To Stay the ShadowdarkmystcompelMay 16 2008, 08:57:19 UTC
This story is heartbreaking. I sat down and read it in one sitting; I started crying about halfway through and didn't really stop until long after I'd finished. Beautifully written, as ever; a truly devastating piece, probably so much so because it felt so damn REAL, and I could see and understand so clearly where both Severus and Harry were coming from. You made a good decision when you decided to complete and enter it and I am incredibly grateful that you did! Best of luck!

=^^= Thank you.
I have to confess, I spent the last three weeks of writing this wanting to pull out my hair and only managed to find my muse somewhere in between plum wine and angsty instrumental music.
I liked the premise of this, but had reservations about the presentation. I wanted to tell stories as realistically as I can, but all the exposition worried me. The reactions to the fic are gratifying, though. ^___^ And it's fascinating to see different people's takes on Severus and Harry's behavior.
I'm glad that you liked the story and thank you for your review. I myself am ridiculously behind in reading all the stories, but I want to. Everyone seems to have done an incredible job. I might wait for them to hit WTP to review though. *wants to be able to read objectively.*

I think most people are behind with all the stories now. My bookmarks folder "to read" has experienced exponential growth of late!
And I must say, I do approve of your writing method...
"plum wine and angsty instrumental music"! :P
