About me:

I am an avid fanfic reader (really, I spend way too much time reading); as long as it's not slash or MA. Someday I'll get around to writing, perhaps. Illness gives me a lot of down time, and grief from recent losses tends to bog me down even more. Being able to spend some time in a different world helps a lot, and I super appreciate our authors for sharing their time and talents with us. [Report This]

Reviews by Treedweller

Harry Potter has made it through five years of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and summer break has only just begun. Unexpected and traumatic events leave Harry in more danger than ever before. An unlikely ally in Severus Snape may be his only answer as the situation deteriorates from bad to worse and Harry’s two best friends become pawns in a deadly game of cat and mouse.

    Binge read! Thanks for the tale

When Harry receives that fateful birthday letter he plots a terrible revenge... Story starts lights and gets progressively darker.

    Wow! I liked this story. A little dark more than I like, but it felt real.

    Thank you!

Snape's Confession is the sequel to Lost Perspective. Harry's revenge led to Snape being brutally tortured at the hands of Voldemort. During Snape's convalescence, he and Harry try to reconcile themselves to their relationship. Harry learns far more about the Potions master and his family than he had bargained for.

    This was quite fascinating. A little angsty and dark, but not too much

    I love how you describe the detail of the furniture!

At the end of Harry's fifth year everything changed. And when Snape answers a call for help during the summer afterward, everything changes again.

    Always a nice read

The summer after the Department of Mysteries battle is a hard one for Harry, plagued by guilt but determined to make himself fit to fulfill the Prophecy. Along the way, he trains hard, and learns to trust and love. The start of a series which will eventually be a Snape mentors Harry tale.

    Ohhhhh, you are SO mean to Snape!!! Pink, silk underpants? Ah, well: I suppose he deserves it...

Title: Chapter 16: The End of Summer 29 Aug 2023
Reviewer: Treedweller (Signed)
    I really liked this story! It doesn't seem to fit as a Harry and Snape fic; Snape was in it (poor fellow!) but not a main character.

    Also, after all that planning, how did Voldy and the Death Eaters get inside the wards of the Hogwarts grounds?

    Excellent writing, nonetheless!

This story follows the events of Summer before Sixth Year. No HBP but canon through OoTP - Snape mentors Harry as he trains to learn what he needs to fulfill the Prophecy.

    Whew! I binge read this. I hope there is a sequel somewhere!

After mistakenly flooing himself to Snape's home the summer after Sirius' death, Harry realizes that his potions master can take matters into his own hands, literally. Warning: This story does involve the spanking of teenagers. If you have a problem with this, do not read and do not review. Any criticisms about CP will be ignored. But I love any other feedback!

    This story is always so satisfying! Everything is great: the dialog, the angst, the humor. The only thing is that I imagine Harry much younger, only because I want him to be a child longer with Snape as his guardian. It doesn't work with the timeline (with Sirius and Cedric) but I make do. Thank you!

    I'm binge reading this, AGAIN. This has got to be my favorite fanfiction story. The dialog is both witty and clever, and at times also logical and deep: I laugh and cry alternatively throughout. Aaaand I'm a sucker for d-fic so it really hits the spot. Thank you
