Ch. 29 This is a shocker and one hell of a cliffhanger. The hand of Fate doesn

Oh damn...my heart was beating so fast at the end of that chapter! Snape is screwing with fate...and now I'm scared it's too late. Oh, you are a master of suspense...

My goodness! How could this happen?!? Severus, you're such a stubborn, idiotic bastard! I'm really mostly angry at him! He can't treat everyone with cold neglect and then expect from them to listen to him! If almost loosing Harry is going to make him finally snap out of it then so be it! I say 'almost' because I know we haven't lost Harry, right? Right?

I just came here to check for an update very randomly to find you've just updated! I don't know how I'm going to wait for the next one! ~.~

*ACK* What a tense chapter! And what an evil cliffhanger as well. You'll have me biting my nails down to my wrists waiting for the next update.

In other words - well done.

I have been crying for the past... oh, about9 chapters. :((( But I love your story and am hopelessly addicted to it. It's beautiful even in it's darkest moments of angst. God, I just want to go up to my room and sob myself to sleep in my pillow, but that would raise way too many questions from family members. I hope this story has a happy ending. Anyways, cheers to you for being an awesome writer and updating as much as you can. It's very much appreciated, and I hope I can read another one of your mesmerizing chapters again soon. Until then.

I just finished chapter 22, and honestly...the entirety of the chapter angered me.
I only have one criticism, however. I don't like how dense Harry is made out to be - I mean really, some of these connections are quite simple, it shouldn't be that difficult! This high level of density he's been characterized with has shown up here and there throughout the story, but this was the most extreme example I've seen yet. I agree, Harry can be dense, but THAT dense? Geezus. 0.0

A person can be emotional without being made out as an idiot. Sure, he was overwhelmed with everything going on and his emotions, but rather than making it difficult to focus, rather than going off as he did, one would think he would be completely and totally soaking up every bit of information being imparted to him. Not going off on a delirious tangent. And there was MORE than enough drama in this chapter already without his antics. Really though.

This is all my opinion of course. XD

I completely approved of two parts. Once I had finished those two parts, I basically skimmed the rest of the chapter because I wanted to punch Severus in the face so badly, lol. When Harry went off on him, YES YES YES, everything I was thinking. When Dumbledore told Snape that he disgusted him, YES YES YES. But Snape was just ridiculous. Someone needs to freaking...I don't even know. He made me so angry, throughout the whole thing, with his denial and oh-so-martyr-ish-ness and ESPECIALLY his condescension, that REALLY pissed me off. >.<

Don't worry, we've been so well prepared throughout the rest of the story for his devotion to his atonement, you've done really well setting us up for it, but that doesn't mean that I won't still want to kill him. XD
Not sure how much more of Snape I can take at this point...no patience left here. On to the next chapter to see! :p

Great job drawing so much involvement from me! :)

I have read through these chapters with awe. I haven't read a fan fiction to date that I loved as much as this. What you have gone with Harry and Snape is amazing. The fact that through all of this, they have remained themselves to varying degrees, speaks of how good a writer you are. I cannot wait to read more!

Update soon.
