Omg. That is terrible. I mean, good story over all, but that is just too gut retching.

: / well written but the dye of the characters was heart wrenching making it lower in my list...

Another masterpiece...

There's something about how you portrayed Hermione in this that really intrigued me. I think it's the way you make her so clueless, and only focusing on Ron that she forgets about Snape. It's really quite sad, but I like how you wrote it like that.

This whole thing was very tragic. But the real sadness of it didn't really hit me until I read the ending a few times over again.

"She screamed. She screamed for hours. And even years later, deep inside, where no one could hear, she still screamed."

That was just amazing. Beautiful and devastating.

Wow. I have literally just poured my eyes out! This is the most amazing, moving, heart breaking story. Need to go and read some fluff now x

I've reread this so many times and i keep crying over it. I just. It hurts so badly. What you wrote for him to do, to become and that tiny glimpse of hope before snuffing it out...I won't forget this fic.

I'm having conflicting emotions right now; on one side, the ending was perfect, on the other, I'm heartbroken she didn't end up with him. But like I said, it had a realistic ending , even if it was a little confusing at first. Anyways, I'm off to read more of your amazing stories.

Ohmygod. My heart just broke. Ohmygod. I was not expecting that. Ohmygod.

Loved it. Not enough writers are willing to take stories down the doomy gloomy path, but this fic proves that a short, haunting, sad story can have as big of, if not greater, an impact as a "all's-well-in-Snapeyland" epic.

Thank you.

You shattered my heart.

What a beautifully tragic story. Severus is abused and used and cast aside his entire life. So selfless.

Not that Snape not having a voice isn't sad enough :'(

I put off reading this story for a very long time. I've read everything else you've written, most of them multiple times, but I was terrified of reading the sad ending. And then I did something stupid and read it in public. I am so emotional but trying very hard not to cry that I've ended up dizzy and nauseaus. I don't know whether I should thank you or hate you. The only piece of happiness I have is knowing that I can choose to pretend he didn't die, just like I choose to pretend he didn't die in DH. I know with certainty that this story is going to stick with me for a while, that I will be thinking about it as I try to fall asleep tonight. If success is measured by emotional response, then this is the very best SSHG I've ever read. Congratulations.

this is an amazing story - maybe some day you will write a happy alternate ending!

Oh my god.

I will love this forever. I will love you forever. Thank you.

"I won't repeat what he says about Harry; suffice it to say there is some doubt as to his actual abilities."

Lol! So far, excellent.

Hell of a good story. The parallelism with the Notre Dame du Paris is simply beautiful. I cried my eyes out. Your Snape is perfect in character: always doing what has to be done, never caring what it costs to him. So infinite bravery and selflesness... and he never gets nothing in exchange for his heroism. Neither hope, nor hapiness. Your other stories (the "HG and the crystal of time" and "The caretaker" especially) are also my favourites. Thank You for sharing the fruits of your apparent talent with us!
