Reviews For A Place for Warriors
This line made me laugh: “I do not want to go prancing off into the sunshine and rainbows with you, Potter, pretending that the world is all kittens and roses.” I love your Snape. You write him so well, as opposed to most of the sappy, saccharine, OOC ones that most authors have a tendency for. I'm just so happy now. This is seriously one if the best pieces of fanfiction I've ever read. Thank you for finishing it. -VS
You have a way of making me angry at Dumbledore and yet feel sorry for him at the same time. I loved this line in particular though: “Hatred is the coward's revenge for being intimidated.” Loved that. Great chapter. -VS

Your story is, without a doubt, the VERY BEST Snape/Harry gen fic I have EVER read. When I first started reading it two years ago, I was hooked instantly. It became like a drug: I checked back several times a day to see if it had been updated, I read and reread every chapter... I just couldn't get enough. I would think about it when I wasn't reading it, and when I was reading it, I wanted more and more. When you stopped updating, I was crushed. Heartbroken. I mean, four years and thousands upon thousands of fics later and this magnificent work still remained, and STILL remains, my absolute favorite. I never ever gave up on it, but I was starting to lose hope. And then you updated and finished it. You don't even know what this means to me. What should I rave about? The unbelievably IC Snape you wrote? The damaged yet precious and loyal Harry you gave to us? The flaws and the humanity of both the characters? The (perfectly) understated pain? The mutual suffering the two shared? The amazing build-up of their ultimate amicability (and their relationship still isn't perfect, even in the end)? The anguish that was never overdone but wonderfully and beautifully handled without being over-the-top? I could go on and on. Finishing this story with Snape giving Harry a picture--the picture from THAT day in the woods where the Room took them--was so chokingly and achingly poignant. Words can't even begin to express my gratitude. Thank you so very much for astounding me, for writing the BEST and most true to character Snape I have ever read in HP fanfiction, for having our characters forge a VERY realistic and imperfect relationship, and for weaving together suffering and loyalty and tragedy and bitterness and comradery and unrequited love and happiness and grief and everything that hurts and everything that heals into the most beautiful, incredible, mind-blowing story I've ever read. You are fabulous. The ride has been a long and joyful one full of many twists and turns, never failing to jar me and unsettle me and excite me. Thank you for sharing this fantastic creation with us and for coming back to finish it. I feel so fortunate. This story changed my life. Author's Response: Wow, your review has kept a smile on my face for hours! Thank you very, very much for your generous review. Wow.
Thank you for sharing this unique, wonderful, exhilarating story with the world. CF xx
