Wow. This was SOOOOO awesome! Just when I thought I'd figured out what was going on, you'd take it in a different direction, and it ended up being far more satisfying than any of my conjectures. I loved this idea! It was a way to have the whole universe (universes) of HP make sense and be totally satisfying. I'm also a sucker for The Little Prince, so thank you for your wonderful tying in of that story. I loved that I couldn't figure out why Harry was so good at potions, or why Severus just couldn't seem to remember anything, or why so many little things were different for this Severus from Harry's memories of Severus. I can't belive how many hours I just spent reading this straight through!

Great job, totally compelling and addictive, and one of the very best stories in Snarry Games history.

Thanks! I'm a sucker for canon-compliant (or near-compliant) Snarry fanfics and as soon as this idea was conceived, I knew I had to write it. I think The Little Prince is one of the most beautiful stories ever written and I've been wanting to work it into a fic for a while.

I have to say, for you to say that it is "one of the very best stories in Snarry Games history" has me grinning like a complete idiot. I think that's the biggest compliment I've ever received. Thank you so much.
