I definitely liked this. The idea of Fate enforcing balance in this matter actually makes a bit of sense. When reading the novels (and I enjoyed them until OOTP, which I tolerated, and I gagged on the last two) I often wondered just why the heck Harry would be willing to "give his all" for the people who treated him like crap. The psychological damage done to him between his childhood with the Dursleys and the "we love you/we hate you" treatment by the Wizarding world, and total stupidity of dumping the responsibility for taking out a terrorist on a person who wasn't legally old enough to drive shouldn't have led to the self-sacrifice that Harry offered in canon, in my not so humble opinion. ;-) When it comes to writing a character with a self-sacrificial destiny, Rowling really messed up, IMO, by trashing Harry's life and relationships like she did. At least in The Lord of the Rings novel trilogy, Frodo was a legal adult (barely) when the Ring was dumped on him, and a mature adult when he made his decision to take the Ring from the Shire to keep his homeland safe, and then on to Mordor to ultimately save Middle-earth, not a teenager who has had extremely limited experience in both the Muggle and Magical worlds. I really enjoy your fanfics. The twists that you give them are interesting, and I like that you have good reasons for the AU/non-canon things that occur in them. I like seeing the changes in your writing style as I've been going through your completed works abd even the bits that you've abandoned. It's so good to read fanfiction by intelligent people, like you and the other authors at fanficauthors.net. I'll be coming back to re-read your corpus over and over again, for certain.

An interesting little ditty. Makes one stop and think.

Nicely done.

Hmmm, interesting to think about. So did Fate take Harry's magic, while it was ending Voldie?

I wonder if Harry might someday take the time to play on the playground like he wanted to in childhood? That would be a fun, light-hearted date activity!! :)

Quite the irony. The Boy-Who-Lived gives up his magic to destroy the most evil wizard in history. Harry, who loved magic, gave it up for the world. But now he has a chance to live as a "normal" person. I hope it works for him! Thanks for writing. This was fun! pms

Can I make a guess that you were inspired by Terminator?

I had wondered about what you would make of a Post HBP fic, as you are devout and outspoken in your dislike for that book. This was okay, though. Not sure the reactions of the others, Hermione in particular, are accurate, but this would have to have turned into a much longer fic to encompass that sort of reaction. She would have at least wanted to keep some connection with him, even if it were completely muggle. Yeah, she probably wouldn't have left the wizarding world for him, but she would visit.

Brings me back to a simple thought that I might find some way to incorperate into a fic someday; after defeating Voldemort, Harry will have fulfilled his destiny at around the age of 18. This leaves him in a unique position amongst humans. How will he handle it?

Thanks for sharing.
