I love this!

It's hard to find actual literature - either canon or fanon - that properly explores the real reasons behind Erik's motivations, and I think you did it wonderfully. It was beautifully written, and it made me feel so sad for a character that I actually feel really stupid for having not given a proper look into until about a week ago. : You definitely fed my insatiable desire to read more about him now that I've devoured all of the character summaries and comics I could find!

I'm definitely adding this to favorites. It's so wonderful and marvelous! Poor Magneto, he really does have a sad, sad life.

Wonderful, wondwrful story! I absolutely LOVE Erik and I really felt for him. There aren't many fics like this one wich aren't action or some plotless angst. And there certainly aren't many including Magda.
Well done!

All I can say is this: Wow.
My friend Gale linked me to this story and I'm glad she did. You sir have written a masterpiece. I am impressed.
I particularly love the Magnus here. This isn't the all singing all dancing dictator of the world here; this is a flawed, very real MAN trying to figure it all out. This is what I needed to read as I do my work for both Gale and my own stuff.
Brava, amigo. I'll be keeping an eye on you.

That was excellent, the lines at the begining are perfect Magnus.

This story was great keep up the good work!

An exquisitely-crafted look into the heart of a complex and tragic character, and the turn of events that could have changed the whole course of his life. Thank you for sharing - and for reminding me just why Magneto fascinates me.

This is a wonderful story.

I'm actually crying my eyes out right now. You've done it again, Alara. Just what I've been hoping to see.

Wonderful study of a truly facinating character. Everything was true to form. On a scale of one to ten, I'd give it an easy twelve.
