very well done. I like the way you manage to go back and forth between the two time frames. I am also surprised this is so under reviewed, of course the reposting no doubt dropped some.

Very nicely done. When my friend told me that her favorite writer of Holmes/Russel fan fiction had written a Snape story, I had to check it out. I was not disappointed.

This is just... Wow. As brutal as it sounds, I truly thought I would hate it. Like most older HP fans (and some younger), I have very little tolerance for fanfictions where Snape is paired with an original character. More often than not, they turn out to be shallow, horribly-written Mary Sues. But, as this trilogy was recommended, I read on, and I am duly impressed.

This whole piece is solid, through and through, obviously researched and revised tediously (for instance, the trichotomy of titles you chose for Part One). Your characterization of Snape is incredibly in-depth and real. I can think of no better cliche than "you bring him to life" on the page, and the same, I am forced to admit, goes for your OC. As well as Dumbledore. :) Their dialogue and description are not only witty and entertaining but also true to character, sometimes revealing another layer. Snape and Maud seem to interact on a relatively equal level, both capable of holding their own and understanding the other, allowing for a good foundation to build on. This was very carefully crafted - an all-around success and a pleasure to read.

"As a reprimand, Severus, your detention-granting privileges are temporarily revoked." - Haha! This was a gem. Leave it to Dumbledore to find a punishment that would actually -punish- Snape.

This was the first fanfiction I ever read, and it's still one of the best. it only set my standards very high, when I continued into the world of fanfiction. I take one of the best back. it's THE best Harry Potter fanfic I have ever read.

Hi, Rebecca! I didn't realize you'd re-done PMA - how wonderful that I can enjoy it all over again! I do think it's stronger, so far. Not that I was complaining before, mind you. But in this first section, a few things are clearer to me now, that I thought before was just me not understanding something. I look forward to (re-)reading parts 2 and 3!

As usual, this rewrite was absolutely astounding, although I didn't see too much difference from the last time I read it. Anyway, I'm glad to be able to read a revised version, because I truly admire your talents. This is one of the best Harry Potter fanfics I have ever read.

I'm so happy to see this back up and reworked. This is my favorite fanfic of all time and I was very excited to see that you've updated it. Thank you!

In the first chapter (since I already reviewed it I can't add this..) should artefact be spelled artifact?? Or have you got a different dictionary than me? (That may very well be the case..) Brilliant story, have I mentioned that? I'm you greatest fan coz I'm the only one who has reviewed yet.. Yeah.. :D I really don't care I just love reading this and I thought I'd tell you how much I enjoyed it. Over. and Over. and Over.. *evil giggles*

*Does the first-reviewer dance* I get to be the first reviewer! Yay!
...Ok now that that's over.. I've loved this story for a really really long time and when the fanfiction bot flooded my inbox with new chapters and stories from you I was kind of confused. "Wait.. I've read these before.. Has the bot gone insane?" But you're revamped and revised and now I get to read them all over again. I kind of wish I had saved the old ones though because I can't remember what's different in these.. Just part of my craziness, I'd like to see which parts you've improved.
This is still the best story in the entire world.
I love you!
