Reviews for Hephaestus

    Ahhh, and I forgot to mention one thing.

    I've always, always, ALWAYS loved your Harry Potter. More than the real Harry Potter, most of the time. And this chapter just made me love him more. He might not know how he did it, but he managed! He always managed. Only Harry could handle Draco at terrible situation such as this. It just showed us how Harry completes Draco's life. Now, hopefully in the future, Draco will show us how he could complete Harry's life in return, which he has yet to do. Be strong for Harry.

    Also, despite the horrid accident, (God, I still can't get over what happened to Scorpius.), I was still warmed at the fact that Draco chose to go to Harry above all, it showed us how huge a part Harry still has in Draco's life.

    Oh my god! (It seems like I can't start my reviews without the traditional mention of god. lol.)

    But that.. that was really, really unexpected. I was so shocked! Poor Scorpius! Bloody hell, Draco will go through hell. First, his love. Then his beloved son. And for his lover he might not be able to accept yet, but how can he not for his only son, Scorpius?

    Wow, I feel so sorry for Draco now. It'll definitely be too much for him, but Draco has his own strength. I'm sure he'll be able to struggle through and live with that, with acceptance. And maybe, through Scorpius, he will learn to love Harry's physical, too.

    I'm seriously loving your storyline. I can see how Draco's going to learn from all these. It all makes sense.

    Keep up the amazing work, you!

    Alright. I was already sympathizing and understanding Draco a bit more since he first started thinking to himself about why he was upset. I love that he understood and "forgave" Harry for what he said [even if Harry meant what he said on some level]. Even more than that, that he didn't neglect and forget about Harry's hurt about the "monster" comment.

    I thought that Harry pinning Draco [again] using his obsession with perfection just because Draco didn't want to admit that he drooled, was a bit much. Although, he is of course understandably hurt and tired. To be honest, I thought that was cute that Draco didn't want to admit that, even if that wasn't the appropriate reaction.

    When I read that Scorpius was hurt, I didn't really think to much on it. But jeez, you dunk him in fire? I have no doubts [I had a small one when Harry thought bitterly on it] that Draco would never abandon or hate Scorpius because of his scars. Actually, I'm more worried that Scorpius is going to wake up, see himself, and think that his father will hate him because Draco "hates" Harry [of course Scorpius knows Draco's true feelings in an abstract way].

    I'm super glad that Harry wasn't going to go with the decision to do the metalwork at home. It would feel like hiding and running away, something he deserves, but he deserves closure more, if that is all he going to get. Question: Harry said he'd wanted to make sure Draco didn't want him to stay only because he was sure a cure was available... Isn't that exactly how it is? Is Harry just hoping again with this comment, or am I missing something? Draco hasn't contemplated the possibility of no cure, despite the fact that Harry's been walking around scared for years. Although now they might have to find a cure for Scorpius as well. :(

    Although Harry seems to only becoming increasingly bitter as he tries to find closure, my heart totally went out for him in this chapter. Him asking for support was so completely sad.

    To end, I completely loved this line: "Lucius wept without tears and Narcissa without sound." I'm not sure what else to say about that to be honest. Wonderful job with this chapter. I look forward to how you handle the characters now.

    This seems like fate is saying "You didn't get the messege the first time. Let's try againg shall we?" Or Karma is really kicking him in the ass.

    Scorpius! Nooooo! *sobs*
    I know that this will hit Draco close to home... and that you probably had to do it so that our boys could get together... but MY GOD WOMAN! How could you do that to Scorpius?! ;_;

    I doubt anything but this accident to his son would have moved Draco. In what direction it'll go is still yet to be seen.

    Can I get on your mailing list please?

    You made me cry!!! How awful for Scorpius! This chapter was very deep and there were several lines that stood out as poignant. Your writing always leaves me thinking and you have such a excellent grasp on the psychology of your characters and the human psyche in general that it makes these people very real and their pain and joy very palatable. I understand everyone's point of view in this story. There really aren't any villians, not even Draco. I love that Harry and Draco both recognize they had something that can't be ignored and that Draco was trying to picture Harry lounging, albeit with his face turned lol.

    And that last line: It had me tearing up! Harry deserves that at least, someone to be strong for him.

