Prompt/Prompt Author: I'd love to see a detective story with those two. Good cop/bad cop, cop who hasn't got her private life sorted out/cop who hasn't got a private life to sort out, cop/intrepid private investigator who answers to nobody ... I think there are great possibilities for friendship dynamics between those two. / tetleythesecond

Captivating!
Imho Amelia is not going to hear the answer she wants to hear, given that she is already married to her work.... and naturally she has no idea that this "case" will be the one too big to get out of alive :-( .... but jumping into the moment when she still does with the help of your story is, what makes it so captivating.

I am so, so glad you enjoyed this. Pomona and Amelia are such an interesting pair, and I think I'm going to be writing much more about them. I like writing snippets like this because even when you know they're all doomed, you can still have hope for a moment.

Unfortunately I can sympathise with how immersed one can be in one's work to forget what is really important in life... I love Ams and Moddy's banter, and the ending of course.

[liliths_requiem]

Thank you :) Amelia and Moody's banter is my favorite part as well.

And I can sympathize too. That's why I made Amellia get her head out of her arse eventually.

This is just the sort of story I'd hoped to see from this prompt. The professional teamwork is great; I love the banter, the relationship between Amelia and Moody (and all the boys), the fun hints of their complex lives outside the Job. I like the personal details, too, especially the intriguing notion of a Pomona who wants an open relationship. You do a great job with the early days of sinister, still-handsome Voldemort, with the details of "pureblood" society, and with the characterizations in general. My only complaint is that this fic is not at least twice as long! /g/

I promise to write more as soon as I have time. I'm so glad that you liked this. I think the loyalty of Hufflepuffs makes everyone think they can't do open relationships, but I think it's possible. And I'll hopefully expand upon that some day.

Thank you so much!

Supberly handled.

And eminently re-readable.

[liliths_requiem]

Thank you!

Please re-read as many times as you'd like.

I'm a big fan of First War fic, and I really enjoyed the way you approached the early days here. How did anyone even know Voldemort was on the rise, after all? I appreciated the piecing-together quality of fic, the way Amelia's discoveries add up to something recognizably more sinister than just another "case."

Had no idea that JKR had spelled out the "Sacred Twenty-Eight." Interesting.

In any case, a great buddy-cop fic with a vibrant supporting cast. Enjoyed enormously! M.

Thank you so much. I'm really glad you enjoyed it, as I've been reading your fic for years. I think the Sacred Twenty-Eight has endless potential, and I'm planning to dive into that.
