I have been on the past...what...six hours maybe more reading all the chapters of this story and I must say,truly,this is the first harry potter story I have read that had the emotional power to make me cry,to laugh,to hate to feel those emotions.I can't wait to read the sequel and hope that you keep up your excellent writing.

Oh my goodness! I started reading this at fou o' clock this morning and it's now almost nine. Your story ensnared me; I feel completely in love with your characters and their world. Your unique take is refreshing- at times you had me crying, screaming, and afraid of what the next chapter would bring but I was so caught up in the roller coaster ride that I couldn't stop. Thank you for writing this and I'll most definately be looking for the sequel. Now I have to rush along before I'm late to church....

I started reading this yesterday. It took me into the wee hours of the morning until I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer and I had to give it up and get some sleep when I hit chapter 35. You will understand, then, that I was extremely overjoyed to find this story finished when I came back to it today.

I love finding a fic at the right time, and I seem to have come across this one at the perfect time.

Since I have yet to review, I shall leave a relatively long review that shows a little of what I thought of this fic.

1. I absolutely hate Cali. I don't care if her intentions and actions absolve her in the end, I don't like her one bit.

2. The ending, the epilogue, was absolutely perfect.

3. I took an odd like to the submissive and beaten down Draco, and I found his wish for acceptance from Harry to be his most endearing quality. It was something that invoked a sense of pathos I suppose, but not that, it wasn't really pity, and yet it was heart-wrenching, Draco's emotions.

4. The most brilliant part of the entire fic for me was the backfiring of the healing spell. I think it was very symbolic of Harry's inherent goodness, and I found it to be a brilliant plot twist.

5. Dark!Harry is a sexy Harry, and I especially love your portrayal of Harry, so smart yet ill-tempered, witty and powerful.

6. Hermione in this story had the perfect counter-balancing effect to Harry and all of the darkness. And in that way I found that I liked and even took to a character that would normally just piss me off.

Overall I think this was a well thought-out and well written fic. I found it tragic that Hermione doesn't really get much absolution in her life, but I loved all the little details that made this fic so unique, and I'm glad that I decided to read it despite the daunting idea of having to go through 44 chapters.

Well done.

I'll be keeping my eye out for more fics from you in the future.
