awesome, awesome, awesome!

I really hope Ginny is all right.

Now Hermionie can put on HER t shirt
"so you killed Voldemort... what have you done for me lately?"

Okay.... Great timing, for one. I just finished a complete reread a few days ago, and now this! Yay!!!
Now, since I'm horrible at reviewing, I'll keep this short:

I am amazed. This chapter is all - and more, than what I've been waiting for. It is hands-down the BEST defeat of ole VoldieButt that I've ever read.
I would list every specific thing that I loved, but my review would end up rivaling the chapter itself in length. :D
This fic was my first H/Hr that I read, and it is now one of my absolute favorite fics EVER. And I really don't say that lightly, because I've read THOUSANDS of fics in many different fandoms. This is by far one of the tops. :D

That said.... Thank you for writing it - it has given me (and many others) countless hours of enjoyment.

Can't wait to see how things end up in the remaining chapters,
Jayde.

PS: I hope Bob continues to get better.

Bravo!

What a great chapter. The pacing, the tension, the action... it was all perfect! I love the way you killed Voldie. Very unique! Sorry to see that this epic is finally coming to a close, but all good things...

Very well done.

Help with translation: "Vända den här dimma till rök"
All the words are in their neutral form, so the sentence doesn't make much sense.. The equivalent in english would be "'To turn' 'this here' 'some fog' to smoke."
A correct translation would be "Vänd denna dimma till rök" ... but applying the verb vänd to the subject of fog isn't really possible, 'vänd' doesn't mean 'turn' in the sense of 'turn into' in Swedish.

Let me recommend something along the lines of:
"Låt mina ord skingra denna tjocka dimma och frammana flyktig rök där tidigare endast ogenomträngligt dis funnits."

(Translates to 'Let my words scatter the thick fog and bring forth ephemeral smoke where there has been only impenetrable mist')



...oh, and <3 @ the chapter.

wow, wow!! the final battle, the big fight!! everything was planned out to a tee, preperations were made and they're sent out to war, but of course, not everything goes perfectly cause there's always a surprise hidden but u prepare for what u can and do what u can. honestly, this is way too close to home for me. i can't believe the amount of details u guys go into during the fights. if i've never said it before, shame on me cause i should have. it blows my mind with all the strategy and whatnot and the inventions that were created were used quite well. the caltrops were an especially nice touch.

i can't believe they forgot about the medallions sending the brotherhood back to the manor if they're hurt, but i guess it shows the dedication they have towards everyone as a whole unit working together and how it's not just the the brotherhood. it's the whole of england fighting for their home and that sort of unity stuff. i was sort of hoping that the brotherhood as a whole would be together and take out voldemort, just to see how they might fight together but i'm well aware that it's always been harry and tom in the end. and harry kicked his ass and u didn't cop out with just a few killing curses thrown once or twice. woohoo!! *does happy dance in chair* i knew putting my faith in u guys for a decent last battle between good and bad wasn't in vain. i've been disappointed so many times. i only hope jk's version will bring me as much satisfaction.

u have this odd thing about leg injuries from harry, terry and ginny. oh, and i imagine that since harry used that spell to be able to use his leg, there's a possibility that his leg might be worse, eh? and i should have known that susan would pop the kid out just when the battle's starting. it's the process of life and death and all that. and way cute of remus and tonks saying they're going to have a kid now.

oh, gosh, i can hardly believe it's basically over. i mean, i know there's the 2 follow ups since there's going to be a whole lot of clean up to do but the major fight between the light and dark in the au harry potter world is over. i'm just blown away. bloody brillant. flipping spectacular. *frantically claps hands and nodds head as am now lost for more words to describe how much i've loved everything* i think i might end up sobbing over my keyboard when i read that final chapter.

Totally awesome!!!

The power and energy you put into this was remarkable. I felt my adrenaline increase just reading the battle scenes. Giving birth during the final battle was a cool twist.

