    I literally cried at during almost the entire second chapter. I'm talking about weeping here. How bitter sweet! Fabulous story and very beautifully written.

    Author's Response:

    What a beautiful, poetic tale. I loved your portray of Harry as a young boy, and his "ugly duckling" existence. I particularly liked his initial encounters with Shadow, and the slow, hesitant way in which they formed a friendship.
    Beautifully written, thank you for sharing!

    Thanks ^^ When I was attempting to think up a proverb for the next installment of 'When the Boat Comes In', the tale of the 'Ugly Duckling' sprung into my mind. Although it wasn't suitable as a title, it did seem a very good concept for my as yet unwritten fic-fest story; as far as animagus forms go, a black swan was very, very apt for Severus and both Severus' and Harry's early lives were rather similar to that of the duckling in the story/song. I'm glad you liked the slow buildup; I was a bit worried about pace but any swan (let alone a Snape-swan) would need a lot of convincing before he allowed Harry Potter into his heart!

    This was so sweet and so sad at the same time. My heart and gut were aching at the end of the story. I love it when Snape has positive feelings for Harry.

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review. Me too, I feel that Severus is a man who, under that icy exterior, is highly sensitive with strong emotions and a great capacity for love; if Harry managed to melt a bit of the protective barrier around Snape's heart, he would love Harry as dearly as he did Lily (albiet in a paternal way). It's one of the greatest tragedies in the canon, that Snape's heart was left to wither rather than flourish with a wife and/or child of his own and, thus, I enjoy playing around with scenarios where Snape does care for Harry, even if those feelings have to be sacrificed for the greater good.

    Okay, you so made me cry - but I loved it.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks for the review ^^; I think this is probably the saddest fic I've written to date (with maybe the exception of 'Faded') but I feel the 'bitter waters' make the fluff taste all the sweeter ;) I'm glad you liked it.
