Hate to say it bro, but I think it's you sucking at the game that makes you run away like a little bitch. You can easily kill effectively infinite guards with hidden blades alone once you've got the timing down pat.

 

Just read the first chapter of it. No good.

The style is very redundant. The author apparently has no other words than "teacher" to refer to the "taller figure clothed in white".
Also, the problem I normally have with Harry Potter/AC corssovers (like with many others) is that the authors give Harry powers nobody should possess at the age of 11. Like in this one.

 

'Lo, i'm the new guy here. Found this on a whim on me wanting to find a Harry/Fleur community. Thank you Methene!

I agree with you, no eleven year old should not get this much power, aside from the fact that he is a kid, how is his body handling all of this power, training can only get you so far people. Also the attention span of a kid. They want to have fun, not follow a strict regimen of eating, training, and something else i guess.

 

Fixed for you. Go read the stickies and post an intro.

 

It's relative new fic, not the best, but better then the others.

Already been down the Champions road here. Vlad explained why it was fucking awful the best, and there's some more talk about it back on Page 65 in this thread.

 

Damn,sorry. I read the whole fucking thread,but I haven't seen it anywhere...

 

Has this been discussed before? It certainly wasn't very good, but it was decent. Some point were very bad, but at least the author can actually write without a typo in every sentence. It's rather short, but I think that with a good revision and editing, it could become very good.
If it was discussed, my bad.

 

I took a quick swipe at the first chapter and reviews- the writer starts off feeding a purple prose yen, mis-identifies a cloaked figure as male until Fleur reveals herself (after using a Killing Curse on a scavenging wolf), and (from the sparse reviews) seems to favor a bunch of poorly-supported angst and inconsistent characterizations.

What, if anything, makes this worth consideration? With > 400,000 HP fics to wade through, I doubt every mistake of literary ambition is meant to be brought to DLP's attention. Is there anything more there to recommend this, aside from 'the writer is actually using the MS Word spelling and grammar check'?

 

1. Harry miraculously survives a poison attack everybody else died from. The reasoning given is, out of everything, fate.

2. In their dreams, Harry and Fleur can actually talk again with all their dead friends. Two things I don't like about it.
One, Fleur is the one to sleep first, and talks with Bill and the others, but gives Harry no indication that it happened whatsoever. Harry then sleeps, does the same, and then Fleur talks about it?
Two, I dislike this idea in general.

Not the worst fic out there, but definitely not good. Like Sesc, I'll probably follow it just for the heck of it.

 

If there's a good reason for this (such as it being a part/hint of a larger chunk of the story's plot in the future like the Prophecy had been in the original books), and if it's been written correctly, it might just work.

However, judging from the reactions given to it by readers/reviewers, I see that it either wasn't handled correctly by the author, or that it was a cheap explanation for Harry's survival.

Yeah, that is just a tad stupid. Maybe if there was a valid reason/cause for it, like the Stone (Deathly Hallow number two) being used, it'd make sense.

 

You said it. The problem I have with this is just that it sounds as if the author was too lazy to think up a valuable excuse for Harry to survive, so s/he did it using fate, and introduced fate as a centerpoint in Veela's lives. Or something like that.

 

The good old Basilisk Venom/Phoenix Tears thing is always available if you need Poison!Immunity!Harry, isn't it? I mean it isn't the greatest of devices but it's better than fate. (I haven't read it, but I'm assuming it takes place after book 2)

 

You know, that actually got me thinking; when someone's been bitten by a poisonous snake with potent venom (or a creature with any other type of potent venom such as a scorpion or jellyfish), and they're given an anti-venom or a drug to neutralize the enzymes within the venom/poison from destroying cells/causing damage, does the venom or any remnants of it stay within a host's system?

What about phoenix tears? Do they disappear once they've been used to heal a life threatening injury, or could they still be in Harry's system, fighting for dominance over the basilisk venom?

 

You can't use the real-life example of venom and antivenom to try and model how a magical snake's venom and the magical cure-all phoenix tears will interact. That's just senseless.

According to canon, pretty sure they canceled each other out. But nothing stopping enterprising fanfic authors from saying otherwise.

 

Let's just say that he was bitten by a radioactive snake and leave it.

 

I was thinking that it might of been one of the infamous JKR plot-holes.

I mean, if someone in real-life got bitten by a poisonous animal/creature (such as a rattlesnake), would any trace of the venom still remain in the victim's body even after an anti-venom or drug is administered?

 

If the venom were to remain in the person's body, the person would be affected by it thus negating the very reason an anti-venom is used. So yes, the reaction between the two completely neutralises the venom and it is flushed out of your system.

That said, Phoenix tears are not anti-venoms. They are anti-everything harmful. So the venom anti-venom reaction is moot here.

Also, obligatory no science in my magic.
