FIC: Inevitable 30: Middle Ground

Aug 28, 2005 21:48

Inevitable 30: Middle Ground is up!

At TTH
(and if TTH is broken:)
At Pomme de Sang
At Skyehawke

In this chapter, I abandon all thoughts of subtlety in how this fic is going to go, and opt for the sledgehammer approach to storytelling. I like the way it turned out :P

Please, all comments are welcome.

story: inevitable

Very evil, but I like it. Sledgehammers are good, useful tools. ;)

I get that a lot. The evil, not the sledgehammer.

SQUEE! About to put nose to thesis-writing grindstone, but at least I go to it with a new chapter of Inevitable singing in my veins...(if that makes any sense at all)

Prophecies are always tricky, and usually self-fulfilling. It's good that Nathaniel's made Harry *think* about it for a minute.

(also, spelling catch: There are differences between Voldemort and me, big one)

Anything to facilitate thesis writing. I know how hard that can be. (Okay, I've heard from friends how hard that can be).

We will be returning to the prophecy a lot in future chapters. Fun times ahead.

I always thought the prophecy meant that in order to kill Voldemorte, Harry would have to die too. I see now that I'm not the only one to think it. I just hope it's not true hhehe. Is the next chapter going to be Anita and Dumbledore's conversation? Ooo and see now I'm thinking how is the last word of the story going to be "home" if Harry has to die. Hm....thinking.....Dammit I don't know. Your too good a writer for me to guess. Well anyway another great chapter.

The next chapter will be the Anita and Dumbledore conversation, yes. Although it's more of an Anita, Dumbledore and Richard conversation.

Our interpretation of the procphecy has gotten quite a boost from a plot device introduced in HBP. All I can say is poor, poor Harry.

Did I miss something? Please elaborate on this...

I loved the chapter. Although I sincerely hope that Harry doesn't need to die to vanquish Voldemort. But maybe that isn't necessary with him being part werewolf and part vampire? *wishfull look on face*

All I can say is that Harry's trip to St. Louis has given him a step up in surviving this whole mess ;D

Great chapter. It also makes me happy to wake up to Inevitable! I really love Harry's relationship with Nathaniel. Harry's already grown so much since he's been with Anita and company. He sees things now that he was too immature to notice before, like Nathaniel's relationship with Anita. (And I agree about sledgehammers. Sometimes subtlety just doesn't get it done.)

In school, all the relationships Harry sees are teenage ones, and the only healthy adult relationship he has seen is the Weasleys (very parental). Seeing a healthy adult relationship in someone he considers a friend (Nathaniel... did I really just call Anita and Nate's relationship healthy? Break out the ice skates) is a real eye opener for Harry. In this setting, he's the youngest of the bunch, and that's a very different sitution from Hogwarts. It's good for him.
