Oh Narcissa is a right bitch! Your fic has mad me mad - well done :-)

Yay Marks! I so love the way you wrapped the middle around the ending. And this is a wonderful Severus, and a wonderful Harry. And a wonderful Narcissa! Oh hell, the whole thing is wonderful. :-)

Oooh. Very lovely, the both of you. The ending just crushed me completely. Poor Harry.

Oh dear! I'm sure he will be. Please tell me he's going to use it on Narcissa and not Snape.

****ing Snape. Bastard. Argh.

Harry, listen, just give up on the bastard. Just--

--Oh, who am I kidding. Love is hopeless, if not blind. And Harry goes back to him, and so the cycle continues.

Wonderful job, Marks. The structure particularly was brilliant--splitting up the past with the future in the middle--a most interesting way of implying repetition, continuity. You made me grit my teeth for a tight, angry moment there; not many authors manage that.

Lovelust--one of the worst addictions there is, isn't that right?

... Poor Harry.

And I think it's good that you experimented with structure; whenever we tend to do that, we can either mess it up or make it shine, but with your talent I've got my bet on the shining. ;)

Have I mentioned a hundred times how nice it is to have you back yet?

*blushes* With fics like yours to read, heck, it's great to be back!

I love this! Again, the ending wrapped around the middle is fantastic - and the way that you took the awesome last line from the drabble and squeezed so much power from it into the story. And the way it's written I don't even get a one-sided-cold-bitch view of Narcissa - I feel rather sorry for her as well. But poor Harry... wonderful, just wonderful.
