icarus*Icarus clears throat.* I have been remiss. Up until this time, although I have long admired ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mctabby's talented and effective (and controlled!) use of first person, I have despised Julius Marvolo too much to read Two Worlds and In Between.
But now I have read it, and I wish I'd read it sooner.
This story is brilliant, magical, powerful. Compelling. Unlike many stories in the HP fandom, it doesn't ignore magic, but keeps magic (and issues surrounding its use) as the centerpiece of a fascinatingly complex game of power. I'm grateful that I waited this long however, because I didn't have to wait for chapter four, by far my favourite chapter so far.
I'm at once satiated, and hungry for more.
EDIT: for Typo.

*cackle* Oh, how I love the diversity of reader responses to that character! Some absolutely loathe him. Some want to shag him. Some identify with him so strongly that they start hating Albus. Some want him to shag one or more of the other characters forthwith.
Well, I set out with the challenge of writing first-person POV for a real bastard...
*shares a goblet of absinthe with the OC*
I'm very glad you enjoy him now.
P.S. There is also Julius/Albus AU smut by
