Not much to say about me.  I like reading and writing Harry Potter fanfiction.  I have been enjoying reading works on this site for a couple of months now and decided that I might as well make it official as I have been having difficulty submitting reviews with the captcha thing as it is always telling me I have misentered the numbers.

Forgiveness by sshpfanfiction starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 197]
Dumbledore forces Severus to continue to teach Potter Occlumency. This prolonged exposure engenders a fragile bond between the two. This new relationship will change the lives of many, including their own.

Adoption and torture warning have been added as the story may deal with those but are not a certainty as of now.

    An enjoyable story thus far. I like how you've added to the legilimency and the dream walking was really cool as well. I like how Snape is caring for Harry, while being in character. I also like how you have Snape and Sirius commiserating over how difficult it is to keep Harry safe, and giving them a common ground with Lily. Nice work, I look forward to reading more.

Past Featured Story A Father For Christmas by JAWorley starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 85]
Harry’s always believed he had a brother, ever since he first saw his look alike in primary school.

Entry into the 2013 Winter Fic Fest.

    Very sweet story. I'm glad that both Harry and Calen got a family, and that, at the end, they were starting to work out their differences. Nicely done.

One of Those Days by Anthezar starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 545]
One unlucky hit with a strange spell. That's all it took to alter the course of Harry's life - and everyone else's life around him. Bound to stay within ten feet of each other, Harry Potter and Severus Snape have to learn to get along or die trying.

But sometimes in the hardest of times, one can learn things never imagined possible. After all, the past doesn't define the future.

Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    I like the way that you have this story unfolding, by working the change in Severus and Potter's relationship in little by little. Not everything is happening all at once, which is unrealistic, but at a pace which is believable. I look forward to reading more.

Title: Chapter 22: Falling 30 Aug 2017
Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    Wow. This is quite an action-packed chapter. I've spent the past few days reading the story, and really enjoyed watching Harry grow through the adversities that he faced at the summer school. I am really looking forward to reading more, and to seeing how everything will turn out in the end.

Title: Chapter 23: La Verite 19 Jan 2018
Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    I'm glad that Severus finally knows that he's Harry's father, and that he's helped him tuck away the difficult memories. Sometimes that is what needs to happen with them. Hopefully, wherever Harry is, he's safe.

The Summer We Went Mental by Whitetail starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 368]
Being sent to stay in a psychiatric ward at St. Mungo’s isn’t exactly the most enjoyable way to spend a summer, so naturally, Harry’s pretty angry when he finds out that’s his destination, regardless of whether or not it might be good for him. Facing a full summer of being cut off from the Order’s plans, Harry’s even taken to envying Snape, because at least Snape knows what is going on. But when Harry arrives at St. Mungo’s and discovers that a fire has changed his destination from the teen ward to the adult ward, everything is turned upside down. Enter his roommate - suicidal, depressed, and none other than Severus Snape. They are both willing to bet that their summer will be a total disaster, and maybe it will be, but even the surest of gamblers are not always right.

Title: Chapter 14: Cracks 03 Nov 2014
Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    I really like the imagery in this chapter. It works so well, and is very poignant.

    In particular, I like this metaphor: "Eternity for what he did. Life in prison - his own Azkaban."

Title: Chapter 19: Calling Out 03 Nov 2014
Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    I like that Harry called Hermione. Very good chapter.
