\o/ for the creation of the Pensieve! I freaking LOVE this, regardless of whether you think it's crap. What a PERFECT reason for its invention. It makes SO much sense!

*is now itching to go searching in the HP books now to see how the movie version differs from the book version*

Crap! I totally forgot to credit you with the idea!! I shall rectify that immediately.

Thanks, hun. I have such an incredible headache right now it's hard not to feel like I failed on this one <3

The mercury-look to the memories is an invention of the movies I think. In the books, the memory strands were described as being neither gas nor liquid.

Well, it made the "silver" prompt work, so all's fine by me! And thanks for the credit, although I wasn't worried about it. <3

This is a fantastic way for Merlin to relieve the burden of lifetimes lived, memories choking out the present.
