Hi! Oh, so sorry about your computer – that happened to me a couple years ago (laptop died completely, at a time when I hadn't had a chance to back anything up in a while) and it was Not Fun. Hope you're able to get things sorted out...
Thank you for these comments, which are very helpful and timely, as I'm pondering and revising this fic. HMM, interesting that you're in fact already getting out of this version all the things I wanted the reader to get out of it (Gellert in control, smirking, always a little superior; Albus abandoning himself to this seduction and not seeing – or allowing himself to see – what he's losing hold of in the process) – maybe I don't need to revise/add as much I as thought I did! (I'm about to do a last read-through of the revised version I'm going to post.)
it really is a seduction of the senses
I'm so pleased you said this, because that's what I'm working on most at the moment – incorporating more physical and sensory/sensual details.
But I can read him calling Dumbledore his 'white knight' in two ways
For my own thought processes as I'm working on these stories, I'd love to know what two ways you interpret Gellert's phrase!
