I finally got through this - just because I've been busy, not because it was hard to read. I was mad I couldn't get to finish it right away as I really wanted to see what happened next! This was an absorbing AU non-magic story. Harry was kind of a jerk at first but I enjoyed seeing that he just didn't fall right away and neither did Severus. I liked watching Harry's personality mature through the course of events. Although I did like seeing him scheme to get around Severus - that was fun! I loved the subplots and the slow build. I thought Ron and Hermione were done really well and lauighed over Blaise playing matchmaker. The Snape/Sirius snarks were fun too. I thoroughly enjoyed this and plan to read again and life slows a bit and I can go through it one sitting!! Well done!
