![]() ![]() I almost wasn't going to read this story because of my internalised childhood hatred of Severus Snape. But I'm glad I did. You're a wonderful writer - I love the subtle way you have of showing the downwards spiral of the Prince/Snape marriage (I am only on Chapter 2 at time of writing this review). I'm Yorkshirian myself but have lived near Colne, and it was a delight to read that town name and the Pendle district. You've done a stunning job capturing the accent, the working class attitudes and opinions, and the mill-worker history of the North West. I can tell it's written with love. Are you also from the area? Anyway, I am loving this story so far and I'm going to eagerly devour the rest. And thanks again for bringing the nostalgia of Lancashire culture to me, it's really made my day. |
![]() ![]() this book changed the course of my life |
![]() ![]() Really beautiful job of incorporating so many other things. And also, bc it’s his story, so very sad. |
![]() ![]() Not enough comments on this story. Thank you for writing it, although sometimes you whitewash Severus Snape a little too much |
![]() ![]() Loved every bit of it! Well done! |
![]() ![]() I am rereading this |
![]() ![]() ![]() Best Snape fic ever! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Did I mention you write beautifully? Every time I read the ending, I cry. You did so excellent with this story. The way you stayed up his death and funeral was amazing. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Thank you so much for this story. I cried like a bitch reading the last chapter. My life isn't nearly as bad as Snape's (obviously), but for some reason I find myself relating to his loneliness and sadness to a much greater extent then I wish I did. In this fic Snape doesn't come off as unnecessary petty and mean as in the original, but it can be explained by the fact that it's Severuses POV, from which I can forgive him almost everything. And as much as I hate to admit it (because he is my favourite charcter duh), I do not think it would be so difficult for him to cust something like Cruciatus Curse. Also thank you for giving him at least someone like Phina (and Hagrid). I doubt that he was supposed to have someone like them in canon, but thank god there was enough gaps in his biography/character to be filled in, and it didn't contradict anything. The only thing I didn't really like was a one-sided and not really shrewd Voldemort, but I am not here to read about him, am I? Anyway, great story and my heart is wretched again. |
![]() ![]() ![]() "Yes, Lord." was a great take |
![]() ![]() ![]() I was a relief to find out that at least some of Phina's motives were sincere, it would be too cruel otherwise |
![]() ![]() ![]() "Point to Granger. The girl does have a head on her shoulders" Well mow I kinda regret that's not a SS/HG fic haha |
![]() ![]() ![]() wow I hate Harry now |
![]() ![]() ![]() I never understood why Snape takes this situation with boggart so personally. It is just a student and how else is one supposed to fight a boggart? Moreover, he as a slytherin shouldn't show everyone that he cares? |
