Finished the story and enjoyed the journey. How could I not love it when we get redemption and happiness in the end? I appreciate the fact that the story spans a long time period and that acceptance and love didn't just happen (as if by magic) overnight. There are some things even magic cannot fix, only time and hope.

I have you bookmarked so that I can check your other stories. Keep writing!

When I started reading this, I never thought I would get so attached. This was so amazing. You have amazing talent. The plot and characterization was spectacular. I love how every single character had more and more feelings for the reader to discover. This was truly a story of a lifetime--several in fact. I am glad you were able to stick with it into Book 2, and give your readers a chance to watch the characters grow apart and then together again. I was moved to tears by the love, friendship, and sacrifice that was laid out so boldly. Your talent is amazing. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Just now hopping aboard the train here. Thank god, a good story. It's becoming increasingly hard for me to find anything that suits my taste. I tried to read a slave fic once, and it was full of love and happy fluff with Severus being so sweet and submissive. I can't imagine that ever happening. Finally, some angst, rape, and torture. You'd better not let me down! I love dark Harry Potter fics.

I just want to thank you for the pleasure your story gave me. I have re-read it several times, especially the second part. I am very glad that you decided to keep it; it might have made sense to just let Harry and Severus stay apart, but it would really have made me feel unhappy for them :D
So, yeah, my review.
First, it's amazing the way you manage to write such, well, non-canon stories and keep everyone in character so well, especially Severus and Neville. I never felt that something the characters did was OOC.
Second, I love the humor. "Ashes..." is of course a dark and haunting story, but you manage to insert such great sarcastic and funny remarks that it is never overly dramatic and tragic.
Finally - and this is the most important thing - you have a very good understanding of psychology. Is it by any chance your speciality or are you just a thoughtful and understanding person? :)
Thank you again and I wish you good luck with your writing!

Awesome Story!!!
Hugo is by far my favourite character in this story.
Glad that everyone has a happy ending. Especially little Albus, Harry, & Snape.

I really dont know how to make a comment that makes justice to your story! I read it all in two nights and have become totally obsessed with it! I have started again from the beginning because its too good and I KNOW I missed a lot of nuances while reading the first time because really I had NO idea as to why Harry was Dark! Really excellent writing!
I didnt even know I liked Harry-Snape, I really like the slave!kink from before, and never considered HP fandom to get my fix, but really reluctant or broken but with H/C in the horizon slave!Snape is my new absolute favorite! Your story has made me OBSESSED with it. I liked how everything made sense, really. I feel anything I say would be inadequate for the quality of your work, I am like just saying WOW and thank you all the time. I truly hope you continue writing! Please! I loved this story very much, it made my weekend and knowing my obsessive self I will continue to re-read many times!

to this day - this fic moves me.

it is so visceral and i reacted quite strongly to it. Slavefics are not my cup of tea but your writing style compelled me to keep reading. It was so beautiful to see your story develop - from such darkness to such a wonderful ending.

Mind if i mention you in one of my blogs? not a big deal other than a simple mention of good snarry authors out there. you deserve as muchpublicity as you can get...

love it!
