Reviews by dancingkatz

A sixth-year fic centered around Harry Potter and everyone's favorite Potions Master. Dark Harry! Rated for language and violence. Harry's taking charge, and not everyone's happy about it.

    Phenomenal writing. Really, I mean that. It's not hyperbole. I literally had to read this straight through from beginning to end without stopping. There are so many parts that delighted me, horrified me, made me cry, made me hold my breath in dread, Your story grabbed me and would not let go. Most Excellent!

Harry overhears a conversation he wasn't supposed to, but is that really a bad thing?

    Beautiful and one of the more original and sensible ways of getting Severus into Lily's bed that I have seen since I started reading Severitus challenge fics. I just wish it hadn't taken me so long to find this.

    This was a lovely story and very well written. I liked the flashback to the night Harry was conceived. It was a very reasonable and perfectly plausible device (unlike many Severitus fics). You did an excellent job of keeping everyone in character as well. Bravo!

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.

    I wish that it hadn't taken me so long to come across your story because it is excellent! You have written a well crafted tale with a good plotline, excellent characterizations and really smashing interactions between Harry and the other characters (especially Severus). I love Maia Snape and I thought I'd fall out of my chair laughing as the Headmaster's "crush" on Severus' Mum. But the best thing was the last chapter where Harry and Severus offer each other an olive branch and actually talk together. Well done!

This is a one-shot parody based off my story Lack of Faith. It involves Kayne and a rat.

    Mwahahahahahaha! ROTFLMAO! This was an absolute riot to read! Thank you!

    Now I need to go find Madam Pomfrey and get some analgesic potion for my aching ribs... Mwahahahahaha!

A story idea that popped out during a bout with insomnia. Harry Potter has had a difficult life, more than anyone knows. What happens when Severus Snape finds out Harry's mind has fractured into multiple personalities under the strain?

    This was an incredible fic. Utterly phenomenal in regards to plot, execution, characterization. It had it all. I don't have enough adjectives to describe the way it made me feel. Great work!

Post-war, with two most unlikely survivors.

    Oh, you made me cry with this one! It's so beautifully written that I can't help but feel the loss and pain and the acceptance and love as I read. Excellent job!

AU - Finally Snape and Harry get to the “bottom” of things. A Snape adopts Harry Fic. The story starts by the end of POA and takes over from there. Contains spoilers to GOF and Ootp. The series involve spanking of children/teens. If you are not comfortable with this theme. Please do not read.

    I have SO enjoyed reading this story. I truly like the relationship between Severus and Harry that you have built as well as the realistic way you are handling Harry's psychological recovery from the Dursley's abuse. Severus is the perfect Dad for Harry and Harry is the perfect son for Severus. I look forward to your continuing work on this story when real life permits you the time. I appreciate your author's notes as well. I am recommending this fic to my sister and several friends who like well-written HP/SS father/mentor/discipline ficss. And please believe me when I say that your story is very well-written.

AU, sort of Severitus Challenge response - When visions from the past come true, the time for truths has come, as well as the time for hope and life. But will the ones in the middle of this be able to find that hope, and want to live? - Not for James and Sirius lovers.

Reviewer: dancingkatz (Signed)
    Oh, I really, really love this fic. THe whole thing about Lily being a seer, the letters, all the preparations and planning, the very realistic way you handled Harry's emotional response to everything, his debate about the matter of forgiveness, everything. When I read the description of Duncan's true appearance, I so wished that I could draw people. The image your description put in my mind is just fabulous. I also loved Hedwig's "makeover".

    I do hope that you come back to this fic sometime and continue it. I promise I will not nag (it would be hypocritical considering I have two incomplete fics in another genre that I haven't been able to do anything with for nearly a year and a half).

    Bravi, bravi, bravissimi! You are an excellent writer and I'm going to go and read some of your other stuff now.

Sequel to Harry Potter and the Long Summer. School is back in session and it's another exciting year at Hogwarts, but questions abound. Will Harry and Severus be able to continue to get along? And more pressingly, what is Malfoy up to? AU!

    This is such a great story (which I found by it coming up when I clicked on the link for a random story today) that I couldn't stop to review each chapter but just had to keep hitting that little 'next' button at the end of each one. You have an excellent grasp of the characters and their motivations, write wonderful dialog (a weak point in a lot of other fics that I've read), and while giving things your own spin, have kept everything in Ms. Rowlings universe. Favourite bits: Draco and Hermione's library conversation, Neville saving the day when Liza came into the common room whilst everyone was teasing Harry, the inscriptions in the books that Severus gave Harry for Christmas, Harry's Christmas note to Sev, Luna's prank on her housemates, the Saturday morning flights with Harry and Draco... and more than I think the site will let me type in a single review. I am looking forward to future installments whenever you end up posting them and this is certainly going on my favourites list.
