A twisted sort of love story, pieced together from the uncandied letters of a man who loved and lost thrice.

Wait -- what kind of letters, now?

(Maybe the author meant "not sugarcoated"?)

"uncandied" LOL

I know we all make mistakes like this, but some are definitely more amusing than others.

Ya know, in the HP 'verse, I could totally see there being something like "candied letters". (-:

Uncandied, wot?

[inamac.livejournal.com]

Presumably the opposite of 'candid' letters (full of circumlocution and falsehood? Is this an Albus/Grindlewald fic?)

(I'd assume an autocorrect of 'unedited', but does any dictionary have 'uncandied' as an option?)

Thank you for the laugh.

I wondered that, but no, these are apparently Severus's letters being talked about (the "thrice" would seem to be Lily, James, and Harry). There's only one chapter in the story so far and it's not epistolary, so... hard to tell, but I doubt "un-candid" is really what's meant in that case. A gaffe for "unedited" is a good suggestion, but yeah, "uncandied"? If I type that into Google it in fact assumes I must have meant "uncandid" and gives me those results instead. So.... I dunno.
