Reviews for Where Others Fear to Tread

    Hi! I've religiously been following your stories since way back when "The Jewel of Mirkwood" was in its early chapters. I'm happy to see that now you've ventured into the realm of the HP fandom, since that means I can have one of my favorite authors writing also in my two favorite fandoms. I'm very sorry I never got to leave a review on "Love, Lies & Loneliness". I'm the worst kind of person at writing reviews, although that never stopped me to check daily for new updates! Could you forgive me?
    After JoM was completed, I was worried for a while that there would be no more stories. That's why when I saw LL&L I was thrilled beyond words. I think it was quite a good first-try into the HP universe, full of interesting twists and slashy goodies. My only tiny complaint would be the end, which I found a bit confusing, perhaps somewhat rushed, but feel free to ignore me. In LL&L sometimes (mainly in the first chapters) I got the impression that you hadn't as tight a grip in the HP universe as you had on, say, the LotR one. Something that, I'm very pleased to note, is not the case at all in "Where Others Fear to Tread".
    If anything, I'm of the impression that LL&L was a good warming exercise for WOFtT. In this new story, I found the characters better developed, and the plot better crafted. All in all, WOFtT is a well-rounded story, solid in its structure and argument. The chaaracters' reactions, feelings and motivations ring true in every way, and this makes for a compelling reading.
    If I may be bold, I found your style has come a long way since the days of JoM firts chapters; and think that WOFtT is proof of that. This story, I think, has a level of artistic maturity that the others lack, which doesn't mean they weren't great stories in their own right. But WOFtT has a sense of balance the others had not.
    Thank you for the fast updates, and thank you even more for sharing this amazing story with us.
    Yours, T-chan
    PS Rant: Can I hit some sense into Snape's head, repeatedly? Pretty, please? I find it annoying that he behaves in such a childish way (i.e. "You hurt my feelings, and now I'm going to hurt yours. Never mind that I'm forcing you into a difficult situation, and have allways gone out of my way to despise you."), and uses the hardships of his life as a justification to abuse Harry. Sorry, but I don't condone physical violence, and Snape *does* owe Harry the same respect he asks. (Not to mention that he's supposed to have 20 years more of common sense and control.) End rant.
    PS2 On the same note, please don't even get me started on Sirius and Dumbledore. Grrrr.

    Yay, more fic. Love it. I loved Snape touching Harry's face so gently at the quidditch match and then the way they interacted later was so cute. I'm intrigued now by what Snape meant by giving Harry things he had never been prepared to give to another or whatever that quote was, I can't wait to find out. Poor Draco, hugs to the boy, hope he's better soon. Great fic, can't wait for more.

    Hugs

    Not another: Feel sorry for Draco - story *sighs* But I'm going to keep reading this one because I like the way you write it and I like the relationship between Harry and Snape. Snape is a little over the top with the niceness but I normally like really mean and thoughtless Snape *smiles*

    Oh what a place to leave this, both our poor boys in a world of hurt. I've read other forced to marry fics before but have to say yours is the best I've read. The level of detail you've included and the way you've portrayed the emotions of all involved is wonderful. I also love how you developed the story so that the readers can see the logic in the situation and how there really is little other choice. Great job, I can't wait to read more.

    Hugs

    You're back again!!!!! That was one hell of a chapter you wrote here. I hurt for Harry but so much more for Snape. The poor guy never found someone to love him. Hope you'll write the next chapters soon.
