Reviews by DaughterOfAres

Coming of age in a declining northern borough wouldn’t be easy for any eight-year-old boy. For reasons that defied logic, being named ‘Harry Potter’ only seemed to complicate matters. Second in the Storm Surge Series. Sequel to Grease & Lightning. HP&SS friend/mentor/Severitus-style fic. No slash.

Takes Place: 0 - Pre Hogwarts (before Harry is 11) - Snape flavour: Canon Snape

    Did I mention how beautiful and wonderful your writing is? You are an amazing writer. I can't say enough good things. I love this. I check for updates daily.

    Is it next Tuesday yet? Please?

    I'm going to continue to check daily and hope for updates. This story is too good not to. Just imagine I'm giving you a standing ovation until the next chapter comes along. 

    I love this so much. Have I mentioned that?

    Also, after this chapter I really want Sev to hug Harry. It probably won't happen. But I can hope. 

    I think I've mentioned this before, but it's probably my favorite thing about this series: you manage to capture do perfect the everyday struggles with social class and discrimination. It's fucking brilliant. I've tried that, and was nowhere close to conveying that as wonderfully and brilliantly as you have. 

    Fucking love this. *goes to check for another update* 



    Author's Response: Your enthusiasm makes me blush lol I'm so so happy you're enjoying it so much! I'm glad my read on class has been at least somewhat convincing. Admittedly, any subtext there is largely accidental or a mere consequence of setting (which I largely have to speculate about, as I wasn't born yet in '89, and I'm American). I didn't give much thought to social commentary for this part of the fic at least (although I can never completely keep myself from alluding to things lol). In any case, I'm terribly sorry that I didn't respond to your earlier reviews. I only just learned that I could respond to P&S reviews today haha

    I feel so bad for failing to review the last two chapter! I'm so sorry! That's what happens when I read on my phone, and tell myself I go back later when I'm on my computer to review. 

    Needless to say, I FUCKING LOVE THIS WHOLE STORY.

    Please, never stop writing. 

    When I read the scene in the last chapter about the homeless man Harry stepped on, I was really curious to see if he would be making an appearance again. For some reason I thought he might be Tobias Snape. idk why. Will we see him agian? Am I reading too much into that scene?

    I love that Snape collected the pieces of the bell! I'm hoping he fixes it for Snowdrop. It was clearly very special to her, and I need to know all the things. 

    Harry being kinda rude to Nick because he was focused on Snape, and then regretting it is so perfectly in character and relateable. It was beautiful. Also, Harry and Snape talking about Harry's 'helping' Snape was so perfect! *chef's kiss*

    Then there was all the revelations about Snape and his mum. And Snape's sulkiness.... omg I love this story. 

    LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE this story. Thank you so much for writing and sharing



    Author's Response: Don't feel bad, it's ok! I love hearing from you! As for the tramp...? All I can say is... er... um... *winky face* lol Much more about Snowdrop and Nicky is forthcoming (I hope readers don't mind the OCs but they literally took on a life of their own, without my say so).
