It has been well over a decade since I read this for the first time, and in the many rereads since it’s never gotten old, nor have I ever found anything else that is more than vaguely superficially similar (pretty impressive given the size of the fandom). Everything is fantastic, but your take on Dumbledore is my absolute favorite I’ve ever read for so many reasons. Thank you for sharing such a fun and unique work.

gosh i love this story. will def be a frequent reread

love it thank you so much!

I’ve read and reread this fic so many times, it’s been a favorite for years. I’m a little sad that we haven’t seen Phoenix Fire, but at the same time while there are plot hooks and loose ends, this is a fairly well contained story. I’m not in the HP fandom as much anymore, but every now and then I’ll give in to the nostalgia- especially for a fic like this, with such intricate and creative worldbuilding. And of course next on my list is Desperate Measures, which is even more elaborate. Thank you for writing and publishing this, I’m so glad that I get to read it.

I get so much enjoyment from this fic. They are so witty and charming

I have no idea if you still read comments for this, but I just want you to know that this story is probably my absolute favorite in the entire fandom. I have read it well over a dozen times (probably more like two-maybe even three!-dozen), and keep coming back to it over and over again whenever it crosses my mind. I'll always be sad that you chose not to write the sequel, but my love for this fic and gratitude to you for writing and sharing it is beyond words.

This is the 3rd time ive read this story. My heart is full. Thank you so much

Still an amazing and wonderful story (after multiple readings.) Thank you for writing

Good story, I love it every time I reread it

...so wait, did harry go through his transition all alone?

Really good. Definitely a favourite story of mine

Wonderful, all of it, thank you!

Thank you so much for your mention of the book about improving your eyesight, I've needed something like that and have now ordered a copy. Oh and I also love this story :)!

wow, I am amazed at the story. It was well done and nicely different. very good job and I thank you for all the little surprises along the way from chapter 1 to the end.

Gosh I love this story every time I read it!
