About me:

My name is Hannah and I am currently (as of October 2019) a senior college undergraduate. I am majoring in Chemistry and in my off time I like to read write fanfiction. An important note is that I cross post just about everything I post here to ao3 and/or ff.net so if something looks familiar, it probably is. There are few things I love more than receiving reviews, so please go nuts if you are even slightly disposed to do so. If you'd like to actually get in touch with me, I have a tumblr that I occasionally can be seen at, @waitingondaisies so feel free to hmu there. i think that's all k thx bye xoxo [Report This]

Coals of Fire by The Lonely God With A Box starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 121]
When the saved hates the savior, magic demands justice and forms a slavery bond. Severus has saved Harry's life one too many times and the bond has formed, beyond anyone's power to dissolve.

Title: Chapter 9: A Midsummer Night's Dream 20 Jun 2018
Reviewer: waitingondaisies (Signed)
    I want to preface this by saying that it’s been a very long time since I’ve read this story, in fact the last time I read it was probably when you posted the most recent chapter (and then the whole fic over again of course). You might ask yourself, then, why this crazy person would be leaving a review, two years after they’ve read it. That would be because I think about this story a lot. I left a review on one of the other chapters (possibly on ff.net if you post there) about how this is a very difficult story for me to read. And that hasn’t changed. But the thing is, that this story is so captivating that even scrolling to the bottom of the page to write this review, I’ve gotten hooked again and will most likely be rereading the story after I’m done writing this. I’ve been distracted and rambled off on a tangent, but the reason I was finally motivated to find this story and read this review is the knowledge that as a writer myself, I’d want to know if one of my faceless readers found themselves periodically thinking of my writing. I’m being 100% serious, I really will just be sitting around minding my own business when I’ll think of this fic. Of that story that I desperately hope ends happily (but could so easily end in tragedy) and of the author who has me so hooked in that they could post a sentence and I’d read it over and over looking for hidden meaning and foreshadowing. This is one of those stories that has stuck with me and that I’ll probably never forget. Hell I might even one day say enough is enough and write my own ending for it (though that’s not likely to happen anytime soon given my personal case of writer’s block). Anyways I hope you’re doing well, wherever you are, and maybe see you again someday?

    Author's Response: Now you see me again, I have returned to my story to grace you with another installment!  Thank you for such a heartfelt response.  It actually inspired to me write again, a little bit.  I've experienced that same phenomenon with stories.

Title: Chapter 10: Peeling Off the Scab 29 Jul 2018
Reviewer: waitingondaisies (Signed)
    hello it's me again! i finally checked the email attached to this account and let me tell you, seeing i had an email essentially from you gave me a bit of a heart attack. i am so so so grateful that you not only responded to my review, but you wrote another chapter. literally i loved this chapter so much it really assuages the ache in my heart left by the other chapters (just a little tho, im still very thirsty for another chapter). anyways. bad!sirius isn't usually my thing, but you handle it well enough that it's not like bashing for the sake of bashing you know? like sirius being bad is a part of the plot and not just something for kicks, and im really interested to see him get his comeuppance. while a part of me is mad at dumbledore for violating severus's privacy by reading sirius's mind, i am really really glad i don't have to suffer through dumbledore exhibiting any degree of distrust in severus which would just be painful, you know? also i am really happy to see that things are looking up for severus and harry's relationship, though i spent most of this chapter pretending the conditions of the slavery are more like kristin hudson's slave child (which if you haven't read, you absolutely should it's incredible) because i really really want them to be able to gradually transition to a paternal relationship and just help both of them heal and i still don't really see a way to that with the conditions of your slavery unless it's like a bittersweet kinda thing where harry is still very much severus's slave but they have the relationship that i want them to have. idk if this is the kind of review you want but as a writer it's the kind of review i'd be thrilled to get so uh i guess you're getting it anyways? but um yeah to sum things up: this chapter was excellent, i love you so much for coming back to this story at all (unconditional love too, i'll still love you for posting this chapter even if you never post another) and i hope ur life is going well

    Author's Response: Long reviews are thrilling to me as an author.  Your previous review was also influential in me writing this chapter.  Glad the Sirius arc isn't turning you off and you see it's not just intended to be bashing.  Dumbledore isn't a bad person in this one...but reading someone's mind never seemed to be below him in canon either.  I do believe I have read Slave Child.  I think that one inspired this one.  I do actually have a plan about how their relationship will evolve, so it is unlikely that I will abandon this story completely at any time.  Thanks, my life is going well.  I'm getting married in two weeks!  :)

The Unwanted One by Amy starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 162]
Harry has always wished for someone to care, for a family of his own. On his birthday, he finds out that a certain Potions Master is his father, but Severus has finally settled into life with his other son. Can Harry finally have the family he has longed for, or will he always be the unwanted one?

