seeing james' ugly side was good. you did really a great job with showing how twisted and complicated a human being is.

You should continue this :)

Wow that was wonderful!!

I now wish I had a maze of light ^^

Great job :)

Wow great job on this piece. Shocking, I never once assumed that James might have been in on the "prank" played on Severus in school, but that was a well written way of showing he could have been.
This whole thing is very great but wow are you ** your characters haha. Great job!!

In light of the end this, like so much else, HURTS. I don't know how to respond to the writing now any more than I did the first time I read it because everything in my head is too busy turning "Damn it, James!" into a mantra. Even more so now. And "oh," and "no," and "please."

yay james finally knows that his wife is a **!! lol

About time James faced the truth. He couldn't have remained ignorant his entire life, and he needed to see that his perfect little world was a complete lie. It will be interesting to see how he reforges his relationships, and the part he will play in future events. An enemy or an ally? Weak or strong? We will see...

this maze you created ^_^ is really awesome, I wouldn't even have thought of it.. Wow.. Nice chapter!

Ouch. That was painful. But good, very good.

Now I wonder how much strength of character James really has won. That is not something that changes from one day to the other, even though a powerful magical artefact was involved. Will he relapse into running away from things that frighten or over-challenge him? How long until his newly found understanding of Harry begins to waver once more?

I wish him good luck and steadfastness. ; )

Totally awesome!

That was well done. It's really good to know what James went through in the maze - it fills in some gaps. Scenes that we knew must have happened but that we'd not seen before.

I almost forgot about this! But I saw it, so I read it before moving on to the fourth installment.

Poor James, but I love the way you portray him as Not the Perfect Parent. It's -real- and that's awesome.

Good job!

My god I've been reading your story line so deeply that I just couldn't stop to review.

This AU is excellent. I find myself thinking about the current plot, the possible future plot, the events of the past that made the characters in your story act the way they did...

all as much as the real series.

You have my highest compliments.

Now on to the next story.

Great one-shot. I'm glad we got to see what happened with James in the maze!! Keep up the good work! ^_^

Excellent ficlet. James grew up- and it was a long time coming. I can't wait to see more interactions between him and Harry. Now I'm off to read "Persuasion" by Jane Austen, which I've neglected because of this series, but rest assured (in spite of the fact that the next few stories are going to be longer than any other fanfic I've read) I WILL READ THEM!

Oh, and another thing, your flamer is nuts. Delete the review. You have every right to write a dark story- and you did warn everyone that it WAS dark- so he or she has no right to complain!
