oh joy, a whole long fic about the checkmate boys! It is certainly
one of my favourite universes. As always, I marvel at your ability to
write them so much like them selves, and still just slightly
different than from the books. It really was a brilliant story. I
enjoyed Hermione's appearance, she was her bookish self, but as the
boys don't know her very well they can't see the good sides only the
nagging know it all ones.
I liked the discussions about covents and how they ought to be, it
seems appropriate that Harry is somewhat a traditionalist, being
Hufflepuff and all. I enjoy the pagan traits of this universe.
It's such a different universe, but now one can see some
similarities. It was very interesting to glimpse parts of the world
outside Harry's and Ron's affairs; with all that Dumbledore and the
remnants of the Order are up to. Those lay-lines aligning towards the
arch can't be up to any good. Fancy that the ritual should cause a
lightning-shaped wound… Much looking forward to whatever happens
next.
Accidentally, I spent too much time yesterday re-reading the Coming
Home stories; you work so well with Harry and Ron. Always enjoying
your writing.