Reviewer: waitingondaisies (Signed)
    The wait for this chapter was well worth it! The effort you put into it is obvious; this chapter is amazing. You very practically resolved the curse, it didn't feel rushed or contrived at all. My favorite part of this chapter was the moment where Severus finally gets through to Harry and Harry breaks through the curse because it's so touching and you took your time building their relationship and giving them background that the moment didn't seem out of character at all. That being said, the end of this chapter is also really well done, I loved the introspection from Severus. To wrap an overly long and rambling review: I loved it and can't wait for more!

    Author's Response: Aww, thank you! I'm so glad you liked it! It took me forever to figure out how to deal with the curse and for it to make sense. That moment with Severus and Harry was also one of my favorites as well. In the end, I really wanted Severus to know what Harry's been through and realize that Harry does need someone to be there for him. Now hopefully the next chapters will come along quicker than this one.

    Thanks for reviewing! :)


The Provider by Scorpia starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 29]
A truly horrible thought occurred to Severus, if Petunia had failed to give her nephew the most basic necessities, what else had she withheld? Springfest 2016.

Reviewer: waitingondaisies (Signed)
    Wow, this was absolutely amazing! The plot was original, I've never read a story quite like this, and Severus and Harry were very in character with any deviations being accounted for. I felt so bad for Harry when he had to dig in the trash for toothpaste and when he decided to pretend Petunia actually cared, but it was great when Severus came through for him like that! Anyways, I would absolutely love it if you wrote a sequel!

    Author's Response: Aww, thank you so much for the feedback Daisies! I really appreciate you taking the time to tell me your thoughts, and I'm so glad that they all seemed in character, I was rather worried! Hope you have a great week!

My Mother's Friend by JAWorley starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 18]
Severus Snape always did the right thing no matter what it cost him. It was his curse, because it always cost him. When Severus and Harry become 'grounded' after Harry is caught dueling, Severus is faced with the challenge of making things right with Harry so he can get the help he needs. In response to Ravenhaired88's "Grounded" challenge. A long one-shot.

    Yayyayayayyayayyay!!!! I absolutely love it when you add a new story, and I have yet to be disappointed! This was really good! I've read a few iterations of this challenge- and I really like how you went with it, though I may be a little biased because I'm so in love with your writing style! I just love how you make me feel so bad for Harry in the beginning and so mad at Snape!!! But then Snape gradually gets his head out of his you know where, and Harry always end up happy and well cared for!

Past Featured Story A Feather of Hope by Anthezar starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 16]
Halloween must’ve had a hit list. ‘Who can we screw with today? Excellent idea, Fate, our old favorite: Harry Potter.’

Not even having a Godfather in Snape could stop the evil from conspiring against him.

    This was my in flight entertainment this morning and I really enjoyed the story! I really liked how snape ended up wishing the fire would come back to Harry and eventually helped to bring it back. Great development from the hatred to adoption!

Harry Of Bainbridge by JAWorley starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 54]
Harry doesn’t think living in the orphanage is that bad, but he’s tired of being picked on for having no one that wants him. When someone sends word they want to adopt a young wizard, Harry leaves the orphanage to go to his new home. The problem is, there’s been a mistake. Severus Snape would never have requested to adopt Harry Potter, and now that he’s there, he doesn’t want to keep him.

    oh i’m so glad that millie is there to yell at snape and that snape apologized for making harry apologize for something he hadn’t done! it’s also nice to have it confirmed that snape has planned to give the boy he adopted an allowance and a full wardrobe, but hadn’t because it was harry—i’d suspected but i wasn’t sure. lovely fic, thank you for sharing!
