Beautiful plot and amazingly in-character for everyone. I especially like the added Marietta part.

Just read this on AFF dot net and then left a review on your LJ but then saw the link *here* so I figured I'd fave the story here so I can find out when you update. LOVE this story so far. You have totally pulled me into the slow progression of Snape's progress, Harry getting closer to him, and Snape's dependence/crush. I really cannot wait for more, it's wonderful.

Thanks you so much for sharing it!

Yes, Hermione is right. A lot of things never come out until you feel you're truly safe. And even then, it's hard. Snape is trying to avoid Harry because he _doesn't_ want to snap, either. And he's right, too--anytime someone was nice to him, he either lost it or found out it was done to use him.

"Given how he spent the last seven years, something like this was bound to happen sooner or later.”--More like all of Snape's life, really. Considering that, Snape is actually far more strong and closer to normal than a lot of people would be given how little love he's ever really known, and how much he ended up giving to those who treated him like dirt. His upbringing and treatment at Hogwarts, and later, his treatment by both sides, was the kind that usually generates DE's or Dark Lords.

Sorry for the lack of reviews, but I'm back now.

Oh, the way their relationship goes... it's really nice as it flows slowly, despite Severus tantrums and Harry naivety towards Severus romantic feelings for him.

Marieta is also very well used in the story, as well as Neville, which is a good surprise to me.

Keep on going, and i'm awaiting more chapter, k?

I so much love this story.. I love it enough to read it to a friend of mine, who is neither into slash, nor into fanfiction at all. *laughs*
I can't wait for what's coming next.. It all is just so bittersweet, the story and the relationship between Harry and Snape.. It's really touching my heart..

Keep writing.. *cheers*

This chapter made me grin, the Potions Professor is coming back. :D Keep up the good work and please update ASAP. :)

snicker. love it. great chapter. Glad to read that Severus is getting back into it.

I came to the chapter 32. Wow! I cannot but leave another review. It is the best I've ever read. Luna's last words are heart-wrenching. "Everyone hides, Harry, Some of us have fewer hiding places than the rest. Let him have his." Thank you for writing this!

I wanna leave a review, I haven't read the recent chapters, though.

I really love your story!! So bittersweet! I started reading from the first chapter last night--now I am reading ch. 23. Poor Severus! Are you giving him a happy ending? Please do! His fate has been so cruel to him... :( Well, I am returning to read them.
