This story is so awesome I binge read all of it - and it's sequel - in 2 days. I also almost died reading Power Play, now I'm off to check out some of your other stuff. :D
Well, this has certainly livened up my evening. *evil grin* I've read the entire thing in a few hours! And I loved it! So some of it was pretty disturbing, but I like disturbing. (I have a story on the go of my own, not fan fiction, just something I thought up after listening to Haunted by Evanescence, that I started nearly fourteen years ago and still haven't finished! But that gets pretty disturbing in places, and I'll shut up about it now.) Poor Severus, poor Harry. :( (I am doubley glad that arsehole James Potter is dead, and weirdly, it doesn't sound out of character for him, I could see him as being capable of rape. I found the bit in OOTP where he torments Snape rather disturbing and a bit creepy.) I suppose at least they were happy for a bit, I can't wait to read the follow up. And I really liked you using Disturbed lyrics as chapter titles, yay!
My email address is lostlonelylittlegirl@yahoo.co.uk I don't know if you're still doing updates but it would be nice to chat. :)
Sorry to be so late in reviewing this! Been on vacation with the family and completely unplugged. A nice break, but I missed my favorite fics!
Speaking of which, I thought the final couple chapters were handled beautifully. You did a great job recreating the end of HBP, adding in the new elements given Harry's werewolfiness and his relationship with Severus, without making us relive all of it. It really broke my heart at the end knowing that, like in canon, most people wouldn't know that Severus is really a hero, not a villain. At least this time Harry knows the truth. I just can't help but wonder how their relationship will survive through what is to come!
So, with that said, I guess it's time for me to move onto the sequel! Looking forward to all that is ahead.
You are such a tease with those LITTLE peeks at the sequal. - They don't give anything away.
I can't wait to see how everything evolves.

I hate that the ending is coming but yay for the sequal!
Oh and good choice of title it works much better than Changes 2.

Good on Harry, for finally getting the memory! He deserved his hot reward from Snape for that.
I'm intrigued by the way you are bringing Sectumsempra into the story here. I'm wondering if it will play out similarly to canon, although the fact that Harry obviously sees what the spell does, and learns how to heal it, makes me think it will look much different this time around. No doubt you will be very creative with this little tidbit. Looking forward to what happens next!
Also, it's not that I think "Changes II" is the best title for the sequel... I just don't know what's going to happen so I have no way of thinking of a better one. Plus, I'm terrible at titles. All of my fiction is a testament to that. Sorry I can't be of more help :/
So much love for this story and all it's smutty goodness!
Xx
Love the thought that felix led Harry to Severus in such an unusual way.
Hot Hot hot - bent over the back of a sofa. Good thing not many people visit Severus' room. Imagine them wandering from room to room picking up little jars of lubricant. - Oh the horror!!
Nicely done. Hot smut, as always, and Harry looks like he may finally be on his way to retrieving that memory. I also very much enjoyed the twist with Felix (and I'm also appreciating my well-timed, if not coincidental, mention of it in my last review). I like the interpretation of the potion as not something that simply makes good things happen, but rather gets a person to the thing that will make them happiest, even if it involves some painful events along the way. Much more like how life really is.
On another note, is it immature of me to smile at the fact that I get to write the 69th review for this fic? Probably, but I'm enjoying it anyway :)
Great chapter. Got to love post full moon sex - so descriptive and so so hot!, but I wonder what Harry's wolf got upto with Severus' cloak during those moonlight filled hours. Will Harry ever tell Severus what he observed?
