Ah, Guernica - this first chapter is such a triumph of your style, your unique wit, your ability to thrum your incredibly true-to-life erotic sensibilities and your astonishing skill at creating a scene so powerfully real that this reader is left gasping every single time it's read - and I read it often. This chapter is one of the finest, if not the finest, bits of writing I have ever read in the fandom and I appluad you heartily for your work. It is a dance, it is an aria, it is a poem, a masterful painting, it is just a sheer delight for every faculty of sensation. I LOVE THIS PIECE OF PROSE! Sigh...the red call box scene... Be well.

Unbelievable, just absolutely stunning work. Your visual description is impressive, you've cast your characters well and in such a short space I already see/feel them and want to know more, want to follow them. I cannot begin to imagine how you are going to tie this in with *clears throat* the HPVerse, but I will certainly await with baited breath. Why are you here??? This is a great original vampire bit and you should pursue the original aspect of it. Wow! Beautiful darkness.

Just brought to a place of sheer reading enjoyment. What control you have over your craft! Wildly visual and compelling - I can't wait for more, but feel I must parcel it out in small bits to make it last.

Again, just really wondrous descriptions and strong visuals. Nicely done. You've got a good mystery/intrigue working here and I'm anxious to see how diabolical it may prove to be. I could not help but feel sad at Minerva being duped...Nice scene at the staff dining table and very nice quarters bit with her sleeping away Snapian shadows.

This is very, very strong. Your Snape chapter, perhaps, being the strongest for emotional heft, but also for further intrigue of the reader. Have you, by any chance, read a fanfic titled A Dark Herbal? Curiosity and a deep enjoyment of your style is making me anxious for more!
Author's Response: I -loved- A Dark Herbal. I'd kill to see it finished. *g*
I'll probably post more tonight or tomorrow morning. It only gets worse from here, at least from August's point of view...

I have finally been able to grab the time necessary to catching up with your gorgeous fic. Wow! Your craft is so finely honed, so wondrously polished that to read is to lose oneself in the imagery you create. Your dialogue, your visuals, your characters, and your plot are all tools you have mastered to create this incredible bit of prose-art. Very, very nice.
If you were sorted into your House at 11, would that be that forever? Albus Dumbledore has a little chat with one of his oldest companions.

This is well done, clever, imaginative and realistic! What a great job you've done here in such a short space of prose. Lovely and thought-provoking! Of course, I don't agree that Our Man Albus is a Slytherin *snorts in a most unladylike manner* because, of course, we all know he is really a Ravenclaw. Ha!
Good job!
Author's Response: Hmmm...despite his obvious intelligence, that's the one house where I don't see Albus. Thanks! :)
A bit of introspective character study and some gratuitous smut between an unlikely couple. AD/NM

I am speechless with this piece. Utterly floored. Your Albus is everything he should be - powerful, yes, protective, yes, sexy, yes and yes, yes, yes WARM!!! But it is your Narcissa that really is an astonishing accomplishment - the beginning of the piece, with the introspection on cold and heat was just flawlessly beautiful, very thought-provoking and ultimately the most real interpretation I have ever read of this woman and Slytherin sensibilities. This fic is gorgeous!
The last day of Sirius's life, and he's trapped at Grimmauld Place with a bottle of firewhisky and unlimited leisure time. Childhood memories, visits from Order members, and thoughts on Harry, Prongs, Snivelly, Nym, Moony, Reggie, Mother, Kreacher, Buckbeak, Dumbledore, Bella, Andromeda, and more. And, in the end, the inevitable battle and the mysterious veil. (More sad and brooding than funny, despite the title.)

This is truly wonderful work - just an utterly plausible and very, very moving prose portrait of such an author-abused character. I'm blown away at how much detail and emotion you fit into compact sentences and short pieces of dialogue - incredibly well done! Thank you so much for caring enough about this character to present your readers with a glimpse into both that morning but also Black's headspace. *applauds*
Caught up in the war against Voldemort, desperate to protect her family and friends, Lily has to decide what is worth living - or dying - for. Character study with some background Lily/James.

Mmmmm...so sad, and made sadder yet because you've done such a brill job here. It's really a lovely piece of work and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Small touches, such as Lily's hands instinctively reaching for her belly...the boys together...just all wonderful. And the form you chose was perfect!
Author's Response: Thank you!
