Before I get into the mushy oh my god what are my feelings DOING section of the comment, I just want to clarify -- have we finally made our way back to the beginnig? It seems to be so but I just wanted to make sure. I feel like you've handled reconciling those begining chapters to this one -- those moments presented in those chapters were Charles and Erik at their most hopeless, their most bleak. This showed that yes, there are unhappy days, but there are happy ones too.

Anyways, FEELINGS: Erik having to hold Charles' hands when he comes into the apartment. Kurt being old enough to enjoy the Chronicles of Narnia. Azazel taking Raven's seat. Charles publishing (!!!!!). Erik reconciling himself with actions that, essentially, mirror the Nazis'. All of these are so perfect and coalesce so exsquisitely that I can't help but gape in awe. I guess this chapter gave you so much trouble because you have so many balls in the air, story-wise. The political and personal really come through as both realistic and relatable.

TL;DR: You are the best.

Yes! Without putting it explicitly into the text (there was no non-awkward way to do it), Part Five follows chronologically from Part One. I'm really glad you think the transition back to there has worked, because that was the biggest challenge, really - getting the tone right and matching it to Part One without losing everything that has happened inbetween and also jumping their dynamic forward four years - aaaah! Hence my beating myself half to death last week writing it and trying to get it right XD

I'm so pleased you liked it that much, thank you, bb. I'm so glad all the different things worked together for you (honestly, when this fic is finished I plan on taking a week off just to stare at the ceiling and play dead.)
