Well, I dunno about the fic stomping cities flat with its immense feet, but it certainly stomped me flat with its immense scale and how awesome it is! Intricate plot but so very passionate - I think I love that about your work most of all - the intense passionate language and the way you never go at anything half-hearted. When you have your characters do something it's always vibrant with stunning imagery that makes them come alive. You deal with them with such care and love that it takes my breath away every time I read something you've written. Your Draco is amazing and I love how vulnerable you make him but how strong he is under everything. I adore your Harry and how despite himself he just can't help doing the right thing.

I loved how you didn't skimp on words and leave out all the other characters and their journeys, too, because it really fleshed out the desperation that everyone felt when the children were missing.

Just a wonderful, wonderful rich and imaginative story, told by a master story teller. Thank you so much, lovely, for sharing this with us.

Gah, you say "intricate plot"... It just about flattened ME. Hahahaha! I was thinking that I'd bitten off way more than I could chew...

the way you never go at anything half-hearted

Thank you so much! This means a lot- a LOT- to me. I really appreciate this statement.

Oh, I am so relieved that you liked this aspect. I was a little afeared that it would take away from the H/D of the story, but when I considered leaving it all out, it just seemed like there would be these huge holes in the plot. I'm so glad you liked the other characters.

Thank you so much for such a nice comment! ^__^ *hugs*
