The Fall of the House of Grabiner (Grabiner/PC Story)

#1 by Kira_A - Mar 31 2012

Okayyy so I've finally gotten the courage to post my PC/Grabiner story on ff.net. It ended up being pretty epic! I'm planning on posting a chapter every Monday, Wednesday and Friday... for maximum suspense, of course.

I'd love to hear what you think of it. Thanks for reading!

Love it! Just started reading it and it has inspired me deeply. I really like your plot twist, and I'm excited to read more.

The only problem I have is the teleportation thing. In Damien's storyline we see one lousy demon who's not even the most powerful in his class can teleport one girl to a far off location and then teleport her back. So the matter of fact ton threw me off a bit.

I like how you convince me of things with Grabiner. You really pull him off quite well, in ways I wouldn't write him. I'm always afraid to trample on his character, yet you do it fairly well and don't seem afraid like me XD;

Good work
I've been here so long even Hanako is sick of me

emichan

#12 by emichan - Apr 12 2012

damien took her to the lake, right? how far away is the lake? it definitely wasn't several hours drive.

so it still works i think.

anyway loving the story and hoping to see more!

Oki

#13 by Oki - Apr 12 2012

Even so, Damien is hardly a powerful magic user who has had years of experience and explicit knowledge of such a thing. Just seems silly to me.

Now that you say it, it seems a little strange I agree.


It's a great fic, I like the way you write each character, and the plot is really interesting. Waiting for the update. Continue with your excellent work.

Thanks so much everyone, I really appreciate the comments.

AshleyBoo, you are cracking me up. Smile

Oki, that is a great point about the teleportation. I'll have to replay Damien's thread and think about it a little more. Thanks for the advice and for the kind words.

Emichan and ElCantarde, thanks so much for taking the time to read and for the kind comments.

Don't know what to think of Grabby's father, part of me thinks he's charming and funny. Then he does or says something to freak me out Shocked
Still Aloysius thinking they were doing other stuff when they got married had me giggling.
Can't wait for the next chapter Cool

It's been awhile, finally got caught up Smile
The cold & flu is starting to go around here, was stuck in bed for awhile lol

Another kiss yayy Very Happy too bad it got interrupted!
Grabby's really going to have to talk about Violet with Eliza one day, but i have a feeling with him it could take a while.
Starting to worry about Potsdam, seems to me like Beardy is only interested in one part of her lol
Love Eliza & Mrs.Crafts friendship, nice to have someone come to the rescue at dinner time.
Giggled at Grabby getting bullied into being a host for dinner, something funny about him not always getting his way in the marriage.
Eagerly waiting for the next chapter!

#31 by Kira_A - May 5 2012

You have to wonder though where Potsdam keeps disappearing too, sneaking around with that Beardy i guess lol.
I miss Grabby when he's not in the chapter, but i've enjoyed the card reading!
Wouldn't mind getting it done myself Smile
Worried about that Empress card though, Eliza's too young to be having kids now!
I don't think Grabby would be too happy if that happened while she's still in school.

Kira_A

#33 by Kira_A - May 8 2012

Hi Ashley, I had a lot of fun with the card reading so I'm glad you liked it. It's based on a live reading I did for the story, believe it or not... I had to switch the order of a few cards to have it make sense with the story, but the most important cards (especially the knight of swords at the beginning and the Empress at the end) showed up as you see them in the narrative. Funny the way these things work out... but we'll just have to see how they fit into the story as it continues!

And speaking of which, here is Chapter 17.

Maybe Eliza should be careful wondering off on her own.

As excellent as always but I think the same, Lord Montague really freaked me out! I look forward to reading more of it!

Well she's okay for now, i'm worried at the thought of her going into the Otherworld alone. Hopefully Potsdam comes back and they can team up or something Very Happy
Mr. Currie being a manus, never saw that coming though.
I figured Grabby's father was involved in this somehow, he was starting to act creepy.

Kira_A

Well, we're not sure what Mr. Currie is, but he isn't a manus... and he'll get very offended if you call him one, so look out! Shocked

Getting worried about Grabby after getting hit, not sure how Eliza's going to win against his father.

LadyGothika, that's so nice of you to say. My dream is to write YA novels, so who knows, maybe someday...

Thanks ElCantardela! I am really glad you are enjoying the story.

AshleyBoo, thanks for the nice words about Mrs. Craft and Beardy... it really was a wrench. Crying or Very sad But if there were ever a death match between Mr. Currie and you, I'd bet on you.

Grabby's Daddy just keeps getting worser, i'm not even going to believe some of the things he said. I think he's just trying to upset Eliza!
Can't believe Potsdam would be against them like that, i wouldn't be surprised if she tried to get them together but i don't believe it was for money. She does seem to like the two of them together.
It looks bad bad for Grabby & Eliza but i'm hoping they'll figure some way to beat Lord Montague.

#47 by marithlizard - May 18 2012

Just read all the chapters at one go, and it was worth staying up late for. :) Thank you for sharing! You're a very talented writer.

I do appreciate the references and parallels to other stories, and that you've made them resonate without being too heavy-handed. Is "Eliza" a nod to Pygmalion/My Fair Lady as well?

