Oh, this is breathtaking. Your characterisations are marvellous, and the balance between the action and suspense and the story of a romance is just perfect. I love all the little details and nods to canon, like Poppy's cleanliness and tendency to nurture, and the story of how Amelia came to need the monocle. Most of all, though, I love your description of Amelia's job and how the war is fought - I am such a massive geek for the inner workings of the Ministry and the wizarding world in general. Brilliantly done.
