It feels to me as if the lastest chapter is somehow cut short. Maybe there's just something wrong with my computer..

(apologies to SickPuppy)
VisitKarte, do you actually think I don't know that there's something not right about obsession?
I didn't mean there wasn't something right about his obsession, I meant that his story of being obsessed didn't ring right. Meaning that I think he's hiding something, not telling the whole truth, or lying in this story. Whether or not canon Snape was obsessive has no bearing on this; I'm not talking about canon Snape. I'm talking about the Snape within the scope of this story, and the fact that he's said he's obsessed with Harry as a reason for brutally raping him. The fact that he's said he's obsessed, it doesn't seem right to me, meaning I question it. Meaning I speculate, right or wrong, that there's something else there other than what's on the surface. Meaning that I'm not taking it at face value. And I'm not taking it at face value because the author of this story has, as precedented in her other stories, a pre-delection for misdirection. Meaning that she wants us to believe what Severus has said, in order to misdirect our attention away from some other point in the story. Whether she actually is misdirecting us is beside the point. The point is, is that you've misunderstood what I was saying.

Argh, what is Harry's reaction?! *Jumps around anxiously*
Another great chapter! I want to huggle your poor Severus.
This was just much too short to feed my fanfic appetite, write more soon! :D

Wao, where to begin? First I must apologize for avoiding your story. Once I read the warning, the idea of not having a happy ending sent me running. That in turn made me feel like such a chicken shit that I would just pretend not seeing the darn thing. Then I started feel guilty about that too!!! So every time I would open the Harry/Snape page the first thing I see would be your story, reminding me that I am a wuzz. I even had this vision of Lucius in all fours barking like a puppy with a printed copy of this story tucked into his collar. I can

I feel so sorry for both of them, and I hope so much for the sake of both of them that Harry would be able to forgive him. After forgiving there is some slim chance to heal.

from Jilliane: *I also have to say, again, that something about this whole "obsession" thing of Sev's doesn't seem right. I can't put my finger on it however, except to say that it's hard to reconsile the vicious and cold Severus of the "Chamber of Horrors" with the teary-eyed, cowering, begging-for-forgiveness Severus of this chapter, or indeed, with the Severus who stood up in court and boldly confessed to this obsession. Something is off, it seems............or not, it's hard to tell with you, given your pre-delection for misdirection and red herrings.*
Well, of course there is something wrong with the obsession. Obsession is always more then problematic, because it leads to stalking and worse. The canon-Severus is obsessive loving person. There

I've been reading this story on and off for the past day, and I have just one thing to say: Wow!
Of course I just lied and I actually have more to say... XD
Great job with Harry's character. You've really developed him deeply! The plot is original and enticing, and its really well written.
I'm really liking this so far, especially how emotionally powerful it is.
Hmm... do you have an update list? If so, please add me.

(Chapter 23)
I'm loath to write a review for this chapter without knowing what else it is Severus wants to say to Harry, but looking at the very real possibility of having to wait weeks for an update without it, here it is.
I thought Harry's line to the Aurors guarding Severus was a bit martyr-ish, although I can also see it as an outlet for the fear, angst and trauma he feels.

This story sounds sick, but it turns to be much deeper and psychological then I expected it to be. I see Severus' logic, how he tried everything to dampen his conscience, nor really caring what happens to him but trying to help Harry. I know what he did was sick, but the alternatives were so much sicker... I feel sorry for both of them. I don't excuse Severus, but I understand his way of reasoning.