Kira_A

#48 by Kira_A - May 19 2012

Thanks again everyone. It's been a tough week but your comments have cheered me up. Very Happy

ElCantardela & AshleyBoo--yes Lord Montague has turned into a very nasty customer hasn't he? Thanks for the comments!

marithlizard, thanks for staying up late to read! I'm glad you are enjoying it. I took the name "Eliza Moon" from one of my favorite YA novels growing up, The Facts and Fictions of Minna Pratt by Patricia Maclachlan... the title character uses the name as pseudonym in a letter, and I always thought it would be a perfect name for a witch. It does have a lovely built-in Pygmalion reference, and I know you caught Hieronymous's reference to that in Chapter 5. (I don't think he approves of My Fair Lady, but I sure do.)

But what's going to happen to Eliza now? Please read Chapter 22 to find out! http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7973174/22/The_Fall_of_the_House_of_Grabiner

Worried now, maybe she'll stop Lord Montague with help from the rest of people he stole souls from.
Don't know what she'll do afterwards, hopefully there's something that can be done to help her.

I had faith that Potsdam was good and would help them somehow Smile
It's a good thing Grabby had no magic left, he's definitely mad at her!
Felt kind of bad that he just quit lol
Worried what happened to him & Eliza now, he should have rested some before trying to leave.
I guess Potsdam to the rescue once more Laughing

I thought for sure I knew who was screaming at the end of the last chapter, but no! The Professor was too sensible to take them back to the town house.

"piglet" is really an ominous endearment coming from Professor Potsdam. In fact all the baby animal references are just not as cute as they used to be. Eeeeeeeeeeee. :)

Kind of hope Grabiner goes back to teaching, seems like a really stressful job he has now.
Wonder what Potsdam wants, can't wait for the next chapter Smile

Haha marith, I sort of wish it had been poor Julie, but I think that might have been a bit too scary for her... and there's a lot to do back in Northumberland before they can return to London.

Ashley, I agree, this is a lot of stress... but unfortunately it has to be done.

Thanks for the comments, and thanks for reading.

Here is Chapter 25: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7973174/25/

Nice seeing Potsdam back! hope she never changes Very Happy
Guess we have our proof now that she played matchmaker with Eliza & Grabby lol
Hoping to see a Tabby & Eliza friendship in the future Smile
I think Eliza should go back to school and atleast finish, but i'm going to miss her & Grabiner spending time together at the house.

Somehow I get the feeling that Professor Potsdam will never, ever change, AshleyBoo.

But we will see what Eliza decides in Chapter 26: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7973174/26/The_Fall_of_the_House_of_Grabiner

Thanks for reading, as always!

That was really sweet. I loved both the scene with Tabby last chapter and the conversation in this one.

It's the right choice for her to make, but what a long time to wait for more kisses! I hope he'll find a new career that he really enjoys in the meantime. Eliza won't have any trouble filling up her time.

I agree, it was a really sweet and adorable chapter. As always, beautifully written. But I wouldn't like them to be so distant from each other Sad

Thanks for the comments Marith, ElCantardela and Ashley, I'm glad you enjoyed that one.

And now here is the last chapter, Chapter 27. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7973174/27/The_Fall_of_the_House_of_Grabiner

Thanks to everyone who read and commented! And thanks to Hanako for the excellent game and for encouraging fan work - it has been a lot of fun.

Anyway, time to go figure out how not to die a thousand deaths in Long Live the Queen... Sigh.

The End.

Hope you continue to write more Magical Diary Fics Smile

Owww why did it have to end? But it was a great story. Hope you write something else about MD or another game (:

Sniff! I really enjoyed this. You captured the characters very well, and though I was pretty sure what Eliza would decide and that it was the right choice, one can't help feel bad for them having to spend the next year or two apart.

Thanks! Let us know if you write more fic!

BRAVO BRAVO!! i stayed up all night reading this(which is a big deal for me, i wont elaborate more other then the fact that it is very unusual for me to do so) ive read quite a few fanfics(this being the first for MD) and this was wonderful! after reading the last chapter i began clapping and then realized how strange it was to be doing that for a story on the computer... i will admit my interest wavered during the drawn out battle of wits and i was tempted to skip to the last chapter and see how it ended but im glad i didn't for a few reasons. Reason 1: i would have been totally and utterly confused at how things had unfolded into that state and 2: i would have missed out on more of your wonderful writing! im sure i could think of more flattering things to say but ill stop here as i can see ive already written quite a bit. i will say that reading this has reignited a fire in me for writing fanfics. i think i shall attempt to restart one i had previously started on Fatal Hearts, but in a completely different direction then i had first intended. i will FINALLY stop my self from talking by saying this: Thank you for a WONDERFUL story. Smile

Oh joy so (on one of my playthroughs) my father in law (well he is not really a 'father' is he? More like a he she) is a murderer, great! Anyway this was an amazingly detailed and well thought out. I know it may not mean much, but I approve! Wink

Can I just state, that this story was absolutely SO well done.

I only just came across it a week ago, and had it read and looking for more.
Perhaps a sequel to the story. a "four years later" kind of scenario? Very Happy

Thank you for writing a story SO well done. If your hopes to become a YA are sincere, I would like to be a first of many to congratulate you on that path, as I can see no other alternative but a resounding yes if you follow through with that choice Smile
