Hey Liz! I'm just dropping by with a galazy review for you :)

 

I reemember reading 'Tell me who you are" a few years ago now. It was obviously an excellent story as it stuck in my mind and I'm excited to read this companion piece to see what it adds to the original. 

 

It must have been so strange for Dom not to remember Mark when he walked back into her life only moments after she'd had him wiped from her mind, but obviously his declaration of love must have been so heartfelt that she decided to get to know him (again). It could have gone terribly for Mark; Dom could have mistaken him for some kind of lunatic, haha!! Luckily it turned out well. And I love Dom's little joke to herself <3

 

I bet the Ross family were like 'wut?' at words such as muggles and aurors. No matter how careful everyone will have been, there were bound to have been some slip-ups. 

 

This is so sweet that Mark has taken her to the place where they first collided, and that proposal just melts my heart - it's adorable and perfect!! What a fabulous moment to complete the story - although I most definitely wouldn't say no to some more of Mark and Dom; they make such a great couple <3

 

Meera <3

Hey Liz, finally here with your review for the challenge (after like, 7 months). Okay, so I haven’t read The House of Stone or Tell Me Who You Are, but I figured it would be alright if I read this without having read your HOS stories (which I will hopefully get to eventually).

First of all I love your writing. I don’t know why I but I just love the way you write. 

I really like the parallels between Mark’s family and Dom’s. It’s fun to see because he’s a muggle(born) and she’s a wizard. But I liked how you touched on it without making a super huge deal out of it.

One thing that I’m confused about however… Did Dom obliviate Mark’s memories or the other way around?

Awwww I really like the idea of him recreating dates. And I especially love stories where couples ice skate.

AWWWWMIGOD that proposal was so cute.

Liz this was such a sweet and awesome story. Good luck (not that you need it!)

Author's Response:

I did not think about the possibility that you have not read TMWYA before I decided to enter this, hahahaha! You don't really need to know HoS as all that's really happened is I've referenced family unique to my AU. I'm glad you liked the proposal, it was super fun to write and a great start to the rest of this little series as soon as I get around to working on it. *ahem*

 

You confusion is well deserved! Mark is a Muggle. Not a Wizard at all. Since Dom has known Mark, he has been Obliviated three times. XD He's better now, though! And Dom HAS been Obliviated as well, buuuut you have to read TMWYA for the whole story because #spoilers.

 

I'm glad you enjoyed it even if it confused you. It was a fun challenge! <3