    I loved this especially: But the reason I love Draco is that he

    I am totally enthralled with this fic. I like a good, frothy H/D story as much as the next person but sometimes I'm in the mood for something more dark and substantial. I love the psychology of the situation--Harry loving Draco who has made no bones about the fact that Harry is repulsive to him and Draco battling his horror at Harry's outward appearance while still yearning for him. It is very telling that, despite his distaste for Harry's scars (and what they represent to Draco in his mind--Harry not putting him and his desires first), Draco reaches out to him first and insists on putting himself in Harry's path repeatedly. I also appreciate the way you have managed to get them so in character. Draco is spoiled, abrasive and determined to get his own way but is still very much a victim of things outside of his control. And Harry is brave, strong, oddly hopeful and determined to once again face whatever his life sees fit to throw at him--on his terms. And by the way, Scorpius is in serious danger of stealing the show! I love him! He's positively Slytherin in getting what he wants--Harry Potter! I can't wait for the next chapter!! Hurry Up!! ^_^

    Gods, I'm not sure who I should be angry with! I'm angry at Draco for the way he's always referring to Harry and his scars! (I mean I can see that he's still in love with him... but even so, I question whether he truly is or not. I don't think that someone that truly loves another would end up treating them in such a manner!)And Harry! Why won't he even try!??? He could go and try, even if it was with no one knowing of his plans. and if it doesn't work then there's no one to disappointing other then himself. I do understand where he's coming from, I mean I wouldn't want to get my hopes up, only to end up with nothing... possibly even worst then before all this happened. But I still think he should try. *sighs*

    Please update chapter 5 soon ^_^

    I've told you this before, but I love the way you write powerful!Harry and I'm so glad those bastards torturing him got theirs.. I didn't like the way Draco phrased what he said and its no wonder Harry walked away. Draco acts as if he's doing Harry a favor, so Harry's retort to him was PERFECT. I loved the title of the chapter, it was so fitting. Still, Harry's revenge is a double edged sword; he's giving up on love. I hope he summons up some of that Gryffindor spunk and takes Draco up on his offer while making Draco see that he has to face the truth of loving Harry no matter, cure of not. The more I think of it, the more logical Harry's stance seems. You'd think after three years, Draco would embrace what his heart already knows but what his eyes and breeding refuse to tolerate--that he really loves the man, Harry Potter. I kinda hope for a Shrek type of ending where Draco embraces the inner Harry despite his appearance, but then another part of me wants Harry to find a cure...he's Harry, he's been through enough and deserves total happiness : ) :::Nervous hang wringing::: I know you said that there's a happy ending, but happiness is relative, isn't it? lol. Gahhh!! Give hope a chance Harry!!! AWESOME update, can't wait to see where it goes from here and what brings Harry back.

    Im a bit miffed with Harry that he won't even try. but I do get where he is coming from. Draco is so righteous that he's putting Harry off. just the way he looks at him and talks to him. I feel really bad for Harry.

    those people are freaks. where's the good old fashioned torture. you know throwing cold water and not letting them sleep and all that. Greybacks's torture is absolutely disgusting. I hope his death was painful.

    I admit. I cried reading this chapter. I just don't get it. NOW Draco could finally see the hurt and anger in Harry's eyes, other than what's left of him? NOW Draco finally see that Harry's still suffering? My god, Draco, even Goyle could do better than that. Shit, what happened to Harry left me SPEECHLESS. I was horrified. Still is, in fact. God, I feel SO freaking sorry for Harry and Ginny. Heck, Greyback's the horrid monster. What he did was BEYOND inhuman. Much worse than Voldemort. I feel like vomiting. I was surprised Draco didn't cry or something. I KNOW he cared about what happened to Harry. I KNOW he hated to see anyone hurt Harry. But if he would just get over Harry's scarred looks, if he would just let it go and accept Harry for who he is then god knows maybe Harry would consider, despite him finding a cure is probably 1 percent to 99. Again, last scene was my favourite. Harry's parting words were so sad, so ugh, self-sacrificing, as usual. And when you described Harry with tears, god help me, how can I NOT cry for him? Even at time like that he was still thinking of Draco. I know what he meant, he would rather not continue anything rather than having Draco rejecting him all over again after finding out there's nothing he could do to make things go back the way they were, the way Harry looked. As sick as I might sound, Harry's words made me feel GREAT satisfaction. That was a GREAT slap to Draco. He would definitely, finally realize what he's been dropping like a trash before. I hope he learns, and DO something about it. I hope he does. He better. After this might be his last chance ever for all we know.

    Amaaaazinggggggggggg. Amazing. Amazing.

    I'm enjoying this story concept so much. It makes sense because of I see Draco as. You're doing a great job with the characters and their reations.

    So intense. I was crying at the end. I feel so sad for Draco. He does love Harry but he's so shallow that he can't get over his outside appearance. I'm glad that Harry turned away. It would be nice if you could draw so that you could show us exactly how Harry looks.
    I hope the next chapter is going to come soon.
