Yow! This fic totally sucked me in despite how incredibly dark it was it also had this constant hope in the form of the people around Harry.
Draco's wishes? Harry's right, in any other situation they would be funny, in this one the implications are just too terrifying.
All of the Norse mythology was just brilliantly worked through, the whatsit, horse head on the spike just makes me shudder when I think of it. (sorry I'm too lazy to go look).
I like how the Snarry was subtle until the point it came full-force with the Mask (which incidentally made me want to smack Harry around the head for being so stupid) and Snape's reprisal made me want to melt. Yum!
Great fic, I just wish I could have read it in time to vote.
