    I just had to review after this chapter. It was a shock. You ripped us from the manor, then destroyed all of the people who could have helped the couple. Nuts! I was going to stop here, but I just can't. Must keep reading...

    This fic certainly lives up to Life in an Alien Land 1 in skill and style. I have a thing for Snape, so I like this fic even more. I have read other stories where authors try to give other points of view of simultaneous events, but they rarely do it well. I always felt like the first story was the primary and all the other points of view were just cardboard, mostly because the author could only write one pairing well and couldn't adapt to include another character's thought processes. This fic does not do that. This fic makes you think Ginny and Severus are the main characters and we really get to see what they want, hope, and dream about. This chapter where they are at the manor for the first time might be my favorite. The attention paid to the brushes that Ginny comes across in the bathroom were priceless. Those details make a good story.

    Well I have to say I'm glad this story is finished and hope the Lucius/Tonks story is not as dark.

    I just read part I of this story and had to read part II as well. It was very, very dark but we were forewarned and the story does deal with Fenrir Greyback whom we all know to be a extremely vicious and evil character. Your telling of the tale of both Ginny and Snape's repeated brutalization at the hands of both death eaters and werewolves, was both heart wrenching and horrifying. And yet through it all they were able to find each other and survive their ordeals, which in itself is a tribute to the human (or in this case wizard) will to survive. I usually avoid dark, angsty pieces but your story drew me in, your writing style is very powerful and kept me wanting to read more to find out what would happen (even though after reading part I, I knew how it all would end. LOL) I say very good job!

    Well that was the easiest to read chapter so far. Looks like things are looking up for them.

    I have been riveted to every disgusting, gory detail that you have so artfully displayed for public consumption. Your story chronicles the disparity of simple human comforts, both emotional as well as physical within an encampment of werewolves that would rival conditions discovered in concentration camps. As much angst and despair as the protagonists endure in your tale, you do not stip them of hope. By way of a simple touch shared by Ginny and Severus, they latch onto a human need to be loved, wanted and desired by another and this keeps them relatively sane within a world of insanity. This emotional bonding has sustained them for several months, but, I wonder how this tale will end; with boy finally getting the girl or being driven mad by their separation? Job well done!

    this story is very, very moving. I like that you write the story with a sense of realism, not leaving out any of the nitty-gritty parts most authors tend to skip. It is incredibly hard to read only because the content is so very morbid and intense, almost a Holocaust-like setting that cuts to the core of the reader. Excellent job, please continue.

    The hand? A strange choice. Very painful place to bite, the but or the shoulder might have been much nicer to choose. Where is Severus?

    I think I know why I let the 'Why is Severus so daft' comment. If it was made after Chapter 12, I meant he has been a spy for decades, he

    Severus should... That's cruel! I hope she can forgive him!

    (Chapter 13)


    You're forgiven! :D


    As always, the big perk of proofing this story for you is that I get to read it first!

    I have to confess, I'm at a loss as to what exactly your other reviewer was referring to when she asked since when Severus had been daft. The dictionary defines "daft" as: 1. senseless, stupid, or foolish. 2. insane; crazy. 3. Scot. merry; playful; frolicsome, and I see nothing of any of those definitions in his actions. It's not daft for a man who carried a torch for a dead woman for over twenty years to want to protect, even sacrifice his own life, for the living woman he's in love with. Ginny has been there for Severus, taking care of him when he was injured, offering understanding and solace after Greyback's abuse of him. He's grown to love her, and I think she symbolises not only love to him, but also hope in a hopeless situation, and it's perfectly believeable that he would do what he could, even sacrifice himself, for the woman he loves.

    This chapter was harrowing to read, as were all the other chapters that contained examples of Greyback's evil viciousness, but like all those others it was well written. Nobody writes this sort of dark story like you do, and I say that not only because I'm your beta/proofreader. I'm your beta/proofreader because nobody writes like you do, and because it's my pleasure to be able to be so.

    Eww! This was evil, even for this kind of story! Since when has Severus become daft?
