This is a brilliant, slow burn of a fic, a deeper love story than the great majority! Is it up anyplace else - will you put it at ao3? I'd hate to lose it in a purge.

What a fantastic story! Brilliantly written. Love how you showed their relationship growing. Enjoyed the rings connection, and the story plot was really good too. Thank you.

Simply wonderful~! I loved it!

Nice one! I loved it!

The third and fourth acts may be badly written but the fifth act is, quite possibly, one of my favorite things I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading.
Sev and harry are written so well, the plot is interesting and character driven (more so than, say, characters reacting to some grand events in plot, which is fine too but this is better), the humor is dry and witty and I’ve read this twice. It makes you laugh and cry (sometimes because you’re laughing so hard) and it’s very true to their characters and it shows a very realistic softening to their canonical rocky relationship and I love it.
And, as I’ve just finished this for a second time and always recommend this fic to people, I thought I should probably tell you how absolutely wonderful I find it. And it is wonderful.

Yes! Someone who knows the word 'wary' and knows how to use it! And doesn't substitute 'weary' instead. You have no idea how rare that is.

I really enjoyed this story very much! Thank you!

I loved this story so much! I couldn't find it on A03! I hope you write more as you are such a fantastic writer and I do enjoy your works! Lovely story!

oh my goodness your story was just flipping awesome

there so many things I loved about it this ladt chapter was a wonderful way to wrap up

I do love the epilogue

And it seemed to me like Harry and Snape - well you kept them in character very well, congratulations.

the whole thing, it just works.
Well done!

Wow. I never thought I would leave a review regarding the portrayal of Dudley Dursley in a Harry Potter, Snape ( snarry) fanfiction; but you have done a wonderful job of closing the loop on Harry and Dudley and showing us how they could possibly connect - once grown up.
Thank you!

Wow. I LOVE your story so much.

Oh my, I did not see a Dudley chapter coming. Thank you! Something along this line has been a head canon of mine for a long time. You did it perfectly.

Ooow nice fic, absolutely loved it!

Marvelous fiction, I spent really great time reading it! ! You very successfully keep them in character.

what?! I went from reading one story where harry calls snape dad to this one with harry making snape aroused mind shocker
