This was heart-wrenching and gut-churning and so, so uncomfortable to read, especially when I cried over Severus as a wounded, lost child—but above all, this was utter perfection.

This is beautiful and made me cry. I love the way the relationship between Severus and Hermione develops in these stories - beginning with the very different sets of early childhood memories - but I love the way you brought in the character of Graham, too. Thank you.

An amazing companion piece to Goldfish. I really loved this. Your descriptions of insomnia are haunting and beautiful and desolate. You're such an amazing talent. Thank you

I'm really loving all of your stories! Your descriptions are so perfect.

Beautiful.

Dear Cathedral Carver,
This story is breathtaking, so beautifully written, smooth, calm. I can't even find words good enough to describe how I feel after reading it. Elevated, perhaps...
Your talent is undeniable, absolutely impressive. You are so fine.

Did you know, online Latin-English translator, translates "Devia Lacuna" as "Devious Words"?
I'm sure you knew... ;-)

Thank you very much for this story.

P.S.
"I'm a goldfish" was wonderful too.

beautiful!

this is wonderful. thank you!

This is absolutely beautiful. What an amazing gift you have. I wish you would come back and gift us with more in this ship. But I am forever grateful for all you have given us to this point. Hoc mirabile est!

This was so wonderfully written, so sad and lovely :)

I love this story so much, I think even more than I Am Not A Goldfish. It is just written so very perfectly.

Simply magnificent!

wow...

amazingly written and absolutely breathtaking

This one is excellent, too. I had almost forgotten how much I love it.

I wonder if Voldemort also feared sleep as he feared death?

Insomnia has never been described so beautifully or...perfectly.

Thank you.

You have single-handedly transformed one-shots into an art form.

So lovely.
