Amazing. This story is fabulous. It's so intricate and creative. Even though it's almost 100k words, I couldn't stop reading it. I was entranced from beginning to end.
First, I have to say that you are an amazing storyteller. Every time I thought I know what was happening, you'd add in another complication. Like when Severus figured out that he Endell had the same condition, I thought that was it, but there was so much more afterward.
Second, I love how the portraits were accessory characters to this complex tale. Paracelsus is hilarious, especially when he was whining about the lack of bosoms in the household. I love Phineas as well, with his subtle manipulations of both Severus and Harry.
Third, I love the French and the bits and pieces of The Little Prince that you worked into the story. I was wondering why Harry insisted on having dinner and 2 hours together each day because it sounded familiar. It all made sense later.
Finally, I just have to say that you're incredibly talented to be able to write such a complex, engaging tale and weave it all together. Not once did anything feel out of place, or even extraneous (and I think that's an accomplishment considering the length of the story). Even with how long the story was, I still wanted more. I loved the happy ending, especially since for a while, I was worried that it wouldn't come.
I'm so happy you're part of our team. We're so awesome, but I have to give credit to the Snitches as well for guiding you through such an amazing journey. Well done, teammate!
