“You might want to grab you brace for this.”
Should be "your"?

Voldemort went on to claim that Harry was now the only remaining horcrux, because in order to use the Stone to regain a body, he needed to reabsorb the others, and that he regained his sanity in the process.
This confused me very much, until I realized that Voldemort regaining his sanity had happened off page already even before he had arrived at the Dursleys’ and thus should be "had needed" and "had regained" (past perfect).

I love the flashback, but I’m not quite sure about the logistics there. This is set in the outskirts of a village in the countryside (woods behind the house), so Mr Rosenberger has a legal reason to possess a rifle or shotgun (to protect his chickens or such), but would he carry it when he visits the neighbors to share brandy and stories? So he ran home to get his firearm, but then arrived at the same time as Ix’s father? Well, finding the man who was trying to find his daughter may have been easier than finding the girl.

During Ix' flashback, wouldn't she be able to identify a wand, or was it a gun?

Sounds like a very evil story.

All right, I promised myself to take reviewing missions more seriously (one of the reasons being I actually want to get good at both writing and helping out), so this is my first shot at an actual, (maybe) helpful, con-crit review:

We started with a nightmare flashback, which showed us the origin story of Ix-Wolf. Now, just from the first paragraph of description I could tell it’s Greyback that bit her. Sounds exactly like the scenario he would choose. I have to commend you on setting up the atmosphere, too. The portrayal of Greyback as cannibalistic and sexually creepy, and his preference for children was shown nicely. However, the scene reminds me of Lupin’s “origin”: Greyback biting him as a revenge for what Lupin’s dad said about werewolves. The changes here were Greyback making a mistake (He probably did bit Caitlyn next month, I assume), and apparently somebody contracting him to do so… Which I don’t know if he would, but that’s just my musings. Also, there is Greyback’s uncertain fate after 1998 (Neville and Ron “brought him down” which could imply anything from imprisonment to slaying), but I’m gonna let it slide.
Lottie being the overly protective Sparklepire girlfriend was really cute, and I approve of it with all my might. And as I said before… Saibhir was a pretty clever reference. I do hate you for the Hair of Slytherin, though, because that’s the worst pun in the history (:P).
(Sidenote: I will kill the author for disrespecting The Merchant of Venice…)

As for the mission itself, it was easy to follow and clear. I like the house-elves disguise; first time seeing it being used, and I think those should be implemented more often. I like how they were forced to do the house-elf speech. You could’ve leave it the second time, though. Felt like something that would come as a price for the disguise (Good Lord, I hope I would never have to disguise as a Gungan). The charges list was quick and simple, and the execution was efficient. It was a good mission.

(Hi, I'm trying to review more!)

I think the flashback was my favorite part of this story. The mission was good, too, but there was such atmosphere and emotion in the flashback, I really got into it. There are limits to how much of that you can do while also sporking badfic.

I honestly don't have anything much to critique. I'd like to tell Charlotte to back off a little, but that's just her character, I think. I can tell she means well and really wants Ix to be happy, but every now and then she goes just a tad further with kissing and whatnot than my introverted self finds to be charming. She still has a thing or two to learn about her partner, I think. {= )

And the basilic made indeed for the perfect kill here. The relationship between Charlotte and Ix is always sweet to see, without being overbearing.

Now, for the flashback/nightmare about Ix's past... Am I the only feeling the urge to hit her 'friend' in the belly, with a spiked bat?

I love these characters, and where you're taking them. Seeing more background for Ix was interesting, and this story did an excellent job of showing that her character has quite a bit of depth- getting a story focused on her was nice, as often as Charlotte tends to steal the show.

The slightly more serious tone of the story fits its focus, and nicely counterbalances the insidiously saccharine feel of the fic you sporked.

And while I won't get detailed here, it made me very curious about the events that were hinted at in the opening, all those years ago.

Looking forward to more from these guys.

We got some more insight in Ix (and the poor girl surely had it hard), and the badfics was... really, really idiotic. Good work on the takedown, I really like the use of the Basilisk.

Now, a little nitpick:

"After Ix revived Snape and wiped his memory and they dug Harry and Voldemort out of their respective plotholes,"

Hm, I think there is a bit of a run-on here?

He was born of a love potion correct? Isn't it canon for those born under the affects of one to have zero clue when it comes to love of any kind?

I mean it's uncanon for him to show love to anyone considering he didn't even want friends,but it might be even more canon breaking if it's something that's not even possible in canon even if he wasn't the dark lord?
