I may attempt to go back and make it more explicit somewhere that Harry researched the Deathly Hallows (of course, he’s not stupid) and found out at least the basic rumors. Hermione learned about the Cloak from An Illustrated Scroll of Lost Devices during their research, for example.
Thanks, I think it’s just the fact that a lot of people who never really got into the canon are reading MOR, so plot points that can pretty much go unstated in regular fanfiction have to be re-introduced here. I know a lot of implications/references are lost on me because I’m reading fanfiction without actually being, well, a fan.
It can also be an issue even for canon-knowledgeable readers. A lot of the time readers are used to Harry’s thought processes happening in the absence of certain key knowledge from canon (the Philosopher’s Stone, etc.), so it’s jarring when Harry learns major pieces of information offscreen (the Marauder’s Map, etc.)
I think you should at least give a link to the relevant Youtube clip in A/N. I’m not sure readers unfamiliar with canon fully understand what is going on concerning Peverell brothers.
For those who are here and are unfamiliar with canon, I believe BT_Uytya meant this YouTube clip, or a similar one like it; as far as I know, none of them are authorized by Warner Bros. or J.K. Rowling, but may be short enough to qualify as fair use in many jurisdictions. I am not a lawyer.

It’s a gorgeous video.
Yes, it was this video I had in mind.
