Good and evil does not exist...only power. What an interesting concept although not throughly explained. The definition of good and evil depends on the person who has the most power. Adolf Hitler, for example, decided that d wiping out the Jews was the righteous thing to do and it became a good thing to kill the and slaughter the Jews because Adolf Hitler, who held the most power at the time, decided it was so. So good and evil does not exist because the what is good and what is evil depends on the person with the most power and power-holding shifts too much for their to be a line between the two...this is the result of a whole month's worth of thought:)

Wow! That was really interesting.

It kinda makes me sad that Artemis died in the end, but... it was still a good ending to a good story.

I never realized how similar Artemis and Riddle are until I saw this fic.

Props!

I think I'm going to be sick. . . . . . . . You killed Artemis!! How could you! I rather him be raped and get revenge on Tom instead and have Tom feel like he lost the one he loved the most to Harry Potter! MHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

a) I am a very bad girl, because I never read this originally (well, skimmed a bit, but I suck).
b) the ads at the bottom of are currently for female bodyguards specialising in close protection services, wtf?

I'm not a fan of the awareness of both J.R.K and Colfer being accurate. That almost always annoys me, unless it comes out of the blue at the end as part of a twist. For one thing, that would mean that Mulch Actually Existed, and nothing so Stuish ever should. As a real thing, though, it makes me more aware of the *writing* rather than the story. It makes me see/think about not only Rowling and Colfer, but what you're doing, when distracting people with the pretty OTP might work better.

That was pretty. Very pretty. I liked how you handled the 'oh, let's manipulate your tongue for speaking to snakes, dear', because that was... a lot less contrived than it could have been. Artemis's questions, reactions, and engagement was lovely - I really liked how you treated him from Tom's pov.

I do think that Tom could have been slicker. Not just Tom himself (perhaps hinting towards the revelations/thoughts revealed at the end, so we get that it's more narcisstic than plain Tom/Arty etc), but the time lapses. I really liked how he discovered about Merope and the way Arty's little tie-in towards the Fowls as a *family*, as something to be prized, was worked. That was yummy.

...Um, yes, pretty fic. Nice premise, and I don't care at all that you didn't explain away the 50 years because I don't feel that HP is tied too closely to the real world and that timeline can slide easily. The few times when you tried to... match up the Wizarding world with the fairies were well handled - you patted them on the head, linked a few things up, and then went on to the pretty parseltongue kiss. That was my favourite part.

The moral response from Artemis, and the more extreme response from Tom was lovely. I liked how.. they could get to that point in likemindedness. I think you could have made the description of the 'torture' and killing more impactful, but that's about style (and probably would have been very difficult from this Tom pov).

...Is not tempted by Tom/Arty, oh no, I've already got Artemis/Alex Rider... *headdesk*

Ooh. Apparently TRxAF slash is a freakishly, dementedly delicious little thing I should delve into more often, hmm?

Anyway, I commend you- beautifully written and an awesome concept.

Hey.

I read this a few days ago, but you asked for a review so here it is.

I've studied this pritty hard, and have discussed it with other people, because well... *is even less cryptic than before.*

I think the biggest problem is that you have the odd stupid sentence here and there that ruins the mood of the piece.

(The worst being references to Colfer. What *were* you thinking? I actually had to check that it wasn't a parody. Lily explained to me that you see the books as biographies of his life, but still...)

I thought that perhaps the dialogue was a tad simplistic, considering the intellectual power of the characters.

I enjoyed the ending, but you sort of glossed over a lot of things.

A good read.
