Reviews for Secretly Slytherin

    Veressna --

    I'm a newcomer both to fanfiction and this intriguing subset, snaporn -- in fact, I've not read any except the snape stuff, which I found through Firefancies. Although I do prefer the "tamed" Snape, I've really admired your determination to stick with the -- what did you say? -- mean, nasty, sarcastic unreformed Snape, and yes, he is sexy as hell.

    I was moved to write after this chapter because I think you've entered into new and intriguing territory and I'm impressed with how well yve dve done it. Again, although I'm not (so far?) a personal fan of sexual cruelty and humiliation, it seems in keeping with your Snape and consistent with your Hogwarts universe.

    It's not so believable, to me, as a turn-on for Helena. I'm sure there are 18 year olds who would find this stuff hot, but I would expect them to have more baggage and more intimacy issues than Helena. And THAT Helena would definitely not find Lewis attractive, or maintain the kind of girly friendships she has with Ang and the other roommate. People who enjoy deceit, I think, enjoy and practice it with everyone, and her friendships are just too wholesome and straightforward. I don't find the girl who enjoys these power games with Snape -- the more interesting girl -- to be the same one who can't bring herself tsh hsh her potions partner off. I'd love for you to develop her into a more complex person who has more hidden at all times, not just with her new lover.

    But I'm especially pleased with how you are managing Snape's growing attachment to her.

    I've found myself saying Oh, of course! A guy like this, with such a fear of intimacy and disclosure, would of course be drawn to a woman who can give as good as she gets. She's a worthy opponent and likes the game, and the fact that it is a game protects him from the demands of closeness (fear of suffocation, intrusion, exposure). That she picks up and plays the powertrip games between them without being hurt by his rejecting moves makes him feel safe -- dare I even say because he's so full of aggression and he sees that he won't hurt her with it -- so now he's the one moving into the more nurturing position, as in the scene where he coaches her in transfiguration. Maybe it's safe to be more nurturing, to draw her closer to him, because she's shown she won't come too close. We all strike this balance all the time, in our individual ways, between closeness and separateness.

    In sum, she respects and enjoys the arms-length, defensive, sexual power tripping that he needs. It doesn't hurt her, so he needn't feel guilty and concerned. In fact, it's her huge turn-on. But how interesting that it's drawing him closer to her. Maybe when our fears are assuaged, we find our desire for closeness. I've only read so far, so I'm very intrigued to see whether the pendulum will swing the other way.

    And did I say that you have indeed and most wonderfully preserved the cynical, conniving, sarcastic and nasty bastard that you like so well? Congrats, he's beautiful.

    And yes, he's really hot.

    Well, Im unsure as to how old your wh req requesting reviews is, but fuck it, I may as well.
    I am enjoying this story immensely and no, I do not believe its too fluffy, though I would advise against adding any more "fluff", it has just the right amount. (I realise its already finished of course) I like the fact that they are together entirely of their own free will, and mutual "like" of one another. Helena is a delightful character and the wit that plays between them is both wicked and extremely funny. As a reader and a writer myself I'd like to say well done!

    Rather suprising ending.. Actually what I would really love is another bit of parady skits.. I loved those others ones... "Oh no, I want my mark on my butt!" *BWAHAHAHA*
    Takes a mix of strenth and one twisted sense of humor to be able to go through what hel does and come out sane.. That and as Severus says, she's good at lyto eto even herself.
    Off to hunt and see if there might be a third story hidden in your files to this one.. *off to find the story! WOOHOOO* lol love the Bad Boy Snape. I mean he might be the 'good guy' doesn't mean he's all cushy under it all. He's done bad things and I find people that think he wasn't 'involved' in the stuff he did before he joined up with dumbledore are morons and totaly delusional. People can come from a total hell and have a change of heart. Or he could plainly be (in cannon) just playing both side of the field ready to go with whoever wins. (Resent interviews hint at such a cliche ending to such a wonderfully deep charactor BLEH, sometimes that woman has no imagination)

    I just finished chapter 39 and decided to leave you a review since you wrote that gorgeous smut. You are extraordinary, Trisha. I'm absolutely serious. I know I tell you this constantly, but it's the truth. Your stories are pleasing for the side of me that loves full and well-done plot, and for the rest of me, that just adores smut to no end. You have an incredible talent for balancing things out; your work is engaging and satisfying. Kudos to you, darling.

    wow. This is just great writing, great characterizations and great smut. I love how you kept Snape in character, he's a greasy git, but he is still a good greasy git.

    You actually made me cry in a couple of scenes *especially the aftermath*

    Please Please Please write a sequel!!!! I need to know what's going to happen. Please!!
