I don't write fanfiction or any fiction, but I read a great deal.  My regestering an account is so I can provide reviews to stories that I really like.

I don't wish to submit unknown reviews.  If I write something I wish the author to know who is submitting it.  The author takes the time to write it, and should be given the courtesy to know who is reviewing it.

I'm a 44 year old mother of 2.

Midnight Watch by Bratling starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 49]
Small decisions can change canon events. One small decision can change the fate of not only a small boy, but also an entire world. Fusion with Forever Knight. Minimal mentions of past child abuse/neglect. Complete AU, Pre-Hogwarts through Hogwarts years. No slash.

    I only just found your story. I'm a fan of Forever Knight and there are very few crossovers that I have found. I really like yours, although I wanted for Severus, still, the back story of the years between Nick finding Harry and when he starts school were important.

    I admit I'm slightly disappointed Harry's in Gryffindor but I'll live.

    Minor note and a bit of a pet peeve of mine. Ravenclaw's animal is an Eagle not a Raven. Filius should have said "I have told my Eagles the same." instead of Ravens. It is a common mistake in fanfiction, which is why it is a bit of a pet peeve of mine.

    Why JK decided to give a house name of "Ravenclaw" an animal symbol of Eagle I can't imagine.

    Author's Response: Remember, Harry is only a provisional Gryffindor.  I'm actually planning on him spending time with the Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws, too.  I'd like for him to spend time with the Slytherins, but, as Harry pointed out, that might not be the safest thing in the world to do.

Outcast's Alley by RhiannanT starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 287]
When Harry goes through some...changes...the summer before his Fifth year, his relatives don't react well. Suddenly Harry finds himself homeless and alone, and learning to cope with yet another whole new world he'd never known existed.

    Need more! Must have more story! This story is wonderful. I've been loving it from the beginning.

    I have my own thoughts regarding Harry's parantage. The 'given' is that Snape is Harry's father but at the same time I don't think Snape is People. Harry would have senced it in his presence by now. So maybe Harry gets it from Lily? Either that or Snape is using something MUCH more powerful than the standard things to conceal it.

    Regardless, it's nice to start to see Snape and Harry 'getting along' at the very end of the chapter. Can't wait for more!

    Author's Response: :0) Yey!! Glad you like!! Thanks so much for the review!!

    Just found your fic and have been reading it steady. I read you A/N at the beginning so had to look up the original this one is based on. At this point I can clearly see how this one would turn into the original.

    I like the story and your writing, not sure if I'm going to read the original. Last year I would have without question, just not the mood I'm in at this time but that will change, I'm sure.

    Author's Response: First of all, thank you for reviewing Sithtar. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but this Sevitus version will never become the original story, which is in fact now two stories. Yes, the first installment follows Harry and Severus as they face their own personal demons. The second story addresses recovery from rape - both from the victim's perspective and his/her partner and the third is about rights and justice. But most of all, the trilogy is a love story. SHaria

Faded by Morgana starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 23]
The years have faded the darkness from his robes, his hair, his mind.

Harry visits his father, Severus, in an old people's home, bringing food, love and memories.

He Listened by watercrystals starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 149]
As far as Harry knew, it was all some sort of experiment that only Dumbledore could understand. He had no idea that the cat he had been given to keep him company instead of Hedwig over the holidays before his 3rd year, was in fact, his hated Potions Master in disguise.

Because of the Azkaban escapee, Sirius Black, Severus is sent to stay with Harry during the entire summer, never making a sound nor leaving the boy's side. He could not speak, nor could he defend Harry against anyone other than the criminal on the loose, however Severus does something that no other adult in Harry's life had done before...he listened.

    I like. I think it is interesting. Not so sure that blunting Severus' claws was such a good idea. He should be able to defend himself. Blunting them so he couldn't 'accidently' hurt Harry sure, but not so sure about for everyone else. But at least he can bite. I use to have a cat that we had to get declawed (just the front), she never went out and was distroying to much. As a result she would bite. We counted it as fair, if you are going to torment the cat, expect it to stop you.

Different, Not Defective by awesomelyglorious starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 138]
Everyone said Harry was different, but what if the differences were more than just surviving the killing curse? What if Harry had Autism? How would the wizarding world react and adapt to The Boy Who Lived?

    You're back!. I'm so glad to see a new chapter. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I had been reading your story on FF before but saw the new chapter here first so switching over to read it here.

    I so love your story. Having an autistic son Harry's age, myself, much of Harry's behavior and coping strategies and similar to what he does.

    I so missed your fic, I hope the writer's block is cured and there will be more.

    Author's Response: Yes, for some reason the FF server wasn't allowing me to login to upload, but it is uploaded in both places now. I am glad you like my story, and I am working on more. I promise.

    I liked this very much. At first I thought the little boy was Severus because I misunderstood the "Seven Years old" line. I thought the child was asking about his scar, not the scar on his father's neck. Once I finished, I re-read it and cleared up my misunderstanding. I really liked it. I think you did a wonderful job.

    Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review! I changed that line so it wasn't so confusing. Thanks  so much for the review!

Baby in a Box by Sita Z starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 61]

Title: Chapter 1: Part 1/2 23 Dec 2011
Reviewer: Sithtar (Signed)
    Oh, I really LIKE this one. Poor 21, less than a month from being 22, year Severus. Package sent from Surrey, first thought is Petunia sent it. She knew Severus' address from when they were children and he would be the only one of 'those people' that she knew.

    I so look forward to the next part.

    Author's Response: Good guess - all shall be revealed in the next chapter! I'm glad you like it, thank you very much for reviewing!

Title: Chapter 2: Part 2/2 25 Dec 2011
Reviewer: Sithtar (Signed)
    Very enjoyable second part. Severus' reaction to learning that Petunia had sent a baby in the mail to his was exactly what I would have felt. Karma is going to bite her and her husband HARD someday.

    Albus is being Albus, nothing unexpected there. I like that Lupin is part of Harry's life and getting along with Severus.

    Great story, I hope to see more of your work.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you  very much! Yes, Petunia had better stay out of Snape's way, because he won't ever forgive or forget what she did to his adoptive son. I'm very fond of Lupin as a character, and I'm glad you liked his part in the story - Severus simply needs to get over his prejudices, then he'd see that Lupin could be a great friend to him.

    Thank you for reviewing!

    Interesting and very good. Minor point, Evan Rosier, died in the first war so Severus couldn't have been standing beside him at the meeting.
