A Harmonian Way of Life

excellent story but why the hell would you post something with all the sentences and paragraphs so damn close together...I personally would be to embarrassed to do something that stupid!Author's response
I've posted on several different sites before now, and none of them had that problem. So, logic dictates that it's because of Ficwad.
And please, keep comments calling someone rampantly stupid to yourself. There's no point in telling me that, since I'll just ignore you.A Harmonian Way of Life

Molly is AU but good.
The smut ruined the story and/or vice-versa.
A tad silly at points.A Harmonian Way of Life

Kudos!A Harmonian Way of Life

Briliant story. It's nice to see a Molly Weasley who isn't either a manipulative, potion-dosing plotter or someone who thinks that children need to be wrapped in cotton-wool.Author's response
To be honest, I've written my share of evil bitch Molly, and potion wielding Molly. This is the first time I've ever written a nice Molly. The Molly as is implied in canon, but we don't really see. I still love stories where she's an evil, manipulative, potion-wielding bitch. They're just too fun to pass up.A Harmonian Way of Life

While the story was a little weak, and the sex was pretty bland, that was absolutely the best telling off of Ron I've ever read. Useless little bugger.
Kudos.A Harmonian Way of Life

I’m all for Weasley bashing, but to be honest, it’s very nice to see a motherly Molly. Her characterization was very sweet and I wished that JKR had gone down that path (I’m racking that up with the other dropped concepts she had).
For some reason, I’ve always thought of Hermione as being a dirty talker or getting turned on by dirty talk. It just seems to fit.
I would’ve liked to have heard what happened to Ron in the epilogue; to see how correct Harry’s assumption of Ron’s future would be.
Thanks for sharing

Personally, I reckon Hermione, when she takes off her shoes at the end of the day, turns into an absolute little minx (an impression really NOT helped by Emma Watson's performance, since she looks like she could be absolute filth under the right circumstances). I really could see timid little Hermione being a Peugeot... the ride of your life.A Harmonian Way of Life

Great Story, I think this is the first story I have ever read where Molly gets him to choose Hermione. Most storys have her as a HP/GW supporter going so far as to love potions and other controling substances. Great work in general just a little short, wish you would write a story to fill in the time skip.A Harmonian Way of Life

Just to echo the others, quite a novel and refreshing take on Molly. It actually caught me off guard.
The Ron-slap down was vivid but also believable. In canon, he had also argued without thinking and almost instantly regretted it. His approach to Hermione as an object was very much in character. And Harry, while angry, wasn't over the top. A subtle difference that a lot of Ron-bashing misses.
The smut was well done. And appreciated.
The only 'odd' thing was Snape. Yes he was a jerk, but he was a nice jerk. And a little too open (for his character) in explaining his dislike of Harry. But that is nothing more than a minor quibble.
All in all, a very fun, moving, and enjoyable story

boah,
that was pretty hot - and you it was the very best tirade I've ever heard (or read) - and the best of all - Ron was on the receiving end.....I always thought of him as a grateless git!!
....oh...and I love to read stories without typos or spelling and grammar mistakes - unfortunately there are not very much to find....
So thank you for a great story
