I didn't even think of using a Potterverse spell. To be fair, my agents didn't have wands with them anyway.
And thanks for reading! I'm glad you liked the tiny moments, especially the ending.
In which Agents May and Melissa embark on a journey to Middle-earth involving elven S&M, canon-mangling, cruel and unusual punishments, a hunt for house-elves, judo, lots of rage, and a truly heinous Sue.
Many thanks to my pal Larf for betaing, and to Zingenmir for helping me name my latest recruit.

I feel like I've maybe said this before on one of your missions, but I'll say it again: I love how much you make this feel like a classic TOS-era mission. Especially impressive considering the NSFW subject matter, which Jay and Acacia and their contemporaries rarely ever touched. But the lust object moment, the getting spotted by canon characters and having to escape, and one partner having to restrain their partner from attacking the Sue early, all classic stuff that I love seeing in modern missions still.
I loved the gag with all the house elves accidentally getting yanked out of the Wizarding World. I also appreciated the assassination method; I have a weird fan love for the lobstrosities, despite what they did to Roland. This was a much more acceptable person for them to be swarming over!
I also liked that you treated the disillusionment and recruitment of Faelwen with an appropriate amount of serious emotion. I know we're primarily a humor community, but sometimes the reality of a situation needs to be apparent on the page. I hope Faelwen and the other elf do well in Headquarters!

As usual, thanks for the feedback, Doc - I'm really glad you took the time to read this one, as I feel that this is where my style really started to become solid after my first few missions. And yes, I do seem to write a lot of TOS-style stories; Zingenmir said the same about my next mission that he's currently betaing. I do read all sorts of PPC fiction now, but I started out with the older stuff, and writers like Jay and Acacia or Trojie and Pads really influenced the way I approach missions. I'm glad that it works in my writing; and I'm really glad that you appreciated Faelwen's scenes. I have quite a lot of plans for her character.
Also, I agree with you on the lobstrosities. :P I always appreciate unique monsters. And it's good to find a fellow Dark Tower fan here.
That was a lot of fun to read. I like the character dynamic, the creative metaphors that they use, and the epilogue was quite wholesome.
I'm glad you had fun with this mission. Despite how terrible the fic itself was, it was a lot of fun writing it, too.
Sometimes I wonder what is wrong with some writers...
It's nice to see the poor ocs rescued, at least.
I can't believe I'm still having to say this to y'all Discord-goers, but we absolutely do not attack the authors when sporking badfic, ever.
I really like the improvised Anti-Lustin substitute! Sometimes you just need to remember something very disgusting.
I also appreciate the distinction between OCs and Sues. ^^
Surprised canon wasn't bent enough for "Accio, House-Elf!" to work, or something like that.
And yes, that is SUCH an adorable ending!

Just from reading the mission ... your poor agents.
I'm sending them some Bleeprin and alcohol so they can forget all this.
The epilogue was nice and heartwarming, and I think this is overall a good mission - though I don't really have detailed SPaG comments or the like at the moment.

It's great you liked the epilogue - I'm glad I managed to write a more touching moment after the more comedic stuff I've done before.
Also, thanks for the supplies, my agents do need it after this. I'd like to say this is the worst fic I'll ever have them mission, but... hoo boy. I have a talent for finding the squickiest stuff. Just wait and see what I have queued up for their next assignment.
