This was lovely. I loved how Severus worked hard and failed at the end. It could have certainly been canon! It would explain his bitterness and devotion to the late Lily. I also liked that James was portrayed as somewhat petty under his reasoning of "never breaking his promise of 'not to tell'." Ingenious! Good job. Definitely one good read.

The worst I can say is that the characters don't align with their respective portrayals in the novels, which is hardly a criticism seeing as this was posted 11 years ago. It's occasionally difficult to follow, more because it's not written in front of me than actual clarity.

Other than that? You manage to hit the full spectrum of emotions and make something that's altogether enjoyable to read. Well done.

*blinks away tears*

A love like no other, truly. It lent that already poignant scene in the last movie so much depth. Utterly beautiful.

Gosh, I feel like a broken record, reviewing each of the stories you've written with some variant of "this is one of the best things I've ever read in my history of FF.net reviewing, ever." But it's true. A dress made from the lining of a cloud! A cloud! This is so beautiful! And true to character, as we knew the characters when this was written. You are elevated to the status of all-but-Rowling in my fanfiction ratings.

this is beautiful...that's all I can seem to say, it blew me away. So otherworldly and yet, when you talked about the ratings, perfectly grounded in reality...just humorous enough and universal and again beautiful.

This was beautiful. Completely different from anything I've read, but it has that humorous, tragic feel that embodies Severus Snape. Absolutely breathtaking. And how on earth did you come up with this?

That was absolutely brilliant. Beautifully written and very poetic.

I'd read this years ago and decided to find it again because it's so good.

wow. that was brilliant and beautiful. very nice fic!

absolutely amazing. thank you.

Wow. Just wow. This one-shot was perfectly lovely, I must say. Your characterization of Snape was just... incredible. I can't help but feel as if Lily was a little undeserving of his affections. Might I lure you into writing more of this to prove me wrong? Ah, I'm not that serious about it... I think it's pretty much wonderful just as it is. :)

This was so sad! You were really deep this this one! I doff my cap to you! x

There are not words with enough beauty to describe this story. I ache for Severus.

I can't emphasise enough on how brilliant that was...beautifuly written and so genuinely interesting that I was completely engrossed. I'd love to read more by you!

Lovely. Slight disturbing and heartwrenching and lovely.
