OMG... This is completely the way that it should have been. Albus, with his aspirations and dreams and potential, feeling ashamed of his family and reaching for more ... and Gellert is SO freaking PERFECT, there are NO WORDS. Seriously, no words! So perfect, omg! The use of Legilimency/Occlumency and Albus's TEAPOTS! *dies, omg, so perfect*
The language is SO BEAUTIFUL and I love the way that you use Oscar Wilde. All of the quotes, all of the descriptions ... The ending, OMG I love the ending, and ohhh, the way they fumble through their first time together ... *flailing too much* OMG, I'm sorry I can't be more coherent! *flails some more* <33333 Thank you so much, this is just so completely perfect!
