As excellent the second time as it was the first, Meri. The paradox was genius, and I held my breath at so many places in the story, waiting for 'worlds' to collide. My favorite parts were watching certain characters grow up, through Harry's eyes (don't want to give too much away here), the mentor relationship, the unfurling of your shining example of how differently life can turn out if only a few things are altered, if just one person cares. And I especially loved Harry and Albus' relationship in this one--it made me wish, more than once, that Harry'd had that kind of openness with him in his 'first' exposure. I also appreciate the idea that there is more than one 'reality', more than one set of 'circumstances' in which any of us can find happiness, the idea that life, love and fulfillment aren't a blade of grass, but field of it. Harry could've been happy in either dimension, I'm sure. It was nice that he didn't feel 'stuck' in a lesser place, where he could never be as happy.
What a great start to the Games! Congrats on a beautifully done story, and you've made all of TEAM DRAGON proud.
