I have refrained from reviewing until I read all of Sunset and what's up of Sunrise. I discovered these stories three days ago. Needless to say, I've done little else. :)
Onto the review. For lack of a better word, these works are outstanding! This is the first work I've read in which the H/Hr ship is believable and well written. Most of the time it makes little sense as the stories seem to pick up wherever the latest book left and in 30 words or less try to turn it around. This normally leaves me with a headache and a desire to read no further.
I love your portrayal of all of the characters, especially Luna. In canon she's one of my favorites because she's so quirky and so misunderstood. It's nice to see people write her with some focus while still retaining her lovable quirks. :)
Ah yes, and I must thank you for giving Oliver Wood some much needed pentime. He and Charlie are generally overlooked characters in fanfic and even a passing mention makes me smile. What can I say, I have a soft spot for all ruthlessly devoted sports fans.
Keep up the good work and I can't WAIT for the next update!

I love your story, but re-check you facts.
The "Royal Regiment of Scotland" is only recently created, and absorbed the Black Watch as it's 3rd Batallion at that time.
At the time this story is laid, the Black Watch would still have been a Regiment in it's own right, and not part of the not-yet-existent Royal Regiment of Scotland.
Otherwise, keep on keepin on!

I loved the bit with Moody. This is really coming together, I'm addicted to your writing so I hope that you two keep on churning out more fics and stories.
The Goblins coming was great. I was looking forward to reading that bit. The Wizengamot reforming, if that turns into a mess for Harry he should visit the King (I'm assuming that's Charles now) and ask him to abolish it. That would be hilarious to see people like Amhar Coeur de Lion react to that bit of news.

I kinda hope Amhar tries to lead a coup against Amelia and Harry, so Harry can smack that racist idiot around. We just met the guy, and already he bugs me! About my previous review, I realized I was reading too much into it as soon as I posted the review. It was a case of it’s-2AM-I’ve-been-up-24-hours-but-I-must-finish-this-chapter!
And, of course us Bobs are a gifted lot! All hail the mighty Bob, in all his myriad incarnations!

This chapter expands on your genius and shows what especially gifted writers can do. It also shows that you have thoroughly thought out where you want this story to go and I applaud you on that. Please continue with this story that is easily the most enjoyable fanfic I have ever had the pleasure to read.
(Bob please stop torturing poor Alan, I don't like him as well but please give the poor man a break. <Feel free to torture Snape though.>)

Another great chapter guys, Keep up with this update time frame. I can see great battles comming soon. And Harry thought that he was going to stay out of the politcal side, I knew that he was going to have to get involved sometime and now is the time.
Thanks for writing

Some good news with the goblins (and tidbits of goblin society to boot), nailing down a future cash-flow source, watching AD sink further into madness, introducing another potential headache in the reforming Wizengamot, organizing the surviving guerilla groups in England . . . Lots of stuff in here.
Ahhh. Nippers is male. So much for romantic possibilities with Dobby (unless this is an elf-slash fic ;)

You know, if you left an address you actually would get pizza and donuts? Internet orders to your door, even from here in England ^_^

I can't wait until you start up the Wizengomet and shock those arrogant purebloods when Harry and his crew take their seats and the purebloods become the minority!

Wow! Dumbledore is an evil little git...I can't wait for that to come to a head. I love Mad-Eye, always have, you write him so well also. Your military terms seem spot on, adds such a grand scale of realism to your work. I can't wait for more! Thanks for addrssing my question...I knew you still cared for the little people. :P

Another great update. Yeah! I love the position you've given Moody and how everything is coming together. The Wizengamot worries me...I sense trouble. :-) I wonder what Harry's answer will be to Amelia's proposition. Please update soon???? I'm curious as to what happens next. Thanks for this update.

Hm... Stargate?
A great chapter once more I'm afraid... We need more of 'em. Now. Please?

Another great chapter you guys, you never disappoint, i love the Harry/Harmione converstations, and they so complement each other, Harry thinks about the war, Harmione thinks of the small stuff. and i do like the small things. and Moody gets into the war, love to see what happens when all the underground groups get together. I'll say this you're Draco/Luna pairing is the most unusual 'ship in HP fanfiction since Jeconis Harry/Pansy WK,GQ story, and take that as a complement, because it just unusual enough to work, and that's because the way you write your story. (love the joke Luna played on Harry)
Why do i have the feeling that the Wizgomat (sp)will be a bit of a thorn. and great seeing the Harry t-shirts again, love to see them more
Seems another part of the war is going, love to see what happens next. and Harry is slowly becoming what he really doesn't want a person in power, the old saying that ends with 'some have greatness thrust upon them' definately pertains to Harry this is good you guys. keep it up

A most enlivening installment; fortunately, one without bloodshed (which will grow more unlikely as the war progresses). I'm not sure which vignette in this chapter was the most enjoyable but I'd call it a toss up 'tween the dinner party and the scene at the very end of the chapter.
Hotel Sierra, you two.
