Unfamiliar Familiar by Eihwaz Ehwaz starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 87]
Everyone knows that the wand chooses the wizard but fewer are aware that familiars can choose their wizard as well. How will Severus Snape react when he is chosen by a bird of an unusual breed?

    I can totally relate to the difficulties that Snape has trying to find something of interest to match Harry's reading level. As a teacher, it can be very challenging to get, and then keep students' interest.

    It was great to see an update for this story. I liked seeing Erebus again, and liked that Severus is starting to realize the extent of Harry's abuse. I look forward to reading more when you have time to update.

    Very nice, and lovely story. Harry and Snape's interaction outside of school was believable.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you!

    I am happy it fits with the canon verse. It's what I was going for.


The First and the Last Sight by blackpanther starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 3]
An adult Harry is remembering Professor Severus Snape, and the very first and the last time he saw his teacher alive, the bravest man he ever met. A poem reflecting on Severus life and what could have been if Harry had been a Slytherin. A Poem pondering on the many "What ifs", told in Harry's voice.

Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    Lovely summary of the story of Harry and Snape's experience throughout the books as seen through Harry's eyes. I really like these lines:
    "In Life

    You had a lot of strife and toil

    But it was not in vain

    And you are now in a better place

    Beyond the veil"

    Author's Response: Thanks for your review, I am glad my poem moved you, especially that line :) Yes, when writing this, I really tried to put myself in Harry's shoes and in poetic form portray his and Snape's complex relationship throughout the years, told from Harry's POV. So,I am glad to hear you appreciate my summary of their story :D

Tight Spaces by Summer Leigh WInd starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 8]
"This is a nice hiding spot," Harry lies. The little professor scoffs.

"I know better ones," he declares.

"Oh yeah? Like what?" Harry inquires, actually a little curious to see what he'll say.

    This was so sweet. I loved Harry's easy interaction with Little Snape. :-)

Color in Darkness by WitchLips starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 13]
Hagrid sends an urgent message requiring Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape to meet him at The Leaky Cauldron after giving Harry his school letter citing unforeseen circumstances in need of immediate attention. Unbeknownst to the Wizarding World, Harry has been mostly blinded, and is most certainly not a Potter. A BiologicalFather!Snape and Blind!Harry AU.

    Excellent opening chapter. It is very intriguing. I am looking forward to reading more and to seeing how Harry lost his sight, as well as how his other 'sight' works.

MINDSCAPE - The Healing Journey by chrmisha starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 176]
When an Occlumency lesson goes wrong, Snape learns more about Harry’s past than he ever wanted to—and it changes everything. But change doesn’t come easily, especially for two who have spent five years loathing each other’s very existence. Can Snape and Harry come to a mutual understanding of sorts to defeat their greatest enemy—themselves? Spring of 5th year, A/U. Completely written and posted in chapter installments.

    Hopefully Hermione and Ron will be able to help find Harry, and bring him back to himself.

Title: Chapter 22: Chapter 22 19 Aug 2017
Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    Exciting chapter. I am glad that Ron and Hermione were instrumental in helping find and then lure Harry out, and hope that the blindness can be reversed. I look forward to reading more.

Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    Love this turn of events, with Harry moving in with Severus and Covey. Hopefully he will begin to heal mentally and emotionally now that he is physically healed. I shudder to think of what could possibly have happened that he'd subconsciously choose blindness over remembering. Excellent chapter.

Title: Chapter 24: Chapter 24 27 Aug 2017
Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed)
    Another brilliant cliffhanger, with a great buildup to leave the reader properly waiting, eagerly for more. Lovely work. I like that Ron is the one who gives Harry the layout of the room, because it seems like something he would catch onto with his ability to think several steps ahead, and strategize in chess and other activities. I look forward to reading more.
