Reviews For Searching for Wellness
Your story is so very lived-in. I love the cultural weight you have managed to imbue conversation of vampires with without falling into exposition. Hagrid's inclusion was just delightful. I felt special, forgetting for a moment that this wasn't canon Hagrid finally speaking on my favorite subject! And oh my gosh, the Weasleys! What a fantastic idea to bring one of the twins down to earth as a gateway to Harry being a friend of the family despite his Slytherin status. And it's so rare that we see the twins allowed to show intellect outside of pranking. Thank you so much for sharing this story with us, I can't wait to dig deeper!
I will be following as I'm anxious to see Julian get well enough for his stomach to begin working and hope to see the GJ tube removed (sorry for an earlier comment showing my ignorance; we'd always heard it referred to as an IG tube for "internal" tube as opposed to an external feeding tube or NG tube)! I'm also interested in seeing if this new formula can be continued even if were to heal enough to "feed" normally. You've also got me very curious about his "attacker"(?). "Sire"? Why was Dumblef*** continue with his stupidity in light of Julian's complete inability to participate in the MOB's "tests" [games!]? Is he insane? I'll still follow this 'verse but I really *hope* that you're going to continue to "AU" this and *not* follow the "stations of the canon"; the series did not attempt to follow any kind of logic or use *any* form of critical thinking which I find beyond frustrating! By the extraordinary number of HPff found here, on LiveJournal, FFN, and AO3, and elsewhere, I'd say that a vast number of readers would agree!😁 I'm going to go see if you've got any of your "shorts" up. I'm following this on ffn, but I'm going to flip it to my favs now that I've read it here. Catch you later!🤗 MelJ
Our history has stories of children as young as 2 being condemned and murdered as "witches" merely for having a *birthmark*! What if that mindset still existed into modern times and any "mundane-born" child discovered to be magical was legally killed or quarantined in concentration-type camps! I was really disgusted with this whole concept of "Rowling's"! She presented the idea as 'this is just the way it is' and kids *grow into accepting it* and adults have no problem with these "warts" on this society! "Ooo, 'magic'!" and go on their way! Thank God for HPff where it's not unknown for these failings of the author and publisher to be addressed! "Julian" is so precious that I don't see how anyone could fail to fall in love with him! Well, except for Umbitch; she'd probably kill her own kid if he got "infected"! Thanks; you found another one of 'pet peeves' about the books! 😉 Next!😁 MelJ
I made sure that my kids had specialty-mixed meds when they had to have 'em; banana and strawberry cream were favorites as was one that was marshmallow. For some reason, my kids were constantly battling strep throat and ear infections! Wish I knew about zinc, D3, and HCQ when they were little, but despite that, they were extremely healthy! I was what *I* call an "earth mother": When I was pregnant with my first, I found a book called "Let's Have Healthy Children" by Adell Davis. It was a treasure trove of healthy eating and living. I never took the prenatals cuz the amount of iron can be toxic to the growing fetus, especially boys. I breastfed both my boys until they could hold a sippy cup and drink. Neither of them (10 year age difference) ever wore a "Pamper"; only cloth diapers with soft waterproof velcro covers. I never gave them commercial baby food either: Steamed veggies, fresh fruit, and whatever meat was for dinner. The baby food grinder was a Godsend! Believe it or not but providing for my boys the way I did was *cheaper* than what most "modern" parents do. The baby industry is making a killing off new parents and as with the homemade baby food, definitely healthier! My boys grew up loving Brussel sprouts (soccer balls), carrots (bats), peas (baseballs), broccoli (trees), and even liver. I had a blast raising my boys! I miss that! They're 38 and 28 now and have families of their own. Sorry, ya triggered me again! LOL! See ya!😁 MelJ
It's been a while since the series has been updated but I hope you're well! Stay safe during COVID. b25;
Author's Response: There is a sequel in the works, just hit a moment of writers block with it. I'd like to get at least halfway through writing it before I actually begin putting it out there. It is in progress though! |
