Bookmarker's Notes
Im such a sucker for a well-thought-out powerful Harry, this is an absolute treat.
I loved Harry getting to know his mind and the idea of having aspects of our subconscious mind be represented by people in various ages and states of health. It's amazing to see Harry nurturing certain parts of him and the vital rile that Loyalty, Knowledge and Protectiveness, but also his Slytherin aspects play in advising him. The death of Innocence at 4 and lack of Love was devastating, but absolutely understandable.
The personifications of family magics and Corvus (ha! Raven symbol of the Black magic) were a nice addition to the advisory board 😂 Oh and the scene of Harry breaking the memory wall was absolutely enraging. No shit, he reminds you of Tom, Dumbledore, you basically engineered another Tom if Harry was a slightly worse person. Ugh.
The way magical cores are represented by the colors and the way Severus' magic gets woven into it during their binding was beautiful.
Ahhh, the danger of WIP is that this story will stay niggling unfinished in my mind for a while and I can only hit he subscribe button and hope ❤️

Bookmarker's Notes
This story has occupied my days and nights almost non-stop for days and nights since I have discovered it. It feels so bittersweet to read the ending.
I don't think I have ever read a canon-compliant story quite as masterfully done as this one.
It has everything: love and longing, pain and heartache, incredible personal growth, amazing secondary characters (kinky/insightful Ginny, persistent David, loving Coven, Harry's Aurors, Slytherin Lily, lovable Pharao) and hot, erotic, sensual sex scenes that make your ties curl and everything in between.
I spent so much of the time reading either giggling/grinning or with a knot longed in my throat, aching for the two lovers to finally find their way back to each other where they belonged. He's, they have lived a full life in the intervening 20 years, but there was always a hole, an expectation there that finally resolved itself when Severus stopped running from himself.
I'm incredibly thankful to the author for this remarkable story that I will probably reread quite a few times in the years to come.
I can feel a big story hangover coming on where I don't know what to do with myself and keep coming back to the heroes of this story again and again unable to read anything else, but this was so worth it!

Summary
“I had to,” Alec insists. “I know I hurt him. By the Angel, I know, and I hate it, but I had to. He was so broken, I had to do something, I had to fix it. And I can’t tell him about the deal, because that was part of it. That was one of the conditions. Magnus can’t know.”
“No.” The look Catarina gives him makes Alec’s chest tighten in fear. “Alec, Magnus doesn’t have any memories of you anymore. He has no idea who you are.”
***In which Magnus removes his memories of Alec, Alec swallows the pain of Magnus’ obliviousness to their shared past, and the devil is in the details (literally).
(AKA the canon-divergent 3x19 rewrite, because it disappointed me.)

Summary
Will Graham thought learning that the man who raised him wasn't his biological father was the worst thing to ever happen to him, until he sees his birth father, Dr. Hannibal Lecter, on the news, unveiled to the world as Hannibal the Cannibal, a sadistic serial killer with a taste for human flesh.
When a man is found murdered exactly like one of Lecter's previous victims, FBI Agent, Jack Crawford asks Will to interview the notorious killer. Will accepts out of a desire to get to know the man who sired him. Unfortunately, Lecter is very keen to get to know him as well.
