    I think you're going to make me cry :(

When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.

Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.

Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH.

    This has got to be one of the very best fics I have read in a very long time. Why did you stop? Please continue? You've come so far, and so much of the plot is set up already...

Voldemort is dead, but the world is going to hell anyway. Harry is forced to go into hiding as Snape's son. Little does he know, it isn't just a useful disguise.

    You are amazing.

    Seriously.

    Everything about this fic is amazing- the characterisations are spot on, your prose is excellent, and best of all, the storyline is unique!

    Another awesome chapter. You write great cliffhangers but still manage to cut of the chapter at a natural point.

    :D

    Can't wait for more!

After Snape's visit to Surrey, Harry writes a thank-you letter that triggers an extended correspondence and a tentative friendship between the two of them.

    You're still writing! I saw the initial author's note dated feb 2008 and resolved myself to reading this fic unfinished again... but then I went to your lj and :D

    Thank you for not abandoning it! (I've read a lot of abandoned fics this weekend- it's getting rather tedious)

After the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry has one last job to do.

Reviewer: astutia (Signed)
    I very, very rarely write reviews here, but this piece was just so excellent. It's perfect and heartwarming and heartbreaking all in 1000 words. :)

A Severitus written in a series of 100-word scenes. Warnings: bad language, friendly Slytherins, unfriendly Gryffindors (so far), more than a few cliches. Inspired by Bil's Drabble Challenge. Some word counts may be off because the site sees some formatting options as words. I'm not sure why some are counted as less than 100. Counting actual words, every chapter is exactly 100 words.

    I love this fic! There's so few words, but you make each one count, and I come away with such a complete story that I wouldn't know I've been unconsiously filling in everything around your words. Amazing!

Addendum to No Difference, As her son grows up, Eileen watches Lily Evans, James Potter and Tom Riddle.

    I think those 2500 works elicited more emotion than the whole of no difference (which I just finished, and by the way, was absolutely brilliant).

    Excellent!

    Author's Response: Lol.  Is that what you call a back handed complement?  Thanks.

Drabble. Severus gets a little too eager to teach his young son about Potions...

    I'm glad I could give you that warm and fuzzy feeling--who doesn't like a good family story?  Thanks for reading!

    -P.G.
