brilliant 3

this is one of the best one shots i have ever had the plesure of reading.

Wow... Why doesn't this story have like a million reviews?

it's amazing, i think the first ever post-hbp story i've read in which snape is still snape! and your harry... i am enchanted

wow, the whole setting, dark but not omniously so and the way they talk... it's so amazing.

oh this made me happy ) thank you

This is such a tidy piece that packs a punch. Each description is on the mark; nothing is superfluous. What a wonderful read.

absolutely beautiful!

This story was gritty and realistic. It works on so many levels!

You have Snape's voice down perfectly. The proper enunciation, the careful choice of words.

I almost had tears in my eyes by the end of the story. Your Harry/Snape stories are love stories with a heart.

Keep up the good work!

that was amazing. this is the first time i've read snape/harry. i've never been convinced it could work, but this is so well written, and so sweet. snape actually seems to thaw slowly, naturally. well done.

I've read this story about 5 or 6 times since you put it up, and it's just as good every time.

just wanted to tell you it's a brilliant story.

Hm - very good, and quite prescient as it turned out, I mean as regards Harry having to die and un-die, and his reluctance to kill. Would that canon Harry had been as bad at casting Crucio.

This OS was nothing short of GENIUS! So so so beautiful, the dialogues were raw and sore, abrasive.

The plot was clever and it all made sense.

The war was more realistic than in DH and the end was happy without being cheesy!

What a bloody achievement! Loved the swearing, too.

You made my day, honest. I read this on the Berlin public transport and missed my stops a few times!

Thank you thank you, please write more, you have talent.

Oh my goodness! This is such a beautiful story! I almost cry at the end. It's beautifully laid out and written. I adore the interaction and conversation between Harry and Severus, and the way they grew on each other. I am extremely touched after reading this story. Thank you for writing it!

Oh wow! You have no idea just how powerful this was.

I LOVED THIS STORY. I WOULD LOVE TO READ A SEQUEL

Very well-written! Graphic and interesting! Good job :)

I absolutely love this story!
