Reviews by Abie

[Christmas Special 2014] One Christmas Eve, after a particularly unpleasant Occlumency lesson, Severus is visited by a ghost. Lily is furious over how he has treated her son—and determined to make Severus see just how much Harry needs him. Loosely based on "A Christmas Carol".

    This is really, really good. I almost passed over it because I'm not one for holiday stories, but I'm so glad I gave it a chance. Please update soon.

After a year away at Hogwarts, Harry expects his summer to be like all the rest. For better or for worse, there's a big difference this time.

    I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this story. Good fics are hard to come by. This is really well-written and original, and I look forward to more.

    Author's Response: Thank you! It's great to hear that my writing is quality. I owe part of that to my Beta, who catches my silly mistakes. 

Response to Strains of Melody challenge, by Abie. Harry has always loved to play the piano, and after twelve years of secret lessons from a friend, he's amazing. So, when he feels that he can't cope with his life anymore, he finds comfort in a mysterious grand piano that appeared in an empty room. Two people hear him, Luna comes to sing with him, and when Severus sees hears him, he is impressed, and also notices some very surprising things.

    I'm so glad to see that you responded to my challenge! This was so heartbreaking, can't Harry catch a break? I hope you go further with this.

    Author's Response: Maybe I will go further, I don't know yet. I loved your challenge, and I thought it was really creative! Thank YOU for such a great idea! :D

Severus Snape is well aware that Harry Potter is his son, just as he is aware of the kind of care he receives at the Dursleys. He is also quite certain that the boy is far better off without him. Most of the time.

Now, if only he could convince Harry.

    This was a very touching and poignant chapter. Please update soon!

Reviewer: Abie (Signed)
    When I found that you wrote a new story, I was absolutely thrilled. Ever since I read life as dictated, I have had so much respect for you as an author, and your work has definitely inspired me in my own writing. While this story obviously takes a different route, it does not disappoint. I especially appreciate how you portray Severus as flawed, but at the same time, trying his best to do right by his son. I look forward to more.

Dark secrets and an even darker past threaten to destroy the boy on whom the entire wizarding world has pinned their hopes. Can Severus Snape find it within him to heal and accept the broken child of his nemesis, and in the process, ultimately heal and accept himself? (AU-ish, but follows canon. Severitus - mentor/adoption - WARNING: mentions sexual abuse, but no details)

    This is a really riveting, well written story. Everyone is so perfectly in character. I eagerly await an update.

    Author's Response: Gaw, thanks so much!! :)

In the summer before his sixth year, Harry ventures outside the blood wards and is abducted by Death Eaters. After three weeks of torture in Voldemort's secret headquarters, he is rescued by the Order, but when he wakes up in the hospital wing, he is no longer the same boy. Will an unlikely connection with his draconian Potions Professor help him overcome his demons?

Reviewer: Abie (Signed)
    This story is beautifully written and clearly created with an understanding of the topic being explored. Your characterization of Snape is wonderfully accurate, and Harry's experience is so painfully real and believable. I eagerly await the next update.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you so much for this wonderful review, it really means a lot! I am thrilled you find Snape in character and the story believable! I am currently writing chapter three, so it will not be too long until I update!

Blaise probably couldn't expect much, this time. Blaise was a Death Eater's kid, raised by, if not always Death Eaters, at least not blood traitors. Molly Weasley's soul was so clean it squeaked. It was a good thing Blaise had Snape to fall back on, for awhile. Mrs. Weasley was just too...not a Death Eater. Way, way too not a Death Eater to want to keep Blaise for very long.

    Okay, so Life As Dictated is one of my absolute favorite fics ever, and I am so thrilled to see a continuation of that universe. I love this chapter, and I really enjoyed getting a peek into Blaise's world. Looking forward to more.

    Author's Response: Thanks so much! Oddly enough, Life as Dictated is a little hard for me to work with, now. It was my first fic and while I love it too, in some ways, I can definitely see the flaws in it, and working with it can be a bit tough. I really appreciate your support. :0)

Title: Chapter 4: Tension 01 Apr 2017
Reviewer: Abie (Signed)
    Wonderful chapter. I was waiting for Blaise to finally crack. The progression of his emotions was beautifully portrayed. Looking forward to more.

Reviewer: Abie (Signed)
    Thanks for another wonderful chapter. Blaise's thinking pattern is so painfully true to life. Looking forward to more.
