Brilliant! I loved this story, thanks for writing such a thrilling, eloquent, wonderful piece. Your style is excellent, I'll definitely keep my eyes open for more of your work.

This was a great chapter. You have an excellent writing style, and I also very much approve of the hints of philosophy you're embedding in the train of thoughts. Wonderful read.

Hello!
Just a little rev to tell you how much I loved your story!
You distillated angst like a true potion master^^! I loved the way Lucius' goal (break and mend Severus) evolved and reversed...
And the end was great: full of hope for them two...
Would you mind writting a sequel?
See you maybe

Painful, raw, realistic, mindblowing... This is really and incredible work of psychological drama. Thank you for sharing it. -Clare

Your writing is so powerful... I never read slash but I've been reading a bit of LM/HG and SS HG and just kind of wandered into this. It is such a very deep psychological study. There are two lines that for me really broke my heart...
""Don't stop touching me please never stop touching me!" he gasped when Severus freed his mouth.

There was a small, broken sound from deep in Severus' throat, "I never stopped." "

So beautiful. -Clare

Very nice story. Beautiful. Love it. Can't think of anything else to say but that it is truly lovely and fascinating.

Ah, such a good story! I've been listening to Something I Can Never Have by Nine Inch Nails the entire time, and my room is dark as always -- it's such a fitting angst and froth of drama. Very enjoyable.

o-o GOOD STORY. VERY good story. Holy scheisse, very well done.

I thank you very much for this -- partially because it's a lovely story, and partially because my need to wiki Algolagnia caused me to eventually discover that Venus in Furs is, in fact, available at Project Gutenberg. Which is very pleasant information, indeed.

beatuful, bitter sweet

Fantastic story. On the whole very well put together. Realistic character traits, tho not inline with HBP, still very believable.
I noticed some minor gramatical errors, and a case of tense confusion, but other than that, a brilliant work.
I stayed up until 2am last night reading. :D
Keep up the good work.

I'm sad that this is over. It was quite beautiful and I love how much time you took explaining the characters' motivations.

I loved the Hairy McBoon comment!

This was such a wonderful and entertaining story! Bravo!

I so love that Lucius's plan got turned on its ear and that Severus was the one who broke him...even though Severus was broken as well.

Keeper or Chaser, LOL!

I loved the wonderful exchange with Severus and Albus. "This was alarming – formality coupled with a lack of words simply did not happen to the razor-witted Severus." LOL!
