timepiececlock: (Luna's diary)

After nearly a year, God of the Lost has been updated.

It is, bar none, the finest Harry Potter fic I have ever read. It's one of the finest adventure fanfictions I have ever read. It is the scariest fanfiction I have ever read. (Just thinking about the frogs or the unicorns makes me want to seriously freak out. THIS FIC RUINED UNICORNS FOR ME.)

I am fanatically pleased that it's still in progress. Because we're building to a climax and I've got emotional investment in the outcome.

(It took 19 chapters but I finally realized what the title meant. Whee!)


Thing to know: Technically it's labelled HG/DM, but really, that's a misnomer. This is pretty damn far from romantic. It's... insane and scary and brilliant and reads like a fucking roller coaster. Half the story's about those two and their battle for survival, and the other half's about Hogwarts. Imagine full-scale interhouse war. Out of even the teacher's control. Now take what you just imagined, and make it five times cooler.

That's this fic.

Screw book 6. Book 6 was good, but if it had been half as awesome as God of the Lost, JKR's already happy pocketbook would have grown to three times its size.

Aha! It works now. The last time I tried, the story might have been too new.

Good! Here's something I figured out: whenever that happens, make a note of the address bar. The url contains the story ID number. Or, if it goes to the most recent chapter, which may be too new, you can simply replace the last digit in the url, chapter number, with 1 and it will take you to the first chapter instead.

Imagine full-scale interhouse war.

*drools* Now you make me want to read it. That's what I was hoping for in Book 6. Something a lot darker and terrifying. The fight scene with the DEs at the end was pathetic.
