This is such an amazing piece. I know it's late but can we still expect an epilogue?

What just happened?

I'm super confused.

This chapter didn't make much sense at all :(

Wow, this was enthralling and I just don't get how not many reviews are here. Phew, this aside i am do creativity blocked that i can't imagine anymore in this universe, si please do guide me.

The power play in this has me drooling. Hermione definitely planned all of this. She is the most powerful out of the three of them and controls their fates. Damn. I LOVE this.

YES! Please post an epilogue, I'm just dying to know what exactly Hermione meant by that... I adore your story and want to thank you for being such a generous author!

Love,
Rose

I know it’s been a while but I do hope you’ll get to writing that Epilogue! :)

My interpretation of this is that Hermione is actually the most powerful among her, Grindelwald and Tom. She was the one who led Grindelwald to great power, but when he became too hungry for it, she left his cause and he got hospitalized for being too “crazy”. And I feel the same thing will happen to Ron; she “made” him successful in his career, but upon their separation, his career will probably follow the same downfall. That’s why Grindelwald was warning Tom against her. Once Grindelwald and Ron, and now even Tom, have decided / will decide that they want power or success - and in tom’s case, immortality - more than they want Hermione, that’s when their success goes to shit. That’s why Hermione told Tom in the beginning that they wouldn’t be good, because she knew of his aspirations. And in the end, she confirmed with him if he wanted her or immortality more.

Really like to see this summed up, and to know if Tom does botch up his plans for immortality or if he’s able to achieve that and stay with Hermione! Happy writing!

I like this, but am really confused. Soooo many questions: Did Hermione orchestrate the whole relationship by placing dreams into young Tom's head? Did Hermione control Grindelwald? What does Hermione having done this three times mean? Three lives? Three mates?(and if yes, ewww why Ron?) and will her clock ever restart? I'm not sure what made her old clock die if Ron cheated three months prior, and she didn't kiss Tom until after it had already stopped. I thought the burning was someBella did to her for awhile. But if Tom is just another in a chain of people she gives immortality, then why is he related to her clock? And why Ron?

I really, really, thoroughly enjoyed the flip in power dynamics towards the end there. I mean, the back and forth tug-o’-lust-and-feelings was entertaining in the first few chapters, and the growing clarity of Tom’s instability was thrilling...but the way we slowly found Hermione wasn’t just being manipulated? That she wasn’t some lamb being led to slaughter? Nice. So nice. I loved it. Especially considering the usual power dynamics in fics centered round this pairing. It was extremely refreshing and exciting to see Hermione giving Tom reason to be wary, and having a life/secrets outside of his influence.

Thanks so much for writing and sharing!

that's the end? ahhhhhh! what HAPPENS I'm SURELY going to DIE if I don't know. I can feel my heart stoppppinnn... x_x

no really this is just too addicting. I'm literally going through medication withdrawal because my pharmacy screwed up. this medication withdrawal is considered by doctors on par with cocaine withdrawal. not that I have gone through cocaine withdrawal so I wouldn't know. but I'm feeling pretty shity. but your story is keeping me feeling pretty great so thank you. I really appreciate it.

But how? How can she make him immortal? Is that something sure just can do naturally? I mean it must be otherwise all the other hinted you left about her life wouldn't make sense. Her having parents implies that she is not older than she seems. Her only being familiar with 2 magical persons besides herself speaks against multiple reincarnations and extensive life experience.
I wish you wold have expanded on that.

Very interesting! I'm not sure if I understand the whole last part, but it was intriguing. It feels like both Tom and Hermione are hiding their real aspirations, but they also fit so perfectly together. The soul mate idea is also really interesting!

This is fascinating. I would love an epilogue because there is a lot that is left unclear, especially about Hermione. I suppose her healing powers are the key to immortality. But I have found the reversal of her character in this chapter to be so sudden!

This was so good to read. I love this (somewhat) dark and powerful Hermione. Can we get an epilogue? Thank you for writing this.

Great story!

Yessssss this is so GOOD. Definitely write an epilogue please.
