Wow! What a captivating, marvelous story! You write Antonin beautifully, made him into a complex, believable and interesting character who I was ROOTING FOR by the end. The oh so tragic end. And Filius. *sighs* He was just as he was in canon, bright and kind and yet flawed. It was a brilliant move on your part to have it be Filius' decision that tipped him over the edge, sending him careening into darkness. Fabulous job! Loved this. :)
