Antithesis by mandancie starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 131]
This story is from the Summer Fic Fest. A prompt by Scorpia that I saw on Potions and Snitches website. Harry is kidnapped and Draco is the only one who saw it happen and who knows who did it.

    It's good to see Harry safe, and that man dead. Hopefully the healing process can begin.

    Author's Response: Yeah, it is. Thank you so much!! :)

    Very difficult chapter, but a necessary one. You handled the adults' response to dealing with a traumatized child well.

    Author's Response: Thank you so much! :) It was a very difficult chapter to write. I was trying to keep it realistic.

Like Glass by JAWorley starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 26]
Severus worked hard every day to portray the solid image of a man who was unshakable and unaffected by his past. Harry was desperate to hide the truth about what was happening to him in the present. One day two liars catch each other unawares in their deceit and are both disturbed and uncertain about what to do now that someone else knows their secret.

    Very lovely, moving story. I really liked this: "But Snape reminded him the day he took Harry to the Ministry to petition for custody that the future wasn't so uncertain. There was a meadow with wildflowers overlooking the mountains waiting for him if Snape could convince the court." because it seems (to me) to encompass the hope in all of this. Nicely told story.

The Dursley family move house, and Harry is horrified to find that they are now living opposite his most hated Potions Master. Between Snape and the Dursleys, will Harry make it to the Burrow in one piece?

    Very nice one-shot (with room for more, if it tickles the muse's fancy). I really enjoyed reading this, and like how you had Severus work with Harry.

Harry gets kidnapped, but who is this mysterious man who has taken him? It's going to be an awful summer. Summer Fic Fest 2015 entry. In response to Jan_AQ's challenge: Kidnapped By Tobias. A one shot.

    Very intriguing look at Stockholm Syndrome,and a unique alternate upbringing for Severus with Tobias not being a Muggle. An enjoyable read.

Title: Chapter 3: Santa's Offer 19 Dec 2015
Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    I like how it ended, and would now like to read a story in which Snape somehow ends up becoming Santa Claus...but, I digress. I do like the idea of Harry standing up for himself, and of helping to bridge gaps between the houses. The contract at the end worked well, because of Harry's trust issues; kids who've been let down so much need something more binding than people's word that something will happen, because people cannot be taken at their word. Nicely done.

Title: Chapter 1: Christmas Day 19 Dec 2015
Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    I enjoyed this, and like how Draco and Harry got along for the holidays. Snape playing Santa worked well, and he wasn't out of character at it either. This was fun to read.

Title: Chapter 2: Draco's Gift 19 Dec 2015
Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    This was a lovely addition to the initial chapter. I'm glad that you chose to add it. I like the idea of Harry being brought into the Slytherin fold, and being befriended by them.

Title: Chapter 3: Santa's Offer 13 Sep 2017
Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    I really enjoyed this story, and love the idea of Snape as a rather grouchy (at times) and sour (at times) Santa.
