Thank you again for continuing to read this to the end and the feedback, truly appreciate it! I agree, it is a bit odd, and with these specific character-writing fests, it's always a challenge to explore the characters in a selected setting and complete the short fic by the deadline, so these two were definitely a challenge for me--and Luna's unusual pregnancy, twins and all, absolutely! Thanks again for giving this a chance!

Thank you so much for reading it all the way; it was written for a one-shot festival, and with the pairing and prompt situation, I was trying to find a suitable ending for an adult Luna whose path had crossed with Lucius', but have it end on a more upbeat, albeit, quirky note, etc. I had come across an article on unusual twinnings, and when researching Luna's future life with Scamander and having twins, this idea just wouldn't go away... I know, bizarre. So thank you again for taking a chance and reading, truly appreciate your time and feedback!

Thank you so much for reading, truly appreciate it! It means so much that you're giving this a read, not being your usual preference--thank you again for your time and feedback!

Thank you so much for reading and the feedback, truly appreciate it; especially knowing that the characters aren't your usual preferences, thanks again for taking the time and giving it a read!

Thank you so much for reading and the generous feedback; yes, absolutely, the take on Luna in this story is definitely as a nurturing Mother Goddess--I've always felt out of all the characters (okay, maybe Molly aside) that she's the one most in touch and at peace with the earth and universe, natural urges, and all magical creatures' place within the scheme of things, and wanted to explore Luna in this role more. Lucius carries the weight of patriarchy, not an easy burden for him to ease off from or disassociate with, seeming to be such an innate part of his identity. Thank you again for your comments, truly appreciate them!

Thank you so much,

, for the read and the feedback--truly appreciate it! So happy that you liked it, and I'm with you regarding the characters, they've been great to explore, especially together--thanks again!

Thank you so much,

, for reading and for the lovely feedback--truly appreciate it! So happy that you enjoyed it and the pairings--thank you again!

Oh, thank you so much for reading and the lovely feedback! I must confess, it was Luna's magical influence on me that had them all embrace what had happened and each other Where there is Luna, there shall be happiness!:-)Again, thank you, truly appreciate it--I'm honoured and so happy that you enjoyed this!

Thank you so much for reading and for the lovely feedback, Beth--truly appreciate it! So happy that you liked this scenario, and so happy that Luna came across as intended. Absolutely agree, Luna is a very rare and selfless creature, so much unconditional love and understanding; it was a wonderful experience to explore her in this story, and yes, 'in many ways she may even be the most magical creature of them all.'--again, absolutely!Thanks again!

Thank you so much for reading! Yes, a happy ending; by the end, I felt the happiness should be spread around and include Narcissa, joining in--it's Luna's affect on me. Thanks again, truly appreciate it!

, and for the kind feedback--truly appreciate it! I love it that this point about his immediate family stood out for you--when I started writing this for the LBB fest, the thought about Lucius, someone who seemed to have it all, lost it, was given a second chance/changed by someone outside his previous circle, but those around him, his immediate family members hadn't changed their perception and relations with him, some still unresolved, bitter issues, etc. They concentrated on reinventing their own lives, excluding him in the picture. I was hoping the realization of Luna's true care and love for him would help give him strength and resolve in life, as no one had given him before, in a positive way, etc. Okay, I'm babbling--just so happy that you gave this a read--thank you again!:-) 

Thank you so much for reading this,

Oh,

, thank you so much for reading this again and for your kind feedback--truly appreciate it! Lucius--heeeeee! When this Slytherin's dragon fire is awakened his 'scorching hot' (love this phrase!) passion does need to be releasedSo happy that you enjoyed him, and yes, I absolutely agree--he is incredibly lucky to have had Luna come into his life. I'm also so happy that you liked how Luna is portrayed here--I was trying to find the balance between an 'adult' Luna but still keeping some of her trademark essence--that lovely dreamy quality and sort of all-knowing and earthiness blended with celestial wisdom she seems to innately have, etc. Thank you again,

!:-)
