Oh gods, right in the feels as always. Written well, thoroughly engaging and as it has been forever, timed down to perfection. I was so certain the Masked Lady was Marian and the twist that it was Andromeda was freaking perfect!

Never stop writing. This is one of your older stories, but, even then, you were a superb writer. ^_____^ The story was wonderfully written and had ...awesome character development. I love the progression of Harry and Draco's relationship the most, though. The thouroughness, time, uncertainty... And even though it /was/ sad for me to read about the alternate world, I'm glad everything wasn't perfect and that the character's choices could be bad for them as well as good. I never would have guessed Andromeda (damnnit! and clever Narcissa, using that spell) to be the Masked Lady, although I must admit I'm still curious as to how she tamed the dragons. :] Overall, fantastic read.

Absolutely amazing. That was seriously in depth and complex. I don't think that I've read a story like that one here before. But I loved it so congrats and much love =)

Lomonaaeren,


First off, please let me say that I'm a huge fan of your works. Your way of weaving a story is complex and compelling, and thoroughly entertaining. I always find myself enthralled with the story, completely at the mercy of your words and the plot you've created. In fact, I've become such a fan that I've recommended your works to friends who enjoy Potter fanfictions (as well as posted links directly to your stories on my potter rpg board that's still underway).

That aside, when I read the summary of I Give You a Wonderous Mirror, I was a bit set back about it. I wasn't certain that I'd enjoy it as much as say, What Shakes The Elephant, Building With Wornout Tools and your other works. I'd hesitated on it, to be honest.

I'm glad that on this night, when my insomnia hit me as it usually does when I'm stressed and turn my days into nights, and nights into days, I decided to gamble.

I *loved* this story. It's got such a unique plot, completely and utterly fascinating, and the idea of the marriage vows vs. the life debts was just brilliant. I feel so sad when I think of the Harry and Draco living separate lives without that connection between them - to me it seems as if they're simply denying themselves air the breathe just to make others happy, which is a terrible, terrible thing when you think about it.

The ancient ancestors were amazing, I loved the concept and it was enthralling (the battle) and Andromeda! She blew my mind! I couldn't believe it. It simply floored me. I pitied her so badly and that's one thing that makes a good, fantastic story. The best villain's are usually ones you can commiserate with, and always have that spark of humanity that makes them comparable to yourself. The best villains are flawed, just like the best heroes are human and flawed.

Also, another thing that simply held my attention (probably longer than it should have) was the fact that Ron was by far more accepting of the relationship and love between Harry and Draco, than Hermione was (...is...whichever world they were in). I felt so horrible, absolutely horrible when Harry euthanized George. Such a heavy weight that had to have been.

I'm exceedingly glad that I took the gamble on this story, as I was (yet again) trapped in the web you weave so seamlessly it seems, and gripped tightly in the strands of the story. Fabulous work, dear.
