Reviews for Power is Control
Bearmauls chapter 19 . 8/4
I'm failing to understand why Harry is telling Ron and Hermione. Ron is not known for his secret keeping, and Hermione is pretty much incapable of not butting in. And Astoria doesn't know anything.
Bearmauls chapter 12 . 8/4
Hermione is rather rude here. Go Ron!
Bearmauls chapter 10 . 8/4
I'm finding the story fascinating and creepy. I am confused about something, though. Earlier chapters made it seem like Emily went with pure blood rhetoric as a path to power and her new plan is to basically not be Voldemort, but a new face rising to take power. She even acknowledged that muggles may have some uses, and she hates muggles due to her childhood. Why does she dislike muggleborn, especially Lily Potter? She loves Harry and respects magical capability. Lily managed to create a ritual or circumstance that blocked a killing curse and destroyed a dark lord. Seems like the sort of thing that would get at least grudging admiration.

Miltonius chapter 12 . 5/28
The memory charm thing was intriguing not gonna lie. I kinda hoped to see it fleshed out, but still good
Guest chapter 12 . 4/16
FREAKING DAMN. That chapter was hilarious. A few nights of sex and Harry is already thinking with his Penis. And we thought that Sirius was a randy bugger. I thoroughly enjoyed the bucket of ice water feeling when Harry finally starts thinking with his other head and confront’s Riddle with her actions.

Also, let’s now add emotional manipulation to Riddle’s laundry list of crimes, because that’s exactly what she did when she proclaimed her love during the post coital bliss; expecting Harry to say it back. I don’t know if this was intentional or not but these things make the manipulative side of Riddle more convincing and real. I love it.
Guest chapter 11 . 4/16
How I WISH you wrote the scene between Harry and Sirius in Sirius’ POV. Such potential for hilarity with Sirius misunderstanding Harry’s dilemma but still trying his best. It would not have fit the theme and atmosphere of the story but it would have been hilarious.

Don’t worry too much about not writing sex scenes. Sex scenes ARE HARD because unless you’re purposely writing erotica, the actual act itself RARELY adds to the overall theme of the story. Remove the sex scene itself and put in the circumstances leading up to it and the aftermath and 99% of stories would still work with the overall plot. What i’m trying to say is sex scenes found on fanfiction mostly end up becoming gratuitous cathartic releases.

If you DO want to write a sex scene into your works AND make it relevant to the plot while not making it seem like porn, i suggest focusing on the power dynamics in the bedroom. Which party dominates the other in the bedroom? How does he or she go about enforcing his or her dominance? How does the submissive react? How does the act of sex deepen the bond between the two characters?
Guest chapter 10 . 4/16
FUCKING DAMN. This chapter was your best yet. I didn’t give much thought on WHAT Riddle could use as a gift but holy SHIT did you hit the nail on the head on that one. Pardon my use of expletives but there is honestly no better way to express how thoroughly impressed I am. I LOVED how Riddle reacted to Ginny. I never really thought Riddle was “declawed” as a professor (because planning to seduce a minor is already tons messed up in my book) but seeing her proclivity for violence in Harry’s eyes was marvelous. Also! Props for NAILING Harry’s reaction. I was half worried he would shy away from her homicidal tendencies (which is silly because at this point Harry has been exposed to so. Much. Violence even in cannon) but you’ve proved once again that your characterization is on point. Simply marvelous. Would give you a 10/10 but some spelling mistakes here and there prevent it. 9.3/10.
Guest chapter 8 . 4/16
Excellent chapter. Some spelling mistakes here and there (principal rather than principle; on rather than one) but hardly enough to bring down the quality of writing. Don’t worry too much about writing about the setting. Unless it adds to the theme/emotion behind the scene itself, one can dispense with writing the setting really. In this case, a classroom is so ingrained in our collective psyche that it should hardly be worth a mention. I really like the confrontation scene; it adds flavour to Amelia’s character and foreshadows future thrysts between the two. Excellent job so far.
