* ''Comments'':Ada's Desire chapter 13 . Aug 28: Dumbledore pulled a pretty sneaky move there using Tonks as a distraction. I have to admit when I first read that Dumbledore had been taken captive I remember thinking to myself that it all seemed a bit too easy. The fact that Dumbledore came up with an ambush strategy just proves my point that Harry, while now extremely powerful, clearly lacks the proper experience to deal with other powerful sorcerers. I think you managed to show that very well so good job with that. So Dumbledore is the secret founder of Murkoff, or if not the founder, is at least a major financial backer. Sounds about right. This raises the question of just what else he's up to. If he's involved with something as corrupt as Murkoff then what other forms of muggle groups is he connected too? The blackmail potential is just screaming to be uncovered..Rapture Columbia chapter 2. Dec 14, 2017:Oh my God! I feel like I've been waiting my whole life for a Harry Potter story with Outlast. I have so many questions like Does this mean that Harry's going to eventually become the new Walrider? Is he going to meet Gluskin? And what about Temple Gate?

* ''Synopsis'': On the run, Waylon Park manages the best he can while hiding in foreign locations, and dodging Murkoff agents around every corner. He's been separated from his family and dealing with considerable mental health issues. He thought he was the only survivor of the Mount Massive Asylum riot, until a shadowy man showed up with an ax to grind. But perhaps together they stand a better chance of combining their resources, and finishing the last of Murkoff once and for all. If they don't kill each other, first.
