Reviews for Penance is the Play

    okay, so I read this a long time ago and loved it. I printed it off even so I could reread it when I did not have access to a computer. Sadly, I forgot to print the first chapter, and didn't write down the title or anything else that would help me to find it again (didn't think about going back for the first chapter until months had passed-don't know why I waited). So now, I finally found it again and thought I'd bookmark it and leave a review.

    I love how you have kept them in character and added a plot amongst the smut. It really is very satisfying. I'm so happy that you wrote lengthy chapters, which took me a while to read but loved every minute of it! Awesome job!

    OMG- this was quite a trip! I loved how you painted the picture for their entire relationship- simply amazing. And Harry's power with parseltongue was extremely interesting. Though i was disappointed that you didnt go into the final battle or the aftermath, i can see how it would take away from the novelty of the plot. However, i would definitely be interested in reading about the story after Harry killed Voldemort- did he go on a murderous rampage, or were Sev and Dumbles able to stop him/ see the signs? Perhaps it is best left up to the imagination, but this is going to drive me nuts- take pitty on me?

    What a great Snarry! Thank you so much for the wonderful reading! (sorry for the shortness, but I'm a bit at a loss for words after the roller coaster ride you put me through ;))

    This is one of the most imaginative and I believe, innovative stories I have read so far, and I have been reading fan fiction for years. It has a subtle combination of many common themes, but is so skillfully woven together as to be seamless: grieving Harry, personal tutor Snape, defeated Dark Lord, Dark Harry... But the best part I thought was the ending, not entirely happy, but just fluffy and sappy enough to be considered a category of happyily-ever-after.
    Great work.

    Thank you for finishing this. I finally found the bookmarked link and yes, this is just soooo fantastic.

    Words fail me, which is very unusual, but this fic was truly a work of art.

    I've enjoyed it immensely and will watch for more of your masterpieces, all of them.

    Thank you so very much.

    ZOMFG I love this story, the ending is wellplanned. I didn't see that coming.
    It's so real! No fairysparkles in the end, I simply love it.
    I don't really like this pairing, but I couldn't stop reading O_o...

    Good work!

    I demand more fics from you! I giggled through the whole thing because I was so happy to find a fic that had so much plot, and smut and you didn't have Snape call Harry 'Harry' until the end. I don't like it when they start that from the beginning. This is so easily my favorite fic ever. And I have read a lot of fanfics but I can't complain about one thing!
    I really wish JK Rowling would use some of your idea's in her books! *claps*

    O.O.....This is posbably the most realistic idea for Harry Potter's "Power the Dark Lord Knows Not" I can compltetely see it all happening, very sad ending to me thou I mean once you've had magic you REALLY don't what to give it up-and its sad that Harry has no chioce but to. Nice that he'll have Snape with him thou ^_^. I really liked this keep up the good work! ^-^

    Ja ne
    PoorHarry...

    HOLY SHIT!!! After one of the most beautiful love affairs I've read in slash, this is almost an unspeakable. I take it Harry never mastered wandless magic, and for his sake, thank God!

    I couldn't help feeling a little dismayed when I got to the epilogue, not even an 'afterglow' to linger on. All the truths that they shared and the feelings shared, I'm just glad they ended up together and that Severus could control Harry. How very sad, one of the lessons Severus had taught him was never to be without his wand...*sniff, sob*

    I must say that your calibre has shown through here and after perusing your vast collection of works, I'm sure I'll find something else of interest to read. I bow down to you and your pen.

    Thank you ever so much for a few days of most enjoyable reading. It was time well spent.

    That was... *breathes* Well, I don't really know what to say. It was absolutely beautiful. Far more deserving of the 5 reviews it has. It was just absolutely amazing. Very well written, VERY few grammar and spelling errors and the story was just breathtaking. I'm happy I found it when it was finished--I don't what I would have done if I had to wait for a chapter. >.< I don't really know what else to say that would do this fic justice... it brought tears to my eyes towards the last chapter.... (I was at work while I was reading it too...-_-0) Keep writing such wonderul and breathtaking fics as this--it was perfect. ^_^

    I am thoroughly enjoying reading this amazing story. Maeglin, you have managed to capture all the components to keep this story so scrumptious, that I don't want to ever put it down. The interplay of the characters is delectable, especially where Harry tells off his friends, just to enjoy Snapes' presence and to actually learn something. The games are short, sweet and also, remarkably, have a point to them. Your imagination is astounding, I'm in awe. But most interestingly, you've addressed the one thing no one else has, Harry's temper and lack of control. More mind games that you can shake a wand at and revelations about Snape that make him most intriguing.

    Sorry now, I've got to finish reading this, only half way through.

    I really loved this story. I love snarry and I think of your fic as one of the better ones I've read. (And I've read a lot)

    The ending was especially good. Very original(I am SICK of all the happily ever after fics) and you captured the mild insanity to Harry perfectly.
