    Holy Shit. You have masterfully displayed the tension in the scene there, and it will most likely be the turning point/best part of the entire fic.

    Has to be one of the best tension scenes I have read.

    I'm actually just finishing off death masks so I feel I can say with confidence that that whole scene was very cannon. Well done.

    Though I'm trying to think back to your previous chapters if harry kicked any warden asses recently or is this post pedo-denarian ass spanking?

    Fucking tight. The entire chapter I was sitting on the edge of my seat, and the finish really tied it up nicely. I can't wait to see the next chapter, and hopefully some good ol' fashioned violence. Kudos for writing that fantastic piece of awesome! Kudos!

    Un-fucking-believable. That chapter is beyond a work of art. The level of anticipation for the next chapter has never been higher for me. The entire Council meeting and the chapter conclusion has built the tension up excellently.

    I'm going to have to read through the whole story again. Just so I can feel the full epicness of the confrontation when I see it. I am certain it will be full of win.

    Nope Tofferson, no prior knowledge needed. It's this fic that has made me into a Butcher fanboy. :D

    You people seem to have forgotten the Knight of Sword's oath to protect HP, right? God's Might along with HP's skills and power vs White Council, money's on HP's team...

    Don't forget Lasciel, she's sworn herself to Harry in some manner.

    A question for someone who's read the Dresden Files books (I haven’t got around to it yet) what is the significance of knowing someone’s true name? It was implied when Harry first met Lasciel and again when he got the Gatekeepers name that it was fairly important.

    Nuhuh, you fucking legend! I just jizzmed all over my monitor. :D
    People's names can be used for a lot of things in DF. Exactly what someone can do with the name seems to be dependant upon how much of the name they know and how powerful they are. Mostly it seems to be used for tracking, but the Drakon from Grave Peril (I think...) seemed to have a massive amount of power over Dresden with only his first name. Names are also used to call Demons, Faeries and other beings from the Nevernever.

    If you have a person's Name you can do pretty much anything to them. From exploding hearts to mind control (the really cool kind, not that crappy stuff Molly did with her crack whore friend), the list is quite extensive. Fun stuff.

    That was awesome, really really good.

    It seems that I enjoy it so much because there was no weird vision of crasy!Harrry, which really begins to annoy me. It's just a personnal taste but having the main character insane is always something I seems to have trouble accepting. Well, certainly because I find myself pretty sane.

    Still, awesome chapter.

    P.S: The last bit with the patronus was really well done. It really show how the councile fucked up and are really going to regret it.

    Its a matter of taste really. I personally like crazy Harry in this story because of its comic relief aspect.

    Aw-fucking-some chapter! Finally some action in this story, and progression through the story line. I honestly cannot wait for the next chapter.

    Ah, nuhuh, that made my day. That was an epic chapter, you could just feel the anticipation building up as the meeting went on. I was squirming in my seat at the end, like I'd just watched Roosevelt's infamy speech. Good work, and keep it up mate!

    lol, you appear out of no where.

    And that's high praise to liken it to Roosevelt's speech. Thank you.
