely, having a true friendship depicted between these two characters... I do believe it's the first time I've ever read a story with Kingsley and Narcissa having any level of interaction with meaning, so it's quite refreshing and a real treat for all! xx

Thank you for your kind words. At the same time, I really liked your "demand" because it presents a challenge. And I do like challenges *grins*
