I mostly avoid Albus/Gellert fic, because it (like Marauder fic) must by nature be melancholy. But I'm glad I was in a mood to try this one. It was beautifully written, and at the end, I want more--you have left me intrigued and wondering about Dumbledore and Grindelwald. And it's sad, yes, but also fulfilling--and I think ending with the canon scene with Erised and Harry was very nice. So kudos to you, and thank you for sharing with us.

God, I adore this. It took me forever to read because I knew that it would be genius, and I always save the best for last. But I think that this is absolutely brilliant and beautiful. I swear, Albus is my favorite character. Everything in this fic was so unexpected and thrilling.

I loved the beginning, with Albus and Gellert, and Ariana not dying. And then as they went on, the living in Prague and the ploitcal intrigue It was all so brilliant. And there were those little details, like how the statuary of Prague was used for magical defense, and the woman Le Strange (and the transfiguration of her arms into snakes was beyond amazing and so creepy ( ... )

OMG, thanks so, so very much for the lovely comments! I still don't quite know how I got from musing about Dumbledore's sock desire to this plot, but I'm so very glad you liked it ;).

And I'm really sorry for not friending you back for ages! I was absolutely sure I had, but today realised I hadn't, either on LJ or IJ... Bad Hijja!

Oh, it's totally okay on the friending. I like to wait before friending people back. And I'm glad that you liked my comments. I really have to thank you for writing this. It truly blew my mind.
