Gosh, this is heartbreaking! I love the tone of what could have been. She has a nice life with Ron, it seems, but, perhaps, wonders about that happy, easy life with Seamus. I’m so glad to have stumbled across your work!

I just stumbled upon this beautiful story. I absolutely loved it! I haven't read any Seamus/Hermione stories but now I feel like I need more.

This is wonderful. I loved your sshg stories first, but this is sublime and sad. The span of time - over a century - adds a poignancy all of its own to Hermione's final realisation. To her a reminder from a hundred years ago, to him a lifetime of loss.

I love this so much wow

Did I never leave a review on this story?! I'm ashamed of myself. It's gripping and beautiful, and since I hadn't read it in a long while it was able to really hit so hard... I need a pause for everything before I even know what to say.
You have a way of conveying emotions with words that resound exactly the way emotions do and evoke so much in so little. There are so many little things in this story, habits, quirks and small descriptions that show just how much Hermione cares. I don't know what else there is to say, my words have gone. I'm sure you know, though, and you're grand at making me feel random things that I can't at all describe, but that your writing sings without explicit words, like humming.

Hey, I'm adding to the review here.

So, first I'll point out a few specific things I liked:
[Forever twenty-two, Seamus shone in her mind, and wordlessly she saluted him in farewell.] I like this line a lot, especially "forever twenty-two". From what I've read, I haven't seen much of that phrasing about people that the main character used to know, but I like it a lot. It's striking, concise, and gets the point across. I also like the fact that you surrounded this one-sentence paragraph with longer paragraphs. It really stood out to me, both in wording and literally on the screen.
I like the second half of the piece more than the first, since you go into more detail and expand on your paragraphs. The beginning contained a few ambiguous, choppy paragraphs, but you did a great job fixing it in the second half.
One thing: towards the end, sans the last three paragraphs, you use pretty much the same sentence structure for the opening sentences. I know this is nitpicky, but it kind of stood out to me while reading it. This is just my two cents, but I'd recommend mixing it up a little.

Hey!
I never did get around to reading Harry Potter, but I do know a teeny bit about it. But for all intents and purposes, I'm fandom-blind.
Thoughts in order of appearance.
I know this is unrelated, but I love the "-ooOoo"- in the beginning. It looked surprisingly elegant to me!
[They had met again, of course, but it had been in public and Hermione couldn't even remember what they had talked about. Nothing of importance; everything that mattered had already been said, and only empty phrases remained.] Semicolons are designed for connecting two complete sentences, not a phrase and a sentence. This happens a few times; I'd recommend taking a look and seeing what I mean. If you noticed from the last sentence of this review, semicolons can connect sentences of all lengths.
I really like the first collection of short paragraphs contrasting Hermione/Ron with Hermione/Seamus. It was clear, well-written, and comprehensive! Although, I have one small suggestion - 13 of your first 14 paragraphs are either 1 or 2 lines. I'd recommend combining some of those, particularly some of the short paragraphs towards the end of the string.
Maybe a little more elaboration on Hermione's and Seamus's first kiss? I felt as though it could've been elaborated on a little. However, I do also like the memoir-style writing you utilized with less descriptive but more substantial paragraphs.
And I'm not sure about this, but whenever I get sunburned, the flakes peel off in a large quantity of small flakes, not large flakes. Even though the burn covered a lot of skin, it was all in small flakes. I'm not 100% sure this is true for all people, though, so use your judgement on this.
Mr should be Mr. (with the dot).
Beautiful passage about the end of Hermione/Seamus. Although her thoughts of Ron coming back up were a bit quick in my opinion, this section as a whole was very solid. I did notice a lot of short paragraphs, once again-but it's no big deal.
I liked the ending! I think it perfectly summed up what you wrote throughout the story; memories of Seamus. I think the regret was a tad bit over-the-top, but I can see why you like it here.
Very beautiful one-shot! I hope I didn't come across as too harsh, since you've done a wonderful job constructing a solid one-shot. I wish you the very best of luck in your future writing endeavors!

