I found I was wanting to know more about the magic behind the word-bond and how that works
Me too :-) That was the one aspect of the fic I felt a bit disappointed with - I could have gone into the bond a bit more, but since the fic was told from Harry's POV, I doubt that he was thinking much about the bond, and it didn't fit anywhere else. As I have told several others, I am thinking about expanding this universe. If I do, the bond will most definitely be discussed.
