twinklewind 2008-05-22 ch 9,	abuseOnce again I find myself ensnarled in a fantastically conceived and written story, with intriguing characters that make me forget the homework and the stress, be it now or later when crappy marks arrive. So thanks. Salazar, very appealing, and Godric, forever changing, seeking. Rowena...quite interesting. Helga...I like how her last name is not Hufflepuff. Where are Salazar's original adversaries now? And his past? I liked the end of Chapter 7, Salazar's parting words to Godric. “It’s a dangerous thing, Godric, using magic as a weapon. You find yourself on a very slippery slope, as killing and atrocities become easier and easier… Don’t lose yourself, Godric-lad.” "Godric-lad." Quite fond. And Rowena still wears Godric's apples. Hoping to hear more!
hem hem 2007-10-02 ch 9,	abusewell well well, interesting story. I like the way everything kind of remains a mystery.
Symbolist 2007-06-05 ch 9,	abuseOh, excellent, another chapter! I only wish I had seen it sooner... how very interesting to make Rowena a temptress. This is so beautifully written, I'm anxious for the next chapter!
Thessaly 2007-05-18 ch 9,	abuseGolden apples...that sounds Norse but I can't place it. Either way, Rowena is fabulous. I like the fact that Godric somehow ended up being the only innocent one of the four, which is of course not at all what you would expect. I think everybody else would be tempted to turn Rowena into some silly Mercedes Lackey "girl finds magic!" blather; hearty congratulations for resisting if this was in fact ever a temptation. Still and always good fun - keep it going!
Embellished 2007-05-13 ch 9,	abuseThis chapter says a lot without saying it directly, which is one of the things I like best about your writing. The problem is that I'm not sure yet exactly what it is saying. I guess I'll just have to wait for more for it to become clearer. I am particularly intrigued by Rowena, who is not at all as I had pictured her originally. It will be interesting to see how she evolves as a character. Thanks for the update!

Symbolist 2007-03-18 ch 8,	abuseI hope you haven't stopped on this... it's brilliant. I love founderfic and this is the best one I've ever found. I know it's been four months since the last update... but please continue, this is really good.

Fizzing-Whizbee-nz 2006-12-10 ch 8,	abuseThis is a great story I hope there will be more of it soon.
Embellished 2006-11-28 ch 8,	abuseI'm not sure why I didn't get the notice of this chapter earlier, but better late than never, right? What I like best about this chapter is that it really illustrates how one can't truly understand the horrors of war except by experiencing it first-hand, and that it is all too easy to have one's humanity sucked away by it. And you did all that in so few words! Thanks for the update!
Ri-nee-chan 2006-11-28 ch 8,	abuseSo where's Rowena? Great story though. "Brotherhood" is one of my favourites. I like the style, the original plot and the lack of clichees and overused themes. You are a very refreshing author. Thanks for writing! Sincerly, Rnc
Fenikkusuken 2006-11-27 ch 8,	abuseThis was amazing. I am always in awe of the scenes you create with the bare minimum of words... and your ability to take us inside these character's heads. Thank you.
Thessaly 2006-11-27 ch 8,	abuseAH! You wrote Brunanburgh! I should have expected it, with Aethelstan running around, but...hooray! How cool is that! Interesting. I'm not quite sure I understand the implications of the end, but I'm a bit scatty at the moment so it's probably me and not your writing. It's a bit short, and this - "fighting off insanely bold crows and starved, predatory dogs, half-delirious with shock and fever as he searched for the bodies of his companions" - is not up to your usual standard. Insanely really sticks out; too modern for the tone, I think, and "half-delirious" is drifting in the nebulous world of misplaced adjectives. First time I've ever caught you making grammatical errors... I think it might have been better with a little bit more of the battle, and maybe a bit more about the Viking magic (I'm now very curious about it...did you know that Aethelstan had also hired a fair number of Vikings to fight on his side as well?). The battlefield is far less effective if you didn't get to see the fight. On the other hand, "the twin brothers who had come to him and begged to follow him, though they were not yet eighteen –" is great. Weasley ancestors, dare I ask? More Salazar and Helga next. Yes, all right, but where's Rowena?? Cheers; I'm having loads of fun reading this.
Bluer Sky 2006-11-27 ch 8,	abuseI am so glad you've come back to this story, even though it doesn't seem to have a point at the moment. No offense. I did like the chapter, it was a sweet bit of Inu/Kik. Impressionism is my favorite style of painting, although I don't know much about it, clearly not as much as you do. I just like looking at it. =/
imakeeper 2006-11-27 ch 8,	abusewow that was like eyeopening
