And once again, Halcyon takes a dump on the power of love.
Well. This is JUST PEACHY.

Got an email alert—dum dum dum, Halcyon updated that stupid Ring of Ancients fic again. Fart. Well, nothing you can do for it. And, since I'm silly like that and like to archive the worst of the worst so I can mock them later and format them like mad (since that's the only way I'll ever read them), I went to his homepage. And what should I find but YET ANOTHER story in the works!

</blockquote>Harry Potter and the Forgotten Realms
He is destined for something greater in scope than can be imagined. He is a nexus. A confluence. His choices a catalyst for events that that will lead to the deliverance of two Realms from the shadow.

More of his stupid “Harry Potter = Fantasy = D&D/LotR/World of Warcraft/Star Wars” logic which everyone knows doesn’t work, as the magic in those stories is quite often part of a religious order and somewhat mystical, while the magic in Harry Potter is just, you know—magic. There are no mitochondria or midichlorides or whatever the hell they are involved, nor are there friendly or evil spirits that channel magic, nor do the wizards commune with nature and allow the trees to assist them. It’s just magic. So, I open it up and ho ho, the first half of it is nothing but plagiarism from the first chapter of HPPS/SS. So far, so Halcyon. Then I get to this part.


My fascination with your Realm did not leave me however. And so I would return from Faerun on occasions. When I met and befriended Lily I would return to her during the Summers where I would teach her of the Arcane in the manner of my people. I wish to remain modest, but I will say that some of her prodigious skill in matters of the Arcane can be laid squarely on my doorstep. What was that wonderful expression I heard: ‘A Teacher shows his student the right door, but it is the student who has to go through.’.

She was such. And it is most likely thanks to her further experimentation with the Arcane, building from the little of what I taught her, that she invoked the ancient magicks that I had not seen since the days of the first rise of the Illefarn Empire, roughly ten thousand years ago, by timekeeping on Earth. It was this, which caused the Death Curse to rebound on its caster…</blockquote>
Bolded and underlined mine.

I know we always talked about how this idiot missed the entire point of the HP books, but I’ve never seen him so blatantly show it until now. Book VII is out—but it’s been established since Book Frickin’ I that Lily stopped the AK with her sacrifice and love, inadvertently invoking love magic. SACRIFICE AND LOVE. She didn’t cast a spell when she did it—all it took was her begging Voldemort to kill her first, even though she had a chance to step out of the way (Thank you, Snape—that was sweet of you).

So now, he decides to come in and stick some random Elf in the middle of it all, saying that HE taught her how to do that? Saying it was this stupid magic from another canon that did it and completely taking love out of the equation?

Lord Voldemort would be proud.
