Hello,

Uh, man, this is awkward, but I happened upon "Thirty-Five Owls" recently and...well, it made me cry. I mean, like, literally. Tears and snot and god knows what else. It's THAT good. Good in a way that I can't even articulate properly. I just love the layers of communication between Gellert and Albus, the way the former falls into poetic memory and the latter refuses to face his own feelings. The sheer tragic beauty of it was astounding; the way you captured their voices, masterful. Also, I will not be able to look at a lemon drop without bursting into undignified sobs from now on. Thanks for that.

...I have to say Gellert was my favorite aspect of the whole thing. His humor, his poetry--no wonder Albus fell for him. I sort of did, even knowing what he'd done and what he'd become.

So, yeah. I just don't like reading a fic like that without expressing my appreciation. Thank you for sharing it.
