Summary: There once was a tale of three brothers and the gifts bestowed upon them by Death. Such a tale is one of intrigue, of adventure, of tragedy. Such a tale is a lie. Or; a story of time travel, genocide, and a boy who just wants to live.

This might be among the best Marvel HP crossover fics I've found(not that it is particularly hard). Good points first- a realistic portrayal of characters, good language and grouping, a tale of super!Harry coming into his power, an intriguing integration of

,

However, there are a lot of detrimental issues too. It continues with MCU's 'hooman awsum' wank as muggle wank. Wizards are shown as foolish and sentimental. The fight scenes attempted much, but achieved little.

is played up. Death exists as a being.

Spoiler

Harry meeting Doctor Erskine and him escaping from the wizards in the past

was not very properly done.

Hopefully, muggle superiority is just a consequence of character PoV.

EDIT: Rating:3.5/5 rounded upward to 4/5

 

I went 6 chapters in. And then I just couldn't read any more. The issue with this fic is that it's just walls of text describing an angsty Harry who's in denial of what or who he is. There's long stretches in which Harry does nothing more than try to ignore his powers. He lives like a muggle. Surrounded by a bunch of OCs who I don't really care about at this stage. That's honestly not very interesting to read. And he's depressed while he's doing it. I mean, I get what the author is trying to portray, but there's a lot of tell and no show. That makes the story quite uninteresting. I know he's befriended Dr. Erskine and Steve Rogers is likely to come into the story soon. But honestly? The story's already lost me.

I'll give it a 2.5/5 rounded down because the writing is technically good, but doesn't draw you in.

 

It's rough, its really super fucking hard to read just due to the sheer blandness. Like the first dozen chapters are just Harry slowly gaining the trust of the scientist due, and nothing else. Maybe it picks up later but I have neither the time nor the inclination to read anymore of it.

3/5
