    This was my first Snupin fic and it was everything it should have been! I love how little Snape spoke--but how he said so much. Truly beautiful

    This is really incredible. I usually don't read Snape/Lupin but your setup of the story was so perfect... it made sense. Poor, poor Severus. You captured him so very well. I loved it.

    I don't care how many times I read this, it is still just perfect. I love this story, and I think I may have reviewed it before, but well... what can I say?

    I liked the beginning and your writing is good and descriptive imo. Snape's reason here for sitting, apparently hours after the meeting, around at hated Grimmauld wasn't very realistic imo.... But since you needed him there for the plot :-)

    It's however hard to believe that Snape tolerated Lupin best of ALL Order-members: cowardly, opportunistic Marauder-pet, useless prefect and bullying accomplice of his schoolyears and passive-aggressive, irresponsible teacher ("Yes, I actually believed Black was a massmurderer out to kill Harry. And I knew that he had an animagus-form allowing him to roam the school grounds freely and a secret way in - but even after he broke in and attacked students I kept my mouth shut. For months! Because I liked the job and Dumbledore's trust - so what did it matter that a boy I actively befriended was apparently in deadly danger?! And that I did *nothing* to make the situation safer, though I could have easily. Admittedly, I might have been a bit cowardly there. Oops. But I'm really sorry. And polite - so it's not really such a bad thing, isn't it. Oh, and Snape outed me not because I was a deadly danger what with "forgetting" the only thing preventing me from becoming a bloodthirsty monster in a school full of children. Or due to nearly killing three children and Snape himself just a few hours earlier or because I deliberately endangered students to shield my position with Dumbledore and having confessed this in front of him! No, it was because *he* was obsessed with getting public recognition. Nothing to do with my behaviour or several rational reasons he had at all.... Really! Never mind that Snape never before or after showed any particular wish or drive for obtaining public accolades or fame and clearly loathed people, like Lockheart, who did.)
    Snape of all people has seen - and suffered! - often enough the less than noble personality traits of Remus Lupin and saw the ugly reality behind the polite and nice surface Remus usually presents with great care and skill to the world at large. So "Remus Lupin, favorite Order-member of Snape" is pretty hard to swallow without an elaborate explanation or background for *why* Snape should have suddenly come to this astonishing opinion - while ignoring their very volatile past and Lupin's transgressions towards himself specifically....

    But I admit for me your tale became stale and annoying when it turned out that Lupin had miraculously transformed into hunk!Remus, him of the superior strength and self-assured charisma - when everything JKR gave us as information concerning his appearance (outside of wolf-form) points *exactly* in the opposite direction!

    What is it with all those cliche sexy!alpha-wolf (let's just forget that canonically Lupin was so incredibly beta he allowed himself to be dominated in his *unfettered bloodthirsty form* by a a bunch of teenaged animagi in the forms of a domesticated weaker relative, a grazing animal and a rodent: when his very nature and basic instincts then demanded hunting humans! Or that as a human he was so submissive to Potter and Black that despite his obvious horror and fear of serious consequences and clear discomfort he couldn't keep them from *publicly* talking repeatedly about his curse in joking manners - when someone picking up on it would have meant expulsion or loss of jobs for him! And he suffered this for him incredibly threatening behaviour without protest....) or Anita-Blake-werewolf-incarnations cropping up as supposed HP-characters?
    While Snape apparently got a dose of instant!weakness-and-passivity-draught. You lost me there.

    Wow, if this is your first fanfic you're really very much gifted. It's beautiful! The character are absolutely perfects, their feelings amazingly described, the details in their gestures simply faboulous. I love this pairing and I've read a lot of stories about it, but yours is definitely one of the best. Really a great job. Hope to read other stories soon. Kisses
