Past Featured Story Digging for the Bones by Paganaidd starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 1254]
Rather than allowing Harry to stay at Diagon Alley after he blew up Aunt Marge, the Ministry sends Harry back to the Dursleys. Harry returns to school after a terrible summer, to find that he's not the only one with this kind of secret. A student has been killed by his family. New screening measures are put into place by the Ministry: Every student must be given a medical exam and interview to look for child abuse. With Dumbledore facing an inquiry, Snape is entrusted with the task of making sure EVERYONE receives one.

    Well. Looks like I've just binge-read this entire thing in two days. I remember seeing this story before and reading the first two chapters, but I never finished it because of the length, I guess. But yesterday, I had some free time, and I have to say, I regret I haven't read this sooner. This is definitely one of my favorite fanfics I've read, and it's written very well.

When the Lights are Down by Aprella starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 39]
Harry comes back to Hogwarts after a rough summer with the Dursleys. He tries to hide the scars of the summer, but refuses to deal with. Is someone going to help him before he sinks away completely?

    I just discovered this fanfic, and I absolutely love it! Now I've noticed you haven't updated since 2011, but if you ever update this, I'll be eagerly waiting for it. This is amazing, and it's one of my favorite stories I've read.

A Chance at Love by Severus Draconis Potter starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 166]
When an accident in potions causes imaginable damage to 3 different boys, perceptions start to change. One in particular of a dark and stern man, as truths start to come to light. How does one heal and move on from something like this? Who is left the task of picking up the pieces?

    I've thoroughly enjoyed this story since the beginning, and it was about time I left a review. The fact that it's written well and edited is already enough to draw me in haha but the way you've developed all the characters is wonderful! I feel like Snape was a bit out of character with how quickly he changed, but everyone enjoys some fluff every now and then. This is one of my favorite fanfics, and I'm looking forward to your next update!

Right in Front of Me (Book 1) by ShabbyBeachNest starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 296]
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)

    I realized I haven't left a comment on this story yet, and I figured it was about time to write one. I've been enjoying this story so much! You had me hooked from the first day it was posted; it's so well written, and the characters are so well portrayed. I've always loved fanfics where Snape sees Harry in a new light, and I've read quite a lot of abused Harry fanfics; it's nice to see a new take on it as well! I absolutely love Lily as well. I can't wait to see where you're going with this!

    Also, I'm so glad you're husband is okay! I hope he recovers quickly. And no worries; family and work should always be a priority, so take your time with the story! But I will be eagerly awaiting the next update :)

    Author's Response: Thank you so much for the sweet words about the hubby - I'm SO glad to say that he is recovering well, though definitely not fast enough for his taste, lol. He had surgery a week ago and wants to be back up to speed, like, yesterday. But he's getting better every day. :) I'm also so pleased that you're liking the story!! It's been such a pleasure to write, and I can't tell you how much I love the fact that people are enjoying it as much as I am. There's been a few haters, but you can't please everyone, and I wouldn't change a thing. Because DAMMIT, Snape deserves a little bit of happiness!! lol. Thank you so much for the review! :)

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.

    Wow. I've read a couple of your other stories, and they were absolutely incredible; this one did not disappoint. I can't wait for the update! The way you expressed Harry's anger was so well done; I could feel it coming out of the words.

    Author's Response: Thank you! I'm axious to get the next chapters up too :-)

    AHHH I've been waiting for this for so long (I wasn't sure if you had forgotten about it), and I was so excited to see this new story! I was not expecting Harry to turn into a girl with the polyjuice, and to be honest, that's probably one of the funniest things I've ever read. As always, your writing was spectacular, and I look forward to the updates!

    Also, I'd recommend putting this and The Last Will and Testament of Lily Evans into a series; it helps with organization and makes it easier for readers :)

Truth's Like Blood Underneath Your Fingernails by ChoicesWeMake starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 35]
It is late in the evening, but Severus Snape is finally ready to sit back in his chair beside a steaming cup and contemplate. Because Merlin's beard, is there a lot to contemplate. He finally lets himself feel the emotions churning mutedly inside him as he stares into the flames hissing in his hearth. Nothing that happened today is what he expected, and he is not prepared, not at all prepared, for a Potter in his house...

    I have a tendency to not leave reviews, which I always feel terrible about! I just wanted to let you know that this story was incredible, and you seem like a very talented writer. The way you developed the characters, kept them similar to canon, and conveyed the emotions...everything was perfect! This is truly one of my favorite stories I've ever read, and I will be eagerly awaiting a sequel, if you ever choose to write it.

    Author's Response: Aw, gee *blush* Thank you so so much! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it, and of course, knowing there's people looking forward to my writing is super motivating. ^-^ It was delightful to read your sweet, thoughtful comment, I really appreciate you taking the time!

It's not enough by lastcrazyhorn starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 99]
Harry wants what no one has thought to give him. Safety. Security. The ability to rely on someone else. And he's willing to go to any length to find it.

    I’m thoroughly enjoying this story in its entirety! Despite the short chapters, you somehow manage to convey so much in each one. I was hooked from Chapter 1, but Chapter 12 was truly my favorite. You’ve kept Severus in character, even in this different world, and I absolutely love it. Not going to lie, this chapter aggravated me so much... Dumbledore truly is blind to what’s in front of him. Agh. Regardless, your writing is exceptional, and I look forward to your updates every day :)
