    :confused:



    The entire thing just feels... meh. Uninspired I guess; there are all these factions just sort of randomly appearing, but, at heart, its nothing that hasn't been done (repeatedly) before.

    I'd say get rid of the Twin!BWL entirely and find some novel approach to allowing another person to kill Voldemort. And no, Neville doesn't count. The prophesy never specifies that it is about Voldemort; that was simply assumed due to the time in which it was made. Have the prophesy apply to the Harry/Horcrux!Harry conflict and let someone who doesn't get much screen time off Voldemort.

    Twin BWL is a cliché; that is an inescapable, immutable fact. You can't have Twin!BWL and a lack of clichés.

    And I reiterate my previous objections as well, as they haven't changed in the prompt.

    The Unspeakable's are researchers, not uber warriors. There is nothing special about them except that they may know some things that most people don't. Not enough to topple anything.

    In canon, certainly. Anything is possible in fanfiction. If you want the unspeakables to be "special op", "black op", etc. wizards, you can do it provided you can write.

    Summer of Change is the only real fic that stands out where Unspeakables are warriors, that's good.

    How about this: Grindelwald is caught be Dumbledore diddling Voldemort’s tight ass. In a fit of Diva!Rage Dumbledore defeats and imprisons Grindelwald.

    Later Grindelwald escapes.

    Potters have triplets! There is a prophesy that the Potter triplets will bring greatness to those whom they love. Dumbledore, Voldemort, and Grindelwald promptly kidnap a P-baby each. They go into hiding tutoring and molesting the kids. When the P-babies finally develop awesome skillz, they slaughter the three Queens on the Wizarding World, and take over.

    Being the narcissistic fucks they, them loves themselves and fuck each other. World Domination ensues.
