I really liked Severus in this chapter. And he and Harry seem to have made some headway, as we can see from the easy camaraderie that passed between the two when Harry retrieved his book. As I've said before, I really enjoy your writing style, it's very unique. We feel as if we are coming to conclusions at the same time as the characters- you've put us inside their heads. When I read the summary for this story, I didn't think the storyline sounded all that plausible, I expected it to be the usual cringe-worthy, unrealistic portrayal of a mental illness in fanfiction. But I clicked on it and was more than pleasantly surprised, and find myself eagerly awaiting the next installment. It's engaging and realistic, and I can't wait for more. Well done, the most original and well written fanfic I've read.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the long and detailed review! These are the reviews I value most, because they are full of valuable feedback and help me grow as a writer. I am very glad that you enjoy my style. It's been an interesting experiment in writing. Most of all, it is very good to hear you feel that my portrayal of mental illness in TSWWM is fairly realistic. I hate when fanfictions butcher mental illness. It probably has something to do with the fact that I have family involved in mental health, and have known many with mental illnesses of some sort, as well as experienced some difficulties on that front myself. It's a topic people really need education on. So thank you for your comments! I very much appreciate the feedback and kind words. Cheers!
