I love it. I wonder how many of us know the book and can see how wonderfully you've switched POVs? It should be possible to enchant a pooka, shouldn't it?

Thank you! :)

I was trying to make it end with the feeling that Alec was in horrible danger, but I think instead it ended with the feeling that Alec just got the creepiest pet ever ... lol. Even in fanfic, you cannot make The Black want to hurt Alec. It is impossible. ♥

Well, I didn't know for sure that it would be Alec in your version, so I was pretty scared for the boy. But once I knew... yeah. Even in canon, the Black could have let Alec die half a dozen times the first day.

Also, Alec pretty. I think I read it young enough to be merely annoyed by Alec being a boy and not a girl like me.

Lol. I never started reading them until after I watched the movies, so I was already firmly in love with Alec. I don't even think I was in that crushes-on-boys phase yet, but I loved him.

Back in the day Walter Farley was required reading (socially, not by schools!) in 6th grade...are kids still reading them? (This was not something I ever expected to see fanfic on - and it's AWESOME!)

[tahirire]

I have nooooo idea, being that I don't know many kids. But I still have mine, so if I ever have a kid, MY kid will. :)

Thank you!

Both of mine are now into Warrior Cats. The girl has always loved stories, but the boy was all about the nonfiction until now. Next, who knows?

Ooooooooooooooh.
I love the pooka=horse *so* much more than 'giant, invisible rabbit'.

Gorgeous, lovely stuff. :)

[tahirire]

Thank you! I may never quite watch the movies the same way again, lol.

That was... weird and wonderful, and very you. :)
