faire Et se taire

With your marvelous writing style it would be soooooo fun and worth it

Have you ever given it any thought?

Ah thank you so much.

I haven’t thought about an 8th year a whole lot - but I think the hard row universe could use a Voldemort wins AU and an 8th year to really round it out- I just don’t know how I’d get there 😂

It’s one of my absolute favorites, and I genuinely don’t understand why more people aren’t talking about this masterpiece. Honestly, if you ever publish a book, can I start the fan club right now?

This fic found me at a really tough time in my life, and it helped me escape reality, even if just for a little while. I’ve already read it three times, and it’s officially my comfort fic.

I really hope you keep writing and sharing your amazing talent with us! 💜🌻

Ah wow. Thank you so much. I’m glad you found Hard Row when you did and I’m so happy it resonated with you/helped with distraction for a little while. And I hope things are going okay (or better yet, *well*), now.

What a wonderful thing to hear about something I wrote! Thank you for reaching out. And if I ever publish anything in a conventional sense, I’ll let you know ❤️

I just wanted to say I absolutely devoured your fic, and i can't wait to do a re read of it soon. It was so good and kept my focus throughout the whole story!!!!

I also wanted to ask your policy on binding it for only personal use?? Is it ok?

Can't wait for your next amazing fic! 🥰

Thank you so much ❤️

Personal bindings are alright with me!

Hello!

The saying itself I heard for the first time probably 10 or 15 years ago, but right before I was ready to post the first two chapters, I still didn’t have a title (which is quite unlike me). I was writing out some Healer Lethe dialogue in chapter three and she was talking about how something must’ve been difficult- and I had her say “well that’s a hard row to hoe indeed”… I stopped and thought - hmm… that would be pretty good.

I liked the rhyme and alliteration of it, and I thought it fit with Malfoy’s journey of redemption in particular.

So I changed what she said (I don’t love it when the title is hidden in the narrative haha) - searched the title to make sure another Dramione wasn’t named the same, and then went on my merry way!

The file on my computer is still named “gpb dm hg”, though, which (rather unromantically) stands for “Grosse Pointe Blank Draco Malfoy Hermione Granger”.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for reading Hard Row; it consumed a decent part of my 2024 and it feels really lovely to know that someone enjoyed it.
