Reviews for Behind Emerald Eyes
YuriAvant chapter 7 . 5/14
I think I could have liked this fic, but... No, sorry that's a lie...
It was written like the author didn't even watch the movies (never mind read the books) - the whole mixing transfiguration with charms thing really bothered me, not to mention a list of other things that just doesn't make sense even if this isn't canon. (Don't even get me started on Voldy in this story and how there's a James Potter the same age as Harry and how Harry has a wizarding surname but no cash.)
Also, Harry forgave old Voldy WAY too easily. Like, this guy who was a prejudiced ass and made Harry's life shit for the few years he was in Hogwarts, then he suddenly start treating him nice and now Harry loves him? I know this is a story, but you're going to have to be more realistic about love. Or take out the mocking and insults Voldy directs towards Harry. You could have it that he just turns the other way during the bullying and doesn't recognise Harry at the start so LIGHTLY scolds him. This would make the emotions of love seem more feasible whilst also maintaining the whole Voldy-rejected-Harry thing.
As well as that, proof reading needs to be done to get rid the spelling mistakes and grammatical errors that have been made.
I hope my advice helps you improve this story or write a better one.
Thank you for reading it.

NYUUUUH. WHAT HAPPEN? I NEED TO KNOW, AUTHOR PLEASE CONTINUE THIS STORY!

Yeah not reading this. First of all even if Voldemort was in love with his so called hero he himself has admitted Harry does not live up to the image he painted in his head. Voldemort would need tie to connect with the two since they are basically different people. Voldemort wasn't just dismissive of Harry he didn't like him at all and while finding out the truth should have made him reevaluate it shouldn't have made him fall instantly in love. It is unrealistic. It should have made him want to get to know Harry and find out how much of him was a mask and much was real. Because some of the reason's he didn't like Harry was his personality and if that wasn't a mask and was real he still shouldn't like Harry despite learning the truth. He should be disenchanted but hopeful there is more to Harry then appears and looking for that something. Instead of this you have him coming across as smitten like some creepy old man/hormonal teen only interested in Harry's looks rather than finding out who he is.

On Harry's half, what. the hell! What was with the reaction to Voldemort's kiss, "leaving Harry's heart wildly thumping".
The reaction should have been, "leaving Harry tense and unsettled. He wasn't used to displays of affection, the unfamiliarity of it alone would have had him on edge but from that man of all people... just what the hell was he playing at. He felt trapped, cornered, things were changing to fast and he didn't know how to react. Was he supposed to be grateful? How could he? It was quite literally only days ago that the man was openly scornful of him and now he was bestowing such gestures... like it was all some sort of game.
He paused thinking that over... that had to be it, this was another manipulation, some sort of head game to leave him off balance. It was probably pay back for being such a disappointment, Voldemort probably thought he'd been made a fool of, that his so called hero had embarrassed and now wanted to return the favor..."

That is the more appropriate reaction I expected, maybe not to that extreme and better worded but I definitely didn't expect Harry to like it at this point. He should hate voldmort and if some one I hated did such actions to me I would feel disgusted. Sorry, it's rushed comes and comes off as written by some one who has no idea how real relationships work, or how people does. Like your set on your plot you overlook how unrealistic it come off to any one who isn't a die hard shipper of the two and is over willing to look such flaws only because they are desperate to read anything on their ship.

I don't want to needlessly flame, ignoring the rushed romance your look into each of the characters minds the way they think, the differences in how they think are well written, on that part you characteristic them well. But I feel you sacrifice to much by rushing the romance, which really when your story's whole genre is a romance you would think that would be the bit you took care with. So to improve I would suggest giving the reader a reason to justify Harry's attraction to Voldemort, yes he is helpless in fighting back, he has to go along with it but they isn't he doing more even just passive aggressiveness, why doesn't he act more bitter or even attempt to be petty? I think if you had covered this I could have accepted it more.

It's frustrating, I want to root for Harry and Tom but this written version doesn't deserve him. I mean you write it well, to the point I'm invested in Harry however that means I feel indignant on his behalf. See I think Harry is right, nothing has changed he's still the so called mudblood, how does him hating the gift of snake speech suddenly change his worth. Would he have defended Harry against Lestrange's actions had they come to light before the truth was out? The change in behavior only now is a bit of a slap in the face when he's still the same person looks/behavior wise and this one thing changes it.

Plus your harry is pretty moral and I think he's the sort who would think "but if I had been all that you thought I was (if you'd never found this out) you wouldn't have been sorry for your actions/inaction" which leads me to questioning is he really sorry? The answer is no because he doesn't regret his actions he only regrets them because Harry has worth now, if he hadn't showed his hand Tom would not be sorry which makes it hard to support them. I'm looking forward to see where you take it and hoping you don't rush their relationship (on Harry's side) if anything it should be slower since Tom as basically stole Harry's freedom from him. If I was Harry and someone who treated me as less than worthless suddenly took over my life with out regard to my opinion on the matter I would be furious, simmering down to apathy towards them once I realized couldn't retaliate.

Also curious if the rest of the school (students and professors) will get a dose of humble pie, Voldemort wasn't the only one who was prejudice and judged on appearance. Also wondering if Harry doesnn't have a chance to reclaim Voldemeorts claim on him later. After all the whole school has plenty of witnesses of the profforsor mistreatment of him as a student why would he be trusted as a guardian, surely there would be some grounds there? Or maybe not the wizarding world is dumb.

Still to the reason I am commenting, I find it a bit off putting the adoption considering you plan to pair them later. I have no probblem with the romance but I do now that you establish a family bond between the two. Even if it is a front to get close to Harry it doesn't look like that to the outside world which means if they ever got together it would look all sorts of wrong. I didn't just want to be negative about this since it is well written but I find myself not sure if I'll be able to stomach the rest of tis due to my own squickyness level being active. I suppose if depends how you write it but I was definitely left unsettled.

You just had to make me ship Roman/Harry! But this is a beautiful fanfiction and I love it

Voldemort is sad - he has more to do if he's trying to shove 3 YEARS under the rug. Is he cares about is Harry's eyes? He's blind and prejudice and wouldn't be forgiven for a long time.

He's lucky Harry has a good heart! I wouldn't be so compliant, loving him or not.

Keep Up The Good Work~!
