I've been purusing the Snarry files from the end going backwards and found this lovely fic. I've read it before, at the Restricted Section I think, and I loved it then. Its a wonderful, long story, great character development and interaction, original plot and nice twists, and supurb smexx scenes.

I just devour long stories with lots of meat (storyline) and I'm off the re-read the rest...again! You know it's really good if you jump at the chance to read it again. Great job! You stick with those writing skills.

Wow. That was... fantastic. Absolutely wonderful. How does this story not have more reviews!?

I love the way you give out bits and pieces of the backstory throughout, the way you show Harry and Draco dealing with their respective trauma, the way you develop their relationship. I usually prefer Snape a little snarkier, but it really works so much better the way you've written him. It's so nice to see original ideas used in well-written stories; it occurs far too rarely. Kudos!

*goes off to read the sequel*

*curses for a few minutes*
okay i'm done with that. How the HELL could you leave us dangling like that?! i've just discovered this story (a few hours ago) and quite enjoyed reading it. I haven't found one as good as this in a long while. then you just drop us like that? *cries* i may be a bit delirious (it's 2 in the morning) and over reacting but i just about died when i ran out on chapters to read.

How dare that bastard do that to Harry?! was Draco awake for any of it? i bet Harry's going to lose a lot of confidence after that. I'm glad Snap got to them in time.

PLEASE!! i'm begging you, update this soon.

oh and do you, would you, email me when you update? it's okay if you can't, but i tend to forget things and it bugs me because i know i'm forgetting something and i go bonkers....yeah lol -.-''

Well, since you seem to feel the need to post a large portion of your story at once, I have decided to review for you before reading the whole thing. So far I've read the first two chapters and I must say that I am enraptured with this story as of yet. The plot is different from ones I've read before and its rather refreshing. So, now back to continue reading.

Wow, you have written an amazing story. It took a while, but I read it all in one sitting. I can't wait to see how the rest of the story turns out.

so now ive read through chapter eight. the thought of harry's magic pet and stuff, wow. i like the concept. i really hope that eventually those who took out draco and hurt harry get caught though but i would understand if they didnt. i mreally like this story and im glad that theres so much of it to read at once, even though its been taking up such a large portion of my day, lol.

Oh wow. I just got chapter 8 read and unfortunately have to stop now - I'll have to wake up in, err, three and a half hours. I read the first chapter a couple of hours ago to see what this story was about, whether or not it'd be interesting and well, here we are. At first I want to praise your characters: Harry, Draco, Snape - I absolutely love them by now. So incredibly Slytherin - all of them -, interesting and pictured in a way that I haven't seen them being pictured before. I like the depth you put into each of them, especially in Draco's case. He is so exceptionally sensitive to everything, or so he seems, and what an interesting idea to make him unable to speak. If this wasn't enough, I'd also like to compliment your writing. This story so far has been exceptionally well written which I very much approve of.

Can't wait to get to read more, now I'll have to sleep. Awesome work:)
