I am glad you enjoyed it so much despite not being big on interview characters. I know quite a few people who are not into nextgen at all (but it's kinda where all my stories live nowadays.).
I've got a thing for dysfunction, I must admit. :) Also I think Louis was probably one of my favorite characters to write in this. Mostly because I love the idea of he and Teddy loathing one another while still existing together with one thought always deep in their mind: Dominique. I imagine Victoire loved her sister and I know Fleur must have--but I couldn't see Dominique forgiving them, she was always much too stubborn and proud and more than a little out of control. If Teddy'd been more open maybe she wouldn't have been so extreme. Hindsight on his part I suppose.
ANYWAYS. I was quite fond of the people in Teddy's lives as well--and how quickly they take to Toby. In my mind they knew as well as Teddy did; kindred to them and they could just tell. I'll chalk it up to intuition and magic. ;) Toby is that light in Teddy and Dominique's darkness and I think in a way he bonded more than just them together--by doing nothing particularly fantastic at all, other than being himself. He was rather fun to write.
Sorry I tend to ramble when excited. This comment has filled me to bursting with happiness and I thank you again. :D
