Love the story. Please update again soon. I am so glad Harry and Severus got back together. Please do something nice for Hermione.

I just sat down and read this fic in two sittings(I had to study, else it would have only been one!)--and I love it. I lovelovelove the humor infused into the earlier chapters as Harry and Severus grow close, with the billywig incident being my favorite, and the angst after the bonding takes place is really, really well crafted--for a while there, it felt like someone was ripping MY heart out and stomping on it.

This is probably one of the most complex Snarry fics I have ever read, and I have to admit I'm always supremely amazed when I read a complex one such as this and love it as much as I do--I'm not a fluff person, per se, and challenging storylines are always wonderful, but it's rare to see it so well-handled when it comes to pairings like Snarry... Am I making sense? I think fanon tendencies to make Severus suddenly super-hot or whatever get in the way of the storyline, and the fact that you had Harry and Severus grow close as friends, then slowly come to love each other, and then have to realize it AND work through having been bonded thanks to Fate without falling into common fanon traps was just amazing.

I've already added this to my favorites list, and I don't normally do that for WIPs. I've also signed up for the story alert, and I am already desperately awaiting an e-mail saying you've updated! Hopefully with winter break coming up(I think I saw something about tests in an author's note...?), you'll have more time to write. I'm selfishly hoping you do!

Thanks so so so much for the awesome entertainment you've provided. I'm off to find another Snarry fic to keep me occupied, but I'm not holding my breath--you've raised the bar so high that I don't know any other fic can really hold my interest for very long :D

I rarely leave reviews, but this was an amazing chapter in a beautiful story. The way you wrote the hospital scene from both points of view really drive home just how lonely both men are. I had tears in my eyes and a smile on my face the whole chapter. Thank you.

its been a long time since i read a fic which truly took the time which you've taken to fully develop love as you have here. Usually people write about sex, or about love as they imagine it would be rather than how it is. i love how you have shown how much of love is just about little touches, about having fun with one another, and about reacting to the other's presence without meaning to. You've shown so clearly how it can happen and you don't even realize. I love this fic, and I hope to see it continued.

It's a bit fast moving I think. But I like the story. <.< I can't give you a well rounded critique yet, I have to finish the story first and reread it again to do that :)

This was delightful! We rarely get to experience our boys just loving and living. Usually, as soon as they find each other, we writers put them in the most excruciating danger or suffer incredible angst--wait, you did that, didn't you?

Then, as soon as they overcome the danger, the story is over! *sob!*

At any rate, after torturing them for lo these many chapters, you are giving them time to sit and learn little facts about each other, make love, snuggle, and just generally adore each other. I really relished this chapter.


Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Yes, you got us there! I was almost weeping with joy, when Severus accepted it all, and when Harry said, "Can we go home now?" I had such a goofy smile on my face!

The reconciliation was so well-written and presented, that it was well worth the wait. I also liked the fact that you ended with Harry falling asleep and having a pleasant dream for a change (but certainly not as pleasant as reality!).

What was particularly compelling was how Severus gave himself permission to go back to Harry, not just out of duty, but because he wanted Harry to be happy. It was incidental that it would also make himself happy, but I smiled at the moment he decided that he could embrace the bonding a little for himself, too.

Well done.

WOW, that's all I can say. Amazing, I cannot wait to see where they go from here. I imagine some awkward moments when they have to leave the dungeons. Interesting to see what happens. Love it though.
