Along with the appearance of Mr. Hat and Cloak, it was yet another moment that made me feel highly disappointed that (I had become aware that) WoG had explicitly stated Q=V. It used to be very fun to consider and compare the possibilities of Q being V versus Q not being V and EY being messing with readers versus some third option such as an ongoing conflict between Q and V's personalities in the same body.

I don't suppose Memory Charms are available IRL?

EDIT: After reading chapter 37, squeeing, and promptly running off to TVTropes to list it as a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming, I would like to state that the above disappointment has significantly increased.

I recently had reason to use it for that purpose. I don't recommend it, and it only takes out a few hours anyway.
