![]() ![]() ![]() This was an excellent story! I sincerely hope you return to finish it one day. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Hmm so magic has taken a backseat in this fic. Why bother crossing over with harry potter at all if you're just going to be a damsel in distress all the time |
![]() ![]() ![]() Great story, great chapter, thank you ! |
![]() ![]() So…. You have an op character… and all she does is put up privacy wards? What is the point? Why give her magic if she does fuck all with it? The start was interesting… this? Far from it. If you wanted lilly x robert moments, then why is she not on the front lines with him? Why is she wandering a keep where all she will do is stop wildfire from going off? This work has wasted all of the potential you had cultivated, and frankly its an absolute disappointment the work has got this far and has made absolutely no use of the setup you started. She is angry? Why is she at the keep? Why did she learn swordplay? Why does she have magic? Why did everything you started this work with become absolutely irrelevant? Such a waste. Of my time reading this expecting to read about lilly evans in another world, and of your time writing something that is flopping so hard after 300,000 words of setup. |
![]() ![]() Care to explain why the 21 year old Lilly has suddenly regressed into a naive young girl who doesn’t understand that her mother is dying? Even after the whole ‘convincing the maester to help with potions’ thing? This whole conversation with her mother is frankly out of character for both of them. The mother is too nice when she should be harping on using her imminent death to push her child to be a braindead lady, while Lilly should be acting like someone 8 years older than the 5 year old she has regressed to. Very glaring issue in a work that so far has been consistent and moving on at a good pace. |
![]() ![]() Please please please continue this story! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Og my goodness! Im looking forward to the next chapter! When is it?! |
![]() ![]() ![]() It is immediately obvious that the author is a woman. Only from these creatures can you expect pussy suffering from the first lines and a complete lack of plot. All the words in the world are not enough to describe the full extent of the heroine's stupidity. This stupid cunt is going to tell someone about her magic, please tell me, what the fuck? For some reason, the author forgets about the fact that she knows the current people longer than the past ones, and the heroine even after a decade whines about it, that's so stupid. Also infuriating is the author's bastard habit of repeating the same thing, we fucking realized that the heroine got into the Middle Ages, repeat it a hundred times. The author did not seem to have heard about the dialogues, three chapters tell us the same thing, while not showing the heroine's relationship with anyone at all, so they threw a few words. Of course, this fool has not heard about the principle of show, not tell. The author's habit of jumping from one to another is also infuriating, there is no order in the narrative. In general, writing is not yours, go to the kitchen to cook, and then have children. |
![]() ![]() ![]() lily isnt a twenty-first century feminist tho. like i get what u mean but the 70s/80s feminism that wouldve shaped lily's worldview growing up is lot different than twenty first century feminism. (also i dont really like how she disdains soft power but tbh its in character for her as a kid and as a gryffindor so, sure) |
![]() ![]() ![]() I reread this story every few months. It’s one of my favorites. I hope someday you will have the time and energy to finish it! |
![]() ![]() ![]() I'm re-reading the story and I realised I can't remember you mentioning the staff, the medallion or the two strange meetings during which Lily got them as well as the warning from the Mountain Clansman (Shaman?) from Ch.9 in the later chapters... are they Items that'll become relevant in future chapters or have you forgotten about them? I ask, because I was curious what is their purpose (and yes admittedky I have this picture of Lily using a double bladed staff and confusing het opondnts with this unconventional weapon in my head which I think is awesome) |
![]() ![]() ![]() Well...that last phrase of Lily give Petyr even more reasons to be his Canon self... or even worse |
![]() ![]() ![]() Alright, let's go over the facts. Lily Potter is known as the brightest witch of her age, and is quite skilled in potions and charms. Yet the Lily Potter we are presented here is scared of using her magic, sometimes forgets that she can even use magic to solve problems (such as finding missing people), and is a pseudo-elitist. Despite making the point over various chapters that she cares not for status or blood of people, she seems to only interact with nobility elites and does nothing for the benefit of the small folk of Riverrun or King's Landing even though she has the boons of magic. The Luna Lovegood transported to Westeros story is much more believable in a good-hearted woman with some magical training making an actual difference in common folk's lives - better farming during winter, common access to healing potions and medicines, better sanitation, etc. I'm beginning to think that Petyr was right about Lily; she has forgotten the little people now and is content to live in her elitist circles without changing a thing about the new world she is in. The author has spent chapters detailing how empowered a woman Lily is in learning how to fight and taking action, but when it comes to actually engaging in the plot and trying to stop a war, she does nothing. She does not find the missing Lyanna or Rhaegar despite being very skilled in Charms. She does not make runes and jewellery to protect her loved ones when she knows they're going off to war. She does not even have the courage to use magic to apparate more people out of harm's way, like Elia and her children, as she did for Lysa. In trying to make an empowered, independent, and strong-minded woman, you have in fact made a maiden locked in a tower who is extremely passive and accepts the world around her passing by. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I miss this amazing story! |
![]() ![]() ![]() The obnoxious death scene that took up this whole chapter just killed off my interest in this story, if that's the way you write characters. It should've been skipped entirely. |
