God what a way to end it! I have been waiting and waiting for them to be in the same place again and now that they finally are you leave us with them both practically dead! and now we have to wait a month before you post more?!? How cruel!
Needless to say, I really like this story. At times it is a bit confusing and complex but I love your characterizations of Harry and Draco and I certainly love them together, their interactions are priceless. Perfectly snarky at times and then heartbreakingly tender at others. I eagerly anticipate reading more!

I like your story. The dynamics of the relationship astound me. You have created a finely wrought universe that is fun to explore. Every chapter you have managed to catch and hold my attention. There's one thing that irritates me, and that is Draco's crippled powers. I just hope there were more fics where Draco is distinctly more powerful than Harry. Only "The Serpents's clan" and "Spell master come to mind.


I feel that the combination of a more intriguing Draco and your universe would be fantastic. Sure, Harry is the Heir, but couldn't there be another magical being (namely Draco) that is not the Heir of powers, but is imbued by them in the present?

I also like that there is little Dumbledore, Ron and Hermione in your fic. Frankly I find them obnoxious and overbearing at best. The twins' character is precisely described and much more interesting than in the books.

That collar thingy really pisses me off. it seems you get off on hurting Draco and depriving him of his powers while making Potter a god.

I think it's a very flawed approach. it would work even better if they had approximately the same power.

There's also a glaring continuity error in your fic that simply destroys the ability to suspend disbelief. Earlier you had Potter stumble on Draco while he was with McNair and saving him. It seemed Potter was going to his house and obviously Draco saw him and talked to him.


In this chapter you make it as if Draco is terribly surprised that Potter is there, which cannot be, because according to you he saw him before. Also it seems Draco owns Grimmauld, but then, why was Potter going there?

Yay! I read this way back before AFF went wonky with newness, and I loved it then. I'm fascinated with the mythology you've added to the Potterverse. And I am so bouncing with curiosity on what you're about to reveal. And Neville!!! *squee* And the cuteness that is Blaise. You have great characterization, and the energy of the scenes is absolutely buzzing with the emotions. You're on my favorites list, and I'll definitely keep an eye open for updates.

Thank you so much for this work of art.

I have been avidly reading your story and looking through you Deviant Art pictures. They are all great. I wish I could draw like that. Anyways, getting to the story. I love it. The extra characters are well developed as is the religion and history of the Gods. You have a great imaginatioin. I hope to see another chapter soon. You have me on the edge of my seet.

The mailing list chapter was great! Blaise was hilariously cute. And Harry asking for Draco's shirt was sweet. Thanks for letting us know where to find the new chap since AFF is 'down'. Update soon! =o)
