GOD, THERE IS SO MUCH TOM AND DUMBLEDORE FIC TO BE WRITTEN. SWEET FUCKING JESUS, WHY DO I HAVE TO GO BACK AND READ HBP AND ALL THAT STUFF TO GET THE PROPER CONTEXT AND FEEL? GODDAMN.
Harry as an amalgam of Dumbledore and Riddle -- BRILLIANT. Holy shit. That's the perfect way to situate him. And I've been trying to figure out whether the Three Brothers story can be viewed as an analogy to the present day, like with Harry as the youngest brother who gets it right and . . . Tom as the first brother, who wants to conquer death with magic? And Dumbledore, who wants to conquer death by remedying the errors of the past?
The Boy Who Lived title gets to be kind of interesting in light of how Harry wins his final victory over Voldemort.
