I love this story line. I read the version from Harry's perspective and it just left so many things unanswered (not that I'm complaining) so I'd love to hear the rest. Are you planning on continuing this story?

I loved Nights of Gethsemane, and I'm enjoying Snape's version, in some ways better. In others, I enjoyed NoG's detail with all interactions. I look forward to reading so much more. I'm enjoying your take on Snape's personality and it's so good to see what Snape is going through through this whole situation. In some ways I wish you'd written them both at the same time kind of like one chapter to one then the other so it would be easy to remember everything per chapter that is related to the chapters I'm reading.

Look forward to read more though! Love it~

your chapter 23 seemed to have a formatting problem, the whole chapter is continuous with no spaces for paragraphs and sentences. That is my only problem with it. Good work despite the error in formatting.

well, the whole cloning thing explains why his friends thought they saw him while he was a prisoner... so once again, something we thought was done for har's benefit was fake. man this is busting a lot of bubbles. I keep hoping that he'll truely come to care for har, but it's looking like that was a potion illusion too. Was ANYTHING har felt or experienced real? if not that's just damn depressing.

The difference in between reading Snape's perceptions and Harry's is so fascinating and different. Everything is so clinical and planned from Snape's perspective, even sex. Harry always seemed to be such a reliable narrator (and even when he was lying to the readers and himself, it seemed pretty obvious), which is in line with his personality, but I often find myself completely unsure as to how reliable Snape is, at least about his own feelings and other people's motivations. Then again, Snape's more clinical, less emotional descriptions of what is occurring seems to draw into question so much of what Harry thought was real... even things that I as a reader took to be the truth. It's just amazing how you are able to do that, and is probably such a fun exercise in point-of-view. It's also amazing how Harry, as much as he knew he hated Snape, seemed to start emotionally latching on to Snape in a romantic way, almost without noticing it, while Snape still seems pretty annoyed with Harry and disturbed by what they are doing together, and still seems to have a very hard time viewing Harry as anything but a child. The discrepancy between the two viewpoints is really casting into doubt all the things I thought or took for granted in NoG, and making me wonder if I wasn't the one sort of jumping to stereotypically romantic conclusions about their interactions, rather than focusing more on how difficult the process of trust came to them both.

At first, when I started reading Invictus, I wanted to skip straight to the sex scenes, or the little instances where Snape and Harry interacted, but now I find myself even more intrigued by the moments where we see what Snape has been thinking and doing behind the scenes! It is so intriguing! I can't wait for the next chapter, as always! :)

wow. still, i'm looking forward to later when har's responses will be more natural and less potions based... i hope. As i said in a previous review. I'd be disappointed if EVERYTHING har felt here was potions and conditioning based.
I wonder how long it will take sev to actually enjoy it himself, I mean, sure he's straight but some action, even guy on guy, is better than no action right?

welll poo, as unlikely as it was i'd hoped har's eventual affection for snape wasn't potion based... silly me. :/ nothing har gets to experience... beyond the horrors of course, is genuine here. it's all potion and memory induced.

I keep switching back and forward between the two to see where we're up too. Considering how often it gets used on Har, will it be long before obliviate isn't as effective anymore?
I wonder how Snape manages to overcome that as I remember they end up having sex quite regularly.

You are amazing. I'm reviewing on a cellphone, therefore this will not be overly elegant or long, but I have just reread this story for the fifth time or so, therefore I figured that I may as well come inform you that this is the only piece of HP fanfic I have ever loved, let alone reread as many times as I have, and probably the only one that I believe makes this relationship make any kind of sense. I loved everything from both sides, although I have issues tying them together sometimes (but that's more a matter of it being awhile since I've read NoG). In summary, I love this story and I cannot wait for the next chapter.

Cheers!

Oh, wow, the chapter that we've all been waiting for and simultaneously dreading. A lot of it was pretty much what I imagined it would be, as Harry's POV got Snape's hesitance across to the reader, though not necessarily to Harry himself (one of my favorite aspects of your work, something I wholeheartedly wish I had even half your skill at). The really interesting parts were the reactions of the other Death Eaters, and Snape's moment of lost control. For the Death Eaters, it's a little interesting to note that they (well, some of them) didn't have a problem with anything else that happened to Harry, but somehow raping an almost-full-grown student was somehow crossing the line? I'm curious to why exactly that was... Because Snape was the headmaster and therefore had more access to their children, or is it just a bigger taboo in general (seems unlikely with what we've seen of Lucius and Avery). I suppose Narcissa's reaction makes more sense. It was really interesting to see that Snape lost not only Avery's friendship and Harry's small trust, but also the respect of the rest of his peers, and the greater wizarding community. It will be really fascinating to see how we can go from this scenario, with Snape barely able to cover his shame and the rest of the Death Eaters openly scornful, to the situation near the end where Snape was unabashedly traipsing Harry about with a collar around his neck.

I wonder if part of the reason Voldemort was so pleased with the whole thing is because it looks like now he has Severus' undivided loyalty? With Severus slowly losing his groups of friends, that could (in Voldemort's mind) make Snape all the more reliant on the Dark Lord for approval, supplies, even some measure of companionship.

As always, am soooo excited to see what happens next!

Wow, this seems so much worse reading it from snape's point of view! I love this story and am so glad you're writing Invictus. I have to bow to you and the way that you create tension because your a master at it, even more so because we sort of know what happens (at least to Harry) and still i'm clicking on this fic every week, eager to see an update. I'm surprised there aren't more reviews but i think HP fandom over-did itself with the last film coming out and people are having a break! Whatever the reason I just wanted to delurk and tell you that this is fantastic and that I personally can't wait for the snape pov of the scene where he gives harry "poison" telling him it's the ony way to save the world and then tells him it was a test. I know/think it's a long way off but i so want to see what was going on in Snapes head when he did that.
