I just spent the last three days binging every single one of your stories and I think you're brilliant. This story is captivating and unique and another masterpiece in the making!!
That was a nice chat with Arthur.
I think Harry needs a better idea about just how prejudiced society is of werewolves. His idea that no one would mess with him is rather mistaken, no?
My favorite of your unfinished stories is building doors.I just found it so riveting.
Author's Response: I'm still working on finishing Building Doors. Hopefully in the next few weeks. We just have a couple chapters to go on that one :)
I'm not sure whether I should be happy that Harry is free of prejudice and looks at being a werewolf as a way of being empowered or annoyed that he's being an idiot and ignoring everything Remus is telling him about how hard it is being a werewolf.
On one hand, Remus has never really truly accepted being a werewolf as he was turned at a young age in revenge so it was a scary experience for him.
It would truly break Remus' heart if Harry did something to Remus to become a werewolf as Harry seems to be a little reckless and stubborn like that. Harry might get what he wanted and be more like Remus but also it wouls break Remus' trust and get him into serious trouble. On the other hand, it would be interesting to have him present a well reasoned argument as to why becoming a werewolf would be a good thing. I wonder if Ron will mention that bit to his parents?
It didn't come as a surprise that Harry would not want to go to Hogwarts given what he has experienced at Dumbledore's hand.
Given how long they have been on the run for, I'm surprised their money has lasted this long...
Glad for the update. Another good chapter. Hope to see another on this and Summer to Remember and Building Doors soon please !!!!
Author's Response: Remus had enough money to get their initial supplies like medicine, a tent, some clothes for Harry etc and to buy meagre food supplies for a year. Once others came into the picture they helped by bringing food and supplies so Remus wasn't spending every last penny he had.
Love Harry and Remus on the run!
I like the warm, practical and _close_ way you portray Remus. He's usually pretty distant in fanfics.
Will Harry be taught some Muggle survival skills?
I absolutely love this story, and am so excited that there’s more coming soon. I can feel this one in my bones. It’s raw, poignant, and action packed. I love seeing familiar characters from different perspectives. I also really appreciate the italicized thoughts at the beginning of each chapter. I like how Harry is beginning to see Severus’s actions for what they are and trusting him more for it. This is seriously a brilliant story and I’m so looking forward to seeing how it unfolds.
Thanks for another absorbing chapter. I liked the conversation about trust. It’s so central to Harry's outlook on the wizarding world right now. And the run-in with a certain family was spot on. I find myself wondering how much of this story you have mapped out in advance.

Loving this already! So unique and I love the difference between how Harry is with Remus and how he is with snape. Also loved seeing York featured, nice surprise to see where I’m from in a fanfic! Can’t wait for more :)
So good. So amazingly good. Severus is so nicely in character, I’m looking forward to seeing how he and Harry come to terms. Your writing is so superb that I felt Harry’s fear at the appearance of a character I know and love. Thanks for posting such a nice chunk of the story right off the bat.
Mesmerizing. I love how deeply I can fall into your stories, feeling a sense of loss when I re-emerge at the chapter’s end.
