Honestly, about half of the warnings/kinks normally would've had me turning away, but I pressed on because it was you and OMG I'm so glad I stayed to read!
You had me right from the beginning, Harry moving through the 'red light' district whistling a happy tune and greeting people like the friends they were---such a great contrasting image! I could almost see little Disney-esque birds flying around and landing happily on Harry's shoulder as he greets the working girls.
This is the sort of story that I wish I could write: secret tunnels, sexy-voiced lift, all the little details that fit so naturally into the story and make it so rich. So imaginative. Mystery! The rejuvenating phoenix labels, the Dragon Mead, Gonnixes! Arthur, Percy and Jimmy!. The nod to Heath! And oh! The Snarry! Perfect perfect perfect.
