	Wow, this was gorgeous. It's one of the best stories I've read in years! I really enjoyed the fact that, while it wasn't fluffy, it was still adorable in parts. My favorite line, though I loved a lot of them, was definitely, "I'm impossible?" Harry said. He'd been expecting something more venomous. "If I was any more possible, we'd be naked." Brilliant!

	Let me tell you. I have never, to date, "squee"'d upon finishing a fanfic. This came dangerously close to making me do so. You have hit my Half-blood Prince kink something fierce, and for that I thank you most humbly. (Reply to this) (Thread)

When he did finally get to sleep he dreamed he was falling into Tom Riddle's diary again, only it was Snape in the Chamber of Secrets, hanging upside down by his ankle but still laughing at Harry for being so stupid.

LOL.

"Should you--" He took a breath and tried again. "Should you be doing this?" he asked, darting a glance to the bandage on his neck. "You did lose a lot of blood."

A lazy smile pulled Snape's mouth upward. "I think I found it again," he said, "Guess where it's gone." He pushed his hips into Harry, unmistakably hard.

LMAO.

I LOVED THIS. :-) And really, the way DH should have gone.

	Bravo! Well done, mystery author. Beautifully written, so descriptive and masterfully mixed with canon. I'd love to quote my favorite lines here but I'd have to copy the entire fic. who_la_hoop is one lucky recipient! (Reply to this) (Thread)

This is nice in sooooo many ways! I love how mind-opening Harry and Severus were once they were able to talk to each other at the age of peerage. And I also loved how Harry's getting over himself was almost a convulsive, knee-jerk thing that snuck around him from behind.

Although Harry's nagging a reluctant Severus for underage sex is a trope commonly used in Snarry, I still found it charming in this story. And yes, the 'hey-we're-both-not-dead-let's-prove-it' sex was a wonderful release.

Er.

So to speak...

	Lovely, delightful, and so many other wonderful words to describe this fic. I love how differently everything plays out with Harry writing the prince in the beginning. A perfect ending (so much better than that other hideous Epilogue, lol). Magnificent work!!~Sophia (Reply to this) (Thread)

	This will definitly go into my file of all time favorites. I haven't read anything this good in a while. My favorite lines Snape's tongue slid over his like a snake charmer coaxing a snake out of the basket Harry's legs went around Snape's waist faster than they'd ever mounted any broom Hugs, Dixiebell (Reply to this) (Thread)

*speechless* That was absolutely, totally fantastic. I swear, I haven’t been so caught up in a fic for ages. The plot conceit of the Memorius Potion just worked so unbelievably well, and I totally fell in love with the Prince – who was recognisably Snape-ish, but with a glorious teen edge. The ‘kiss’ conversation via the book was absolutely perfect – and I felt so sad for Snape when I realised that he’d thought Harry’d just stopped writing when he admitted his feelings… but that there was no way of taking back the pain without screwing with time.

The main thing I loved about this fic was that the plot just worked so well. It was really gripping – I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next. It tied in so well with canon, while adding that extra wonderful Snarry edge. Their growing relationship was nicely handled, and worked so well for me – and the sex was pretty hot ::g:: The ending was just perfect as well.

Anonymous author, I’m so stalking you to read all the rest of your fics when this fest is over :) Thank you so much for allowing your fic to be regifted to me, and thank you mods for giving me such a wonderful treat! x (turns out I wasn’t so speechless after all, lol. Sorry for such a monster of a comment!)

	You just fixed canon for me and brought back the charm of student!Harry/Snape. Absolutely brilliant! I can't tell you how much I loved Harry talking to his prince and falling for him even after knowing his identity. The erotic scenes are fantastic, and witty, and so hot. Thank you so much for sharing this! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh, wow, this was just great! Loved all of it -- the innovative magic, the clever dialogue, the totally in-character Snape, and oh-so-adorable Harry. And the whole thing was so wonderfully paced, such a tricky thing in a "missing scenes" fic like this. You are my hero, Mystery Author! This is going straight to my top ten fic list.

	That was wonderful. You helped me discover some kinks that I didn't know I had. So many favourite lines, and the two teenagers writing across the decades, snarking and just talking was brilliant. This is definitely going into my 'to be reread and recommended' pile. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Utterly wonderful! Every sex scene, including the ones with just kissing and Harry wanting more, was so *very* hot.

I love the concept of Harry connecting with Severus a teenage Severus, and your marriage of that here to a modification of Riddle's diary writing back (loved that it was present-time for both Harry and Severus) worked so well.

Ha to Draco on the tower being completely mystified as to why Harry and Snape are having a passionate goodbye kiss! There were a number of really fantastic humorous moments here, even as the story itself dealt with the more upsetting issues and incidents of canon head on.

Great work!

	Wow, awesome! Love young Snape and the idea of him crushing on Harry, and him never 100% leaving that crush behind. So painful for him when Severus took the book away and did not allow a goodbye or attempt to comfort himself in any way. Oh, Severus. ♥ (Reply to this) (Thread)

This is the fic I've been wanting to read every since HBP came out! Harry's crush is so perfectly believable, and I love the way he progresses from horror at liking even a younger version of Snape to actually liking Snape, finding everything he needs once he knows where to look, both inside himself and to his prince.

Also? YAY PIE.

*g* Absolutely delicious and wonderful, and worth waiting for. ♥
