I love the head elf - he is an interesting original character with the clothes and his speach. I loved the emotion that the elves showed while they worried for Lucius - it shows how much he had changed. The last part has me stumped - I guess Lucius and Severus have been intimate by the way that you wrote it at some point in the past.

Response from ancientgirl (Author of A Tale of Two Men)

I wanted this story to give the reader a different look at some characters.  I wanted to do things that was not expected of them.Yes, in this story Lucius and Severus had a past love affair.  I made sure to give the reader fair warning in one of the coming chapters.  There isn't a lot of full blown sex in this story, but I wanted to warn just in case.

Great chapter - I loved how Lucius and her just sat in the room - long enough to fool Voldemort. Great writing with the throw in about Severus showing Hermione what he feels for her and soon.

10/10

Interesting plot twist - how will Voldemort react when Lucius goes back after he wanted him back - will he take him back into the fold? What will the Death Eaters do - seeing Voldemort killing his most faithful for little reason? How will they get the last Black key back? All interesting turns for you the author to deliver to us - good work.

Response from ancientgirl (Author of A Tale of Two Men)

Other Death Eaters seeing the killing of their own for stupid reasons is really one of the very important things in this story.

10/10

What an ending - claps and cheers for the chapter alone. I loved how even in death Narcissa told Voldemort off and that we shall see. Such great defiance and wonderful tension in the plot. I loved the whole idea that Narcissa had slipped him the Black's key and it was a portkey. Wonderfully creative.

Response from ancientgirl (Author of A Tale of Two Men)

Thank you.  I'm glad you liked this chapter.  It's really a great chapter for the beginning of many things to come.

10/10

ladyluv

All the plotting and planning and the crazyness of Voldemort made this an interesting chapter. I loved how you showed that Narcissa did not willing betray Lucius and her son for the Dark Lord but did so to protect them. Narcissa sacrificing her own life for them was a great touch. It brought a tragic and heartfelt feel to the chapter. Good job.

Response from ancientgirl (Author of A Tale of Two Men)

I wanted to add some new things in this story, things I'd never read in any other fiction.  I liked the idea of Narcissa being a strong woman and doing what she needed to keep her family safe.

10/10

ladyluv

Good chapter - loved how you set-up Lucius helping Severus and then the whole scene at the castle where Severus kissed Hermione's hand and she then kissed him - slow romance bubbles nicely. Creatively written and very entertaining.

10/10

ladyluv

Oh I am so glad to find this story - what an interesting plot with many twist and turns in just the first chapter. I loved the whole set-up of how Lucius turned against Voldemort with him knowing. A spell to penetrate the mind - crap - Severus is in trouble

Response from ancientgirl (Author of A Tale of Two Men)

This is the last story I wrote.  I consider it my swan song and it's one of my favorite.  I hope you enjoy it.

This was a fascinating story. I love the way you portrayed the Lestranges and the fact that Bellatrix saved Neville's life.

Response from ancientgirl (Author of A Tale of Two Men)

Thank you for taking the time to read the entire story.  Of all my stories, this has to be in the top 3 of my favorites.  I wanted to do something with the Lestranges that I hadn't seen done before, and that gave me the opening to do something really wonderful.I'm happy you have enjoyed reading this.

I waited to review until I read all of the chapters   THIS STORY ROCKED!!!! I love the fact that peace was made between the weaslys and malfoys!!   very well written!!

Response from ancientgirl (Author of A Tale of Two Men)

I'm glad you enjoyed this. This was one of my favorite stories to write.  I enjoyed it immensly.  It turned into more than I originally started out to make.  As I said in one of my last authors notes, I started writing about two men, and wound up writing about the journey of three.  Writing Rodolphus was just too much fun.

Bravo!  Excellent ... a wonderful read

This was a fascinating story.  I do believe it is the first time I've ever seen a GW/LM pairing.  I would never have even considered it before and now I wonder if there are any others out there. 

Response from ancientgirl (Author of A Tale of Two Men)

Thank you for taking the time to read the entire story.


I'm sure there have to be GW/LM out there.  To me it was a more natural fit, much like HG/SS.

This chapter really shows the love those two guys have for their women.  I wish my husband would think along those lines.  Not that he doesn't love me, just that he don't have not one romantic bone in his body. lol  But thats ok, at least he puts up with me. lol  Sorry back to your review.  Voldie is so going down.  I just hope no one on the side of good dies.  That would suck.

Response from ancientgirl (Author of A Tale of Two Men)

LOL, I think we would all love men like these.  Heck, at least you've got a hubby that puts up with you.

I really love the Wizardopoly scene.  And Neville,  you have to love his weakling butt.  lol  And he is now afraid of Lucius too.  Too funny.  Or does he think he can give Lucius a run for his money with Ginny?  Keep dreaming, Neville.

Response from ancientgirl (Author of A Tale of Two Men)

Neville competition for Lucius, um...no.

oh my this story keeps getting better and better.  I cryed reading the Neville/Bella pair.  Truly too sad.  The crazier Voldiebutt loses it the more in his ranks turn against him.  You are brilliant.

Response from ancientgirl (Author of A Tale of Two Men)

I wanted to redem some Death Eaters in this story.  I thought it might make for a more interesting plot.

oh no not Neville.  I don't want to think about it, so I won't.  I love the lemons.  funny how now what Ginny saw turns her on. go figure. lol

Response from ancientgirl (Author of A Tale of Two Men)

I'm glad you liked the lemons.  I always have problems writing them.

I can see why this is one of your favorite stories. 

Response from ancientgirl (Author of A Tale of Two Men)

Thanks.  I put a lot into this story.  Since I knew it would probably be the last one I'd write in this genre, I wanted to make it really good and different.

Oh my what a chapter.  Now that the girls know, what will the guys do? I can't wait to find out.  Isn't it going to look strange that Dolohov is missing while keeping an eye on Severus?  I'm sure he will come up with a really good excuse.

10/10

Arabella Bloodgood

Yea Severus kill his sorry butt.  Draco took the news rather well.  Still wonder how the girls will take their news.

Response from ancientgirl (Author of A Tale of Two Men)

Too bad he didn't know who he was really messing with.

Arabella Bloodgood

Voldiebutt always had bad timing.  Thats why he never wins. lol  Of course Hermione is worried.  Wouldn't you be worried if your man went off to a madman and you just got start in your relationship.  And poor Ginny she was just getting ready to lock lips with Mr. Blonde Hottie, when the git monster had to go and ruin it.  How rude.

10/10

Arabella Bloodgood

Ahh  Lucius is trying to keep Molly from hurting worst than she already does.  That's sweet.  And Ron is finally coming around to the way of things.  Good its about time.  He always was a little slow.

Response from ancientgirl (Author of A Tale of Two Men)

Yes, at least this time he saw the truth before overreacting.

This chapter rocks.  Everything is falling into place nicely.

Response from ancientgirl (Author of A Tale of Two Men)

Yes, little by little things will start falling into place.
