This, was quite excellent!

Ok...I am not very good in english so I will try to explain my feelings about this story as I can.
I read it in french and I just fall in love with this story. It is so beautiful and rare that we can just love it. I don't how I can explain what I fell, I can't in french too, but this one of the most awesome and beautiful story I have ever read.
Congratulations for your story and thank you very much to share.
(I hope I did not make to many mistakes...)

Frightening and fascinating how Gellert and Albus' love for him made Albus abandon his principles and ignore the alarm bells in his head

Excellent look at the two of them. This is almost how I imagine them. Gellert is obsessed, quick to anger, and just the right amount of evil. Albus is more reluctant and needs persasion.
Outside of their personalities, you got their relationship well too. Even though Gellert is about 2 years younger, I always see him as being the one initiating their relationship. I can just picture this scene- Gellert pinning Albus against a gravestone, and Albus protesting weakly but sort of enjoying it at the same time.

I have recently taken a liking to this pairing, and I think you portrayed them both very well, and what their relationship could've been like. Too bad there aren't many AD/GG fics, I hope the number will increase with time.

When I read your summary it was this one sentence that caught my attention. It seems so perfect to describe the teenage Albus.

I loved it when it reappeared in this paragraph full of symbols and thorns.

Great story - thank you.

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

Well written, spot-on characterization, great dialogue... Kudos to ya! This is going in my favs list :)

i loved it,you're such a good writter, *-*

oh, wuff. I decide to check out how much has been submitted under the official A/G section yet and you gave two stories already. typical, typical :D

I really, really enjoyed that. you got the balance between what albus knows is right, and what he feels for grindelwald. fantastic :]

That was adorable.

Poor Albus! This really makes it clear how he was headed for pain and heartbreak. I love the way you portrayed their relationship; on the surface something that could have been sweet, but mired in their darker ambitions and arrogent belief in their own power.

Ah, very nice! I like your idea of letting Albus say what he said in HBP. Although I am not sure, I think Mrs Rowling said sometime that Professor Dumbledore saw Aberforth and Ariana being tortured when drinking that potion. Or perhaps fragments of it, and Peverell said parts of it. Otherwise - very good!

Loved it so much! It was a lot deeper than it might seem if you know what I mean-it's sort of the beginning of their fascination of the Deathly Hallows. But it was sweet as well-and now I feel bad 'cause I haven't written mine! Definatly keep writing these one shots because your so great at it!

"At some point you need to act, Albus, otherwise it will only stay a dream."

I really, really like that line - as you said, nobody really criticized Albus up til then - he didn't have much in the way of an equal. Also, it captures a very important facet of his character.

Loved your idea of Gellert summoning ghosts, and having no qualms about being completely unethical.

Then...the end just blew me away...

Very nicely done. I love it, you really portrayed their relationship there. Great job. I love your stories!
