    ::whimpers pathetically::

    But, but you stopped *there*! I've been waiting so long to for Harry to call him Dad and now I have to wait for the reaction!

    *grins*
    Brilliant cliffhanger. Brutal, but brilliant.

    Author's Response: Well, thank you!  Brutal, but brillian, indeed.  LOL  I had to stop there, didn't I?  Couldn't give you too many warm fuzzies (or maybe angst) in one chapter now could I?  What fun would that be?  Hopefully, you'll like the reaction just as much.  Thanks for review.  Glad you liked my cliffie!  :o)

    Eeeeeevil. Evil with the cliffhangers!!

    Once again, BBB (Brutal, but Brilliant).

    Author's Response: LOL  Thanks!  Glad you like it...well, hated but loved.  :oP

    Best chapter yet. So incredibly emotional, and so well done. I'd quote my favourite bits, but then I'd be quoting the whole thing. I *almost* want it to end here so I can just bask in it.


    *Almost*, but not quite :)

    Bravo!

    Author's Response:

    LOL  Well, you can just pretend it ended then.  :oP  No don't, really...you'll miss the rest of the fluffy bits.  :o)

    I'm so glad it's your favorite.  It's my favorite chapter too. I've been waiting so long for this part.   YAY!

    Oh poor Snape! The shock! I'm dying to know who came through the floo. I'm guessing Remus or Harry. I know who I want it to be, but I'm curious as to what your choice will be.

    Author's Response: LOL  I hope you'll enjoy the answer!  Thanks so much for the review!  :o)

Harry receives a very special gift on his 16th birthday that leads him to the help he needs...Snape is finding respite from his growing pressures and discovers one in need of help. Despite himself, he finds he CAN grow close to another living being. Only..."everything would've been so much simpler if it'd actually been a cat"...

    Oh man am I slow, but I only just now discovered that this is the same fic as your "Shadow". I don't normally read a lot of fics in french, but I am so excited now to get to read through to Chapter 27.

    Rest assured that the cliffhanger and events of this chapter were so well done that it made me really want the next one, which of course, caused my epiphany. I will, of course, still be reading in English, but it's a great thing to be bilingual right now :)

    Author's Response:

    I hope you'll like it, I sometimes think that my guardian angel made me take the English classes at university only to allow me to read the English fanfics -  for what I am much grateful ;-p

     

     


A duel with Draco leads to drastic and permanent consequences for both Harry and Severus.

    Awww. This was a nice chapter. A turning point perhaps?

    Author's Response:

    Thank you!  Yes, I do think they've reached a turning point, but it will still take a while for Harry to feel comfortable around Severus and be able to see him as someone he can go to for comfort and help.  There are some fairly big turning points, (one was when Severus had to realise that he'd misjudged Harry about the journal and that opened his eyes to the possibility that he'd misjudged Harry in other ways, too), but mostly their relationship is moving along in small steps.  I thought that might seem more real.

    Oh, are you going to write a sequel for "Reading the Signs"?  I thought you said you were, and I loved that story!


A summer trapped with Snape seemed the ultimate torture, but when Harry begins to trust his enemy, a terrible betrayal sends him spiraling into desperation. Will he have the strength to survive? Not canon. Mentions abuse. Takes place after 2nd year.

    Just discovered this today and read the whole thing in one go. This is fantastic. Your writing is wonderful and the development of both Snape and Harry is perfectly paced.

    Oh, and I'm a sucker for the "Dad" slip up, in whatever form it takes, so loved that.

    I cannot wait for another chapter!

Severus Snape is a complicated man, but when it comes to protecting Harry Potter's life, there is nothing more simple than succeeding. When Severus finds himself caring for the boy after an attack, how will their relationship change? Snape-Harry mentor fic.

    Just found this story tonight. Stayed up waaaay too late reading it. Dying for the next chapter. I'm not too fond of the Ron bashing, but willing to live with it.

    Congrats!

Harry Potter was reckless. He was reckless and irresponsible and infuriating and impossible and Severus was terrified because he’d just heard a scream.

Inspired in no small part by Running Away by Bil.

    Wonderful fluff. I particularly liked that Severus thought Harry called him Daddy because he was concussed. Nice touch, that.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks so much, I’m not usually a fluffy kind of writer si I’m thrilled this worked so well ^^ - always cute when a little haary calls sev daddy ^^

    Have fun x


After the war, Harry Potter is given the option of being reincarnated. He takes it, asking Snape to be his new father. This is the story of Evan Snape.
