Very interesting

really like the start, and I love Epee too

Evil versus Evil at its finest.

It's great that Harry has found a way to practice his sport. Strange ending and thanks for sharing!

Very nice update! A pleasant surprise to see this notification.

Cool! please update soon!

Finish this story. Take a godsdamned decade if needed, but finish it.

Nice story so far! Great bout descriptions! Your blade bias and fidelity is... very transparent, but I'm a foilist so I don't really mind that much. Please finish this story, it is among the few well written (ish, compared to the really great ones, but you still write better than 95% of others) and thus must not die.

I like the premise, but unfortunately, I'm not really following or envisioning what's going on while they're fencing.

Cool! please update soon!

Never commented on the final lines of this chapter, for a few reasons.

"That day, Harry Potter met the love of his life.
He also met Fleur Delacour."

? "ALSO", sort of implies Fleur won't be the love of his life, or that he loves fencing more. As without "also met a greater love, a future love of his life". The joke or play on words maybe, that he met fencing in a new light, because of Fleur, winning because of her help, perhaps the meaning is, fencing became the love or his life because of finally winning...EXCEPT he already LOVES fencing or at least Fleur asking if he "enjoys" it, he replied, "more than anything else". if I recall. So maybe from liking it to loving it.
But unless it read something like "That day, Harry Potter met the love of his life, when he met Fleur Delacour.".
Or "grew his liking fencing more than anything, to loving fencing, due to meeting who would become the greatest love of his life. Upon meeting she, who helped him shift, from enjoying, liking, to loving fencing, Harry had met that day, she who would eclipse even fencing, as the greatest love of his life, and SHE, who Harry met that day, she was Fleur Isabelle Delacour."

ARGH! See how awful even a short version goes, trying to make the text say, what you probably mean it to say.

It's like your phrasing gets the meaning OUT, even if literally, it doesn't say what readers probably take it to mean, that it means "That day, Harry Potter met the love of his life.
When he met Fleur Delacour."

But THIS:
"That day, Harry Potter met the love of his life.
He also met Fleur Delacour."

Maybe since she is NOT YET the love of his life,
you meant by "also" to imply THAT UNKNOWN
to him he had met Fleur, not knowing he had met
the love of his live.

Perhaps some rephrasing?

I tried to offer up an OMAKE, week ago, wrote one, it was meandering, rambling, redundant, and PARAGRAPHS, really LONG.
So I later got an idea, to shorten it, which also turned into a long long, too long mess.

Anyway, even though the lines are understood, for me, reading them NOT literally is what I guess you mean.

As literally I would read as Fleur won't be the love of his life, that Harry loves fencing and Fleur is not a romantic "love pairing" of the fic, just a plain pairing, another major character.

Most probably won't take "also" to mean Fleur is "additional", so not "the love of his life" Harry met, but ONLY someone else he met. Even if not written as most read it, it is a hell of a lot more EFFICIENT in length. I probably "get" the meaning, even if it doesn't quite say what I take it to mean. Weird how something so small, can make a big difference, but NOT if one "gets" what is meant, rather than what was "said" [written].
And for "said", I suppose in everyday communication, "getting" the meaning, rather than taking everything literally, is a needed skill, for people to understand what people mean, and that it is not always what they said.

Pathetic Harry.

Awesome.

Nicely written. :)

Welp. That escalated quickly. Interesting story, but I must ask - why the disdain for sabre? You mentioned how Bob skipped over the topic of sabre and whatnot.
