Title: Time On His Side
Rating: R (for adult themes)
Pairings: Viktor Krum/ Minerva McGonagall
Word Count: ~12,000
Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): *Character Death (kind of) *.
Summary: Minerva met Viktor when she was six and he was thirty-three. Viktor met Minerva when he was seventeen and she was sixty-nine. Somehow they make it work
Author's Notes: Inspired by Audrey Niffenegger's The Time Traveler's Wife. nimrod_9, this idea seemed to come to me out of nowhere, and ended up being a real struggle to write. With love to my beta, F, for making sure this made sense, walking the dog while I wrote and convincing me to stick to the ending that fit the piece. Many thanks also to bethbethbeth for her endless patience with my inability to get through the editing process.

I confess I am not a fan of The Time Traveler's Wife, and so I almost skipped over this one. What a mistake that would have been. You've done a fantastic job of letting the characterization drive the relationship rather than the narrative device; in spite of the causality at work, it genuinely feels like both Viktor and Min are making the choices that make sense for them at every point along the way. I love your supporting cast as well (particularly the Prewetts), and the twists involving Mara are incredibly clever. Well done.

	Thank you for giving it a chance. I didn't want it to just be fate that ties them together, so I'm glad their choices come through. Thank you also for the lovely comment ♥ (Reply to this) (Parent)
