Oh. My. God.

I have no words. Well, I have many words, but none to describe how much I love this. Stillness and Constellations is one of my least favorite of my fics, but you've expanded on everything I wanted to say in that, and never quite managed - the importance of love and family even through the betrayals on all sides.

The reverse storytelling fits this piece very well, and love how it feels to spiral backwards, to where it all started for them. You worked so much of my personal canon in, and just - wow. I love the scene with Narcissa and Lucius, and the triage scene - fixing a plot hole I didn't even realize was there and capturing my view of Andromeda and the sheer brutality of war - superbly done.

I could not have asked for better.