Oh my god! This was heart-wrenching! I've never read a Hermione/Seamus story and this was just beautiful. I fell in love with their little summer romance and just how easy going it is. Their little interactions seem very believable, which definitely show that this pairing could work, if only for a brief moment. It's sad to see that in the end, Hermione couldn't shake Ron from her mind when she had a good thing in front of her.
It's also said about the span of time. You surprised me with the ending when I found out that most of these people are 100 years and some have sadly died already. Definitely shocking/scary. You did a great job with this. Poor Seamus who died without ever marrying.

Why? That last sentence was just cruel! And the fact that she 'hadn't thought of him in a long time' while he seemed to never have gotten over her, not enough to get himself a new family... Cruel! And somehow heart-breakingly sweet.
I think it's also sweet how you described their getting together: much more natural than she's ever been with Ron. And makes me ask, why he didn't fight for her... Great and sad!
I've never read that pairing before, still you had me rooting for them.

Aaaaand my heart's broken. As I was reading I found myself really curious to see how you would bring Hermione and Seamus together and then have them break up. The way you had them break up was particularly creative yet fitting in its simplicity (and nicely brought them back to a canon pairing). I particularly loved the description about Hermione sitting in his apartment eating cereal with his milk; it immediately made me assume they were in that just out of school wait-what-when-did-I-enter-the-real-world phase that I'm relatively familiar with, as someone who was 22 not too long ago.

Only concrit I have is there were a couple of places where you used semi-colons to connect two phrases that weren't complete sentences (meaning it should be a comma instead of a semi-colon, to my understanding.)

Anyway, you did a great job painting Hermione and Seamus's relationship, especially how it was sort of just a short summer relationship but simultaneously so much more than that (especially as shown by the ending sentences).

I've never read a Hermione/Seamus fic before - I can't really visualise them in my head but this story makes it very easy to! I love your clean style of writing and your grammar is excellent. I especially love your use of metaphors in this, you have a wonderful way with words.

Hello there! Xcite from the story review game. Note: I'm a huge Harry Potter fan. It's not fandom blind.
First off this kind of pairing's not my stuff, but I can't blame you for it :) Different tastes, I guess.

This story is very well written. I like how you have played with the words and at times created paradoxes such as 'empty phrases'. That one caught my eye really well.

The explanation of the relationship was very detailed and nicely done, like you had softened all the edges smoothly to fit the story; how it all started, how they were with each other, and why they broke up. Nice. I also enjoyed the usage of the weather to explain their love for each other. I see what you did there :)

The comparison between Ron and Hermione's relationship and hers with Seamus was something new; it explained why she 'belonged' to Ron all the time. Eight years of friendship really is more worth than a love given easily ;)
The story had a nice and smooth flow. Very well written.

These were the pros. Although I couldn't really find a lot of cons or things to put out, there still are two mistakes to point out:
Not pretty sure about this but I think "...offer her milk when she'd run out [of]" is better. You know...Run out 'of' something. Yet, I might be wrong.
I also think in the sequence where you explain the two's relationship, the part where it was written that Hermione and Seamus were almost caught having sex was a bit out of place. It doesn't seem right there, as I think it kind of breaks the unity of the two or three paragraphs.

Overall, very heart breaking end. Tragedy's not my type but you did a great job on it as you explained everything very well. It got even more saddening when you reminded not many members of the DA were left... and they would only attend each other's funerals. It makes me cringe to think of such a thing; many people ( like me) love to imagine the heroes always young, but the undying truth that they all will die at some point really is upsetting, and that's what makes this fiction a great tragedy.

Great job on this. It was a chance to learn a thing or two while reviewing, too. :)
Cheers!

I normally have trouble getting into stories like these, but I really liked this one! I liked how we were able to see Hermione's memories of Seamus, and how it circled back to the present in the end. That was a nice flow. The descriptions were nice, and I thought the whole story had a nice flow. I didn't spot any spelling or grammar errors. I think this was the first time I've read a Seamus/Hermione fic. I was hoping that they would end up together in the end, even though I knew not to expect that since Hermione was reading his obituary at the beginning. Good job!

"The death has occurred of" is a strange word order that doesn't read well. Other than that, your spelling and grammar are good.

This was an interesting look at a relationship that could have been. I like the way you contrast her brief relationship with Seamus in the past to her present relationship with Ron many years later at the end of the fic.

Annnnddddd there's a flood on my pillow. Thanks for that broken heart! But honestly, it was lovely. What beautiful writing and I kind of love this strange pairing...
