Reviews for Ashes of Armageddon

    This also is one of my favorite snarry stories of all time, but for different reasons than what I typically seek. The set up is uniquely implemented. The writing and perspectives are terrific, pointed, and reflective of the alternating tense calmness and anger (Book I). I apologize for not reviewing the chapters as I read them. I was thrilled to see a new story from you, and I feel it's one of your best on AFF. Your writing is excellent, in so many ways, but superficially I think the thing that impresses me the most is that I believe completely and feel completely the emotions and thoughts of the characters even when I am reading a chapter on an otherwise sunny & happy day. Your story drags me under, and I love it. Of course by Book II, I just want so much for them to get past the awful anxiety, I though I think they will, I don't have the idea that it is guarenteed. Every advancement in plot or character perspective is earned, paragraph by paragraph. I never feel that you have made a change just to shove the plot ahead. Wonderful.

    Wow just wow. That scene in the bedroom was something else. I feel that Severus made a big jump in this. I love how you change from a fluffy scene to a scene where they are haunted by the past. You mix them so well

    Very good. Having Snape search for the scars was a particularly affecting part. Hiding the scars even when in private is not really healthy. I imagine that neither Snape nor Harry will be able to truly heal until they can both deal with the physical reminders of the past. I particularly liked the way you showed that those physical reminders are not only scars of injuries, but also a kind of touchstone for Snape of the reality of what occurred, both that those horrible events happened and also that they are in the past.

    I know I've already told you this but I love this chapter because of the way you give some insight into what Sev is experiencing right now. He's at a very vulnerable place yet he has to fight to hold onto his himself and dignity by clinging to this facade, which we see towards the end starting to crumple as his memories of what happened are triggered. I loved that he's a bit demanding in his need and expectations of Harry yet it's more out of fear and insecurity about being rejected or losing what he has more than anything. Poor Harry, he's probably guilt ridden and confused as hell. Can't wait to see how they move past this or use this to evolve....if they can.

    Oh, my, God. Your story just gets better and better as each chapter develops. I love the story, and I love you for writing it.

    Very well-done and convincing, especially the way that Harry is trying to be nice, and yet is inadvertently crowding Severus into a flashback. And Harry is almost bound to sound possessive at times - he probably has a ravening scaly chest-monster of jealousy, just like the one he had for Cho....

    Three typoes -


    mortified of his descent - should be "...by his descent".

    The vulnerability of having someone else in his own home, in his bed, absolutely nerve-shattering. - there seems to be a word missing, probably "was" as in "...his bed, was absolutely..."

    drifted off into a sate - since there's no noun-form of sate, this must have been meant to be "state".

    Snape isn't quite ready yet to trust Harry enough to receive pleasure; but I suspect that will come another time. I like Hermione's ever so subtle way of letting Severus know who's coming .

    Oh wow. Snape can never catch a break. That was a little eerie to read Snape saying "Forgive me, Master" after all that has happened.
    Great chapter!!

    More foreshadowing to an end or alteration to the contract? Getting exciting. These scenes are so sweet, giving me more of a contented smile, than a blush to my cheeks in the way you approach them. Wonderful job.

    A very perceptive chapter. Violence infected them all during the war, and after it. One wonders how Hermione is holding up--is she healing, or merely holding it together for everybody else?
