What seems to Dumbledore as narrator turning out to be Voldemort is one of the things that makes this fic. It's a tricky theme to write on: there have been many attempts to write about why Lucius or Peter became Death Eaters, but this succeeds much better than most. Well done.

So dark, so logical. It's like unfolding a paper snowflake. I feel like you helped me to understand Voldemort in a whole new way.

There is no crappiness here, my dear mouse. OK it took me two or three reads to catch the finer points. (My brain is also mush at this time of day.) Excellent observations on what each of the charaters most desires.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it, Lady Whitehart. Thanks so much for taking the time to tell me what you thought of it. :)

Mixed impression...
On one hand, it was very interesting, thought-provoking and generally, gave me thrills. On the other - sometimes it wasn't as readable as I could wish for it to be. I wasn't sure who was the narrator (first I thought it was Voldemort, then Dumbledore, then I wasn't sure...) and it made reading less pleasant. But it was still great. And the metaphore was very imaginative... Obviously, I agree with the observations about love-need to be loved. And the whole "who really does not get love" theme...

Author's Response: *hugs Novinha* And I don't deserve it, but I do appreciate it! :-D
I agree that this is not one of my better stories, and that it isn't as readable as some have been. My apologies! And thank you so much for being honest enough to say what you didn't like as well as what you liked - concrit is something I really value! You're helping me to become a better writer, and I really appreciate that.
I was trying to make the reader think the narrator was Dumbledore first and Voldemort second, but it sounds like I just made it all confusing. Oh dear! I'll be more careful next time. I am glad to hear you liked the general idea - but I agree with you that the execution was a bit weak in this story.
*hugs Novinha again, just because she's great!*
