There are few things I love more than a mystery and this one was spectacular. I have to say that I never would have guessed what happened (which for me is a rare and wonderful thing), but I loved how you resolved the situation and everything made perfect sense in the end.

You really did a nice job paring down some off the parts that I initially felt were a bit drawn out. But the fic flowed well and the time I spent reading went quickly. I was completely engaged the majority of the fic. I actually re-read it in one sitting and although I know it was 96K, the pacing was so smooth I would have guessed closer to 50K. And kudos for such an amazing job incorporating your prompts.

What a wonderful addition to Team Cauldron. Our loss is their gain. ♥

	I'm sad to have lost such a wonderful team, but someone told me that they were voting for Team Snitch like crazy because they thought I was on it, so I didn't leave on a bad note which makes me happy. I wish I could've taken yuor suggestions to make the end longer and done that. I think I might make a version with added deleted scenes. (Reply to this) (Parent)
