Actual people get published in magazines at the age of 14 or so.
So, yes, you're young. But you're probably not young enough that you "Don't feel like you can write the opposite gender well" - and thus avoid it.

So... No self preservation?

Nice one. Even though I don't appreciate slash the littlest bit, the story so far makes up for it

This. is. fantastic. THANK YOU!

First fanfiction I ever read who took Harry and Tom's relationship outside Hogwarts. Let's how it plays out :)

P.S. Please, please, let Orion and Walburga be happy at the end. Happy and alive. I know that they have to sire(?) Sirius and Regulus first but for the love of fandoms, let they get what they deserve at the end. (If not for the love, for my heart then)

yaaaay new chapter! it was great :)

jdahlfkjdshf this story makes my heart hurt
but its worth it

Fun chapter though, really need to re read this cause it’s been a while since the last update and I need a refresher. Quick note though I really hope this whole Dorea thing is going some where because the whole slightly chubby frizzy hair bad outfits trope is kinda played out in my opinion. Not trying to be rude or a hater I just see that all the time and it gets super repitive. Love your writing though it’s very impressive and can’t wait for the next update!

Wow

I thought you’d forgotten this story! I love it

Yay two chapters! Thank you. It’s amazingahhhh

Thats a huge progress in tom’s and harry’s relationship.

Yay, new chapters! I love your writing style, and how you mix serious angst with quirky humor. It’s so elegantly done that it actually fits together, which is rare in fanfics.

I’m not so sure about Harry’s plan to go back to the future though. If he actually manages to time travel to the future, it won’t be the one he came from. Tom will be different, which may or may not lead to Voldemort. Myrtle wouldn’t be a ghost, and Druella wouldn’t be married. A number of smaller changes would probably occur too. These changes will mean that life in his time would be anywhere from slightly to completely changed. The least-changed future would be one where Tom still turns into Voldemort, which would keep a lot of consistency, but even then the second book would still be different since they wouldn’t have Myrtle’s ghost around. If Harry were to go to the future and Tom were miraculously to stay on the so-called good path, than Harry parents may never even marry, since the first war against Voldemort would have had significant impacts on their character development. Should any of these changes occur, Harry as he is now would not match up with the Harry he would be then. Would he just merge with the alternate future Harry? Or would there be two Harry’s around? Is there even a point to traveling to the future if it’s so different that he doesn’t have a place there? The other possibility of course would be for Harry to have created an alternate dimension by influencing Tom, Orion, and others. This way he actually would be from an alternate universe that diverged from the one he’s in at the start of this story. In this case he could return to his previous life exactly as he left it by traveling to this original dimension. However, he would have had no influence on Voldemort there, and would have to leave the Tom of this universe alone, possible sending him on a path to darkness. Basically, he has no options that give him all that he wants, and I don’t think he’s come to that realization yet, which sucks considering he’s basing a future career that he doesn’t even want that much solely on this goal. Wow, that was a long rant and you’ve probably already considered all this, I just thought it was interesting.

I also kinda hope something can be done for Orion and Walburga. I didn’t think anyone could make me like those two, but dang it you made me really like them. Anyways, good luck with your writing!

You’re 17 and this good a writer?! Damn. I’m impressed. I really am curious about how life for Harry and Tom goes now that they are adults. It’s pretty original for a fic to start with time travel and then the main character to be living out years of life in that other world. Usually stories where Harry travels into the past result in him leaving within a few months. I hope a lot is left of this story. I feel like so much needs to happen even though I don’t know where this is going.

OMGG! TWO MORE CHAPTERS! Even though, apparently, these were already out on A03, it's still a very nice surprise. I did not see them moving in together so soon but it does make sense, and I am super glad that Tom had at least started to take Harry's advice to heart. I swear, one of the biggest reasons I did not like cannon Tom was that he had so much potential. He had the charm, the influence, and the heritage to do something great, but because of his rituals and horcrux's, he lost his mind, and spiraled away from the amazing future he could have had. Would he still kill someone every once in a while? Sure. Would he be a threat to some? Definitely. Would he be nice? Not he be a possessive bas**** to Harry and all he claims? Absolutely. But he would be grounded, hopefully by Harry, and content... or at least as content as he could be. This makes me happy, and I love the story anyway so keep up the amazing work and I can't wait to see what happens next!

thank you for writing, I enjoy my time reading it:)
