So poetic. Words cannot describe how amazing this story is. You basically summed up Albus Dumbledore's life in one chapter. Amazing job, as always.

I love Dumbledore/Grindelwald stories, and this is so pretty (and sad!). I like the way you structured it with the flying and falling, especially the scene where Albus flies to leave his home and family behind.

This story was stunning. It wins the SiriuslyPeeved Kleenex award because I had to get a tissue. I love your prose style, it's so close to poetry in places.
iLove was huge and cruel and love was everything. It hurt, it burned, refusing the relief of blissful oblivion – it never let him rest for he did not deserve that chance. Love was the scar on the inside of his soul, the images engraved into him, flashing by before he could reach sleep. Ariana fell and Gellert fell and his mother fell, graceful and young forever, though it was always him hitting the ground. It was his fate, and only fair./i
If you could sum up a character in one paragraph, you've just done it. Bravo.
I'm so inspired to get out and write some Albus/Gellert now!

Another beautiful piece, Azzie.
You really do have a way with words. The way you have set the story out really works and clearly defines each of the defining moments of Dumbledore's life clearly. You have portrayed the turmoil of Dumbledore's life through those moments, everything from being a head strong youth to finding love and haivng it break his heart
I personally loved the mentions of Albus/Gellert - It's not something I've read a lot of but after reading this fic, I'll defiantly be looking it up more often.
Your song choice was wonderful - Florence & the Machine is an amazing band and this song worked extremely well with this story.
Overall, Azzie. This was a wonderful take of Dumbledore’s character and I really like it. It's wonderfully written and you have done a lovely job.

I'm so sorry that I've been taking forever to write this review!
This - this was just fantastic, Azzie. Your power with words, the way you manipulate different emotions and convey them to your readers, the way that you dig into fathomless depths of your characters; it all just makes your pieces perfection.
I really like how you progressed through Dumbledore's most significant scenes in life, but somehow always entwined them with flying. I don't know if this is what you were hoping for, but the impression I got when reading this is that he wanted to be able to fly into the distance like his Phoenix, Fawkes. Randomly generated thought, I know, but that's what your work does to me.
Another marvellous contraption. I still marvel at how you write so well.

Great song choice! I think it captures the mood of the story perfectly! I'm not as familiar with Harry Potter as I'd like to be, I admit. So, I really don't know who Gellert is, but I got it from the story. So sad...and so sweet at the same time. The end was so bittersweet, but expertly written. I did enjoy this story and I thank you as it was very well-written. Great job. :)

Let’s play a game, shall we? Yes? Fantastic.
This game is called “Things That Can Write Better Than You”. The rules are simple. Please correctly select which choice can write better than you:
A. My left testicle
B. A toilet-full of chunky diarrhea
C. An inbred midget clown who swims in choice B
D. All of the above
If you chose the correct answer, D, then you have won the following prize:
A spot in my coveted C2 “Stories My Editor-In-Chief Turd Out of My Ass Could Write Better” (which, strangely enough was not one of the choices). Don’t despair! Even if you didn’t choose correctly, I will be kind enough to give you that prize anyway. Who said I don’t have a heart?
Congratulations! Please continue to avoid the dictionary as if it were an oozing, pus-filled sore on an old hooker’s a.s.s. And good grammar? Well, run away from it like it’s a festering syphilitic itch you just can’t scratch in public. Or in words you can understand: your fic sucks donkey balls, and that’s what you wanted me to think, right? Because otherwise, I’d have to believe this was an actual attempt at writing and laugh the crap right out of myself.
Best regards,
F/R

Oh, some nice Albus/Gellert insight! And Florence and the Machine! (I spell it wrong, I know :P) I'm beginning to appreciate both more and more, thanks to you! ;)

Lovely and depressing. But that's just your style, isn't it? ;)
I like the idea of how the only thing Dumbledore had to give to the world was his mind and that's what made him great, in the end. That he spent his whole life trying to balance out his destructive youth with tranquility and love. Very nice.