Love how even the well planned assault had some hangups... wonder how long it will be before the brotherhood in the field remember the portkey function?? And what is it with leg injuries in war? First Harry, then Terry, and then Ginny? Seems to me that having a name ending in the letter 'y' is like wearing a red shirt on an away mission.

Bob, very happy to hear you are feeling better! Hope the flowers tasted good and that the cats enjoyed the cookies... btw, just what does virtual milk smell like anyway?

I eagerly look forward to the next chapter. Here is your reward for being such great authors:



B E S T S T O R Y E V E R !

I've been looking forward to this for a very long time, and I can't imagine a better way for the beginning of the end to begin. Thank you both for this incredibe journey, you are the people that keep the fandom strong.
Much love,

YAY! He's dead...did I miss it, what happened to dear ole Snape? I loved the end of Lucius...Draco did good. Here's to hoping that Ginny will be all right. I loved this chapter!

Thank you for a most satisfying chapter. I loved it!!! I've never written before, and I want to thank you for these great stories that have filled the void while we wait for JKR. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

zac posted a comment on Saturday 17th March 2007 3:03pm

Just read that end of Voldemort again...Was that some sort of Highlander powerburst or did something more sinister happen? After all the prophesy is kind of Highlander.

Neither can live while the other survives...

There can be only one...

Mere concidence? You decide...

zac posted a comment on Saturday 17th March 2007 2:55pm

WOW...what a ride. Thank you both for such a wonderful story. *Pulls out plate of homemade Peanut Butter cookies made with Splenda TM rather than sugar.* You've earned them.

Good chapter! I've often thought if you cleansed Voldie of dark magic, it would kill him... Then again, a simple accio, when properly applied, could easily kill.

es posted a comment on Saturday 17th March 2007 2:07pm

soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good!!!!! it's like a tripple chocolate cake with a cherry cheesecake on the side and the 5 gallons of mountain dew to top it all off. personaly i'm wonder ing why they didn't bring a cuople dozen SAS troopers along with some support weapons (ie m2s, rocket launchers, and some sniper rifles) set 'em up on one of the towers and just pour fire into the death nibblers, but thats just what i would do.

An excellent climax to the story. and you still have two to three chapters to go? Heh, I'm looking forward to reading them. Great job.

Wow 'ol Voldie's been expired?! Yay! Now for the clean up and the really hard stuff, the rebuilding. Go team!

A most excellent final battle sequence! I feel shamed that I will never write anything to compare with this masterpiece. Each and every point was well set-up and supported, while not being stale and predictable. I do believe that with this, the canon final battle may be lacking when revealed in July. After all, you two have done a better job at logical plot and consistance than canon all the way through.

Gotta love that Lucius's final words are nearly incoherent:

What I son I have, he thought. It was the last thought he ever had.

Thank you for your devotion to the craft of storytelling, truly the most noble form of entertainment.

I am glad that you are feeling better, Bob. Just this past week, one of my coworkers got news from his doctor at the VA that he has Type 2 coupled with High Bloodpressure and High Cholesterol, which puts him on rabit food, finger pricks six times a day, and four different medications. He shares his numbers for curiosity sake and I find the inexplainable fluctuations amazing. I hope that you are able to deal with your disease as well as he seems to be. If only he manages to control it enough to return to his New York Pizza on occasion, he would be a truly happy man.

Thank you again for writing.

Ding, dong, the Dark Lord's dead! Which Dark Lord? The old Dark Lord! Ding, dong, the old Dark Lord is deeeaaadd!

*ahem*

First Tim, and now you! Are trebuchets and caltrops going to be de rigueur for final battles on FFA now? (I'm going to have one hell of a time working them into any of my stories ...)

Small reality check: Having the waters break at the onset of labor actually doesn't hurt at all. There are no nerves in the amniotic sac, and the fluid just runs out through the cervical opening when the sac ruptures. The mother-to-be just becomes suddenly damp, with no control over it. (Been there, done that.) All in all, Susan's labor was remarkably fast for a first-time mother. Only three hours from when labor was noticed to birth? That's very fast, and I'm not surprised she had a problem afterwards.

All in all, however ... Good show! Bravo!
