	Just read this wondrous fic, again. It is so deeply moving, and I am so grateful that you had this vision, and worked through the challenges to get it to fit onto paper. Truly a Snarry classic - I hope you have posted it in several places, so that iit does not ever disappear. (Reply to this)

Whoa...what could I say what's not already been said about this wonderfully and well written piece of Snarry fiction, that has kept me entertained just until now. I'm not even a native speaker so I guess I'd make an utter fool of myself by trying to write a longish review here. I'm simply at a loss for words. There are no adequate words for me to describe just how enjoyable this fic has been.

Everything was so well thought out, well written, a lovely reading experience. I like it how it goes with the events at the end of that last book. Your Harry and your Snape are beautiful. The characterization is fantastic. I really was afraid for the ending though, for I'm not really fond of unhappy endings. But you did well there as well! And, oh, the scene in which Snape let's Harry see his memory whilst he's dying from Nagini's bite, had me nearly crying. I had a hard time suppressing it.

Okay, enough of my babbling. Just wanted to say, thank you for writing and sharing !

	Having revisited this fic for the fourth time now, I guess it's about time to tell you that this is maybe my all time favourite Snarry fic. You're a fantastic writer, and this fic wrenches my heart every time. Thank you! (Reply to this)

	Thank you for writing this. I'd been having a horrible weekend when I stumbled across this story. I was almost too sad to even read it. I did though. It let me forget for a while. Now I feel much better. It was very well written and the characters were relatable; I really felt with them. Well done. (Reply to this)

请原谅我，我在其他的网站上面看到的是《Rapture》的授权翻译版，所以造成各种词不达意与主观情绪。
以我贫乏的英文根本没弄清楚标题，在前半部分的阅读中我真的以为这是个悲伤的结局（很明显我误解了Rapture这个单词的意思，英文的限制让我后来哭笑不得。）
--
不得不说，这是一部杰出的杰作。
在前半部分，每一次看见哈利的穿越，都为教授感到痛心与悲伤，因为这是“已知结局的故事”。最后，这个世界只剩下哈利。每个人都有了新的伴侣，人生，但是哈利，就像是那些患了“战争综合征”的老兵一样，你知道的……我每次想到这样的结局就泪流满面。
即使他们两个感到莫名其妙的吸引力，他们为了他们的相知相遇而欣喜——却还是为了这样的结局而哭泣。
--
然而，教授没死。
教授没死，真是太好了。
--
为什么悲剧总是让人缅怀而喜剧却让人遗忘？就像罗密欧与茱丽叶，如果最后他们在一起了，那么就没有这部作品的流传千古了。
但是，对于教授，每一个同人作品的创作，都是为了给他一个更好的结局。
所以教授，西弗勒斯·斯内普，他没死，真是太好了。
--
感谢你的故事，他们一点也不突兀，人物刻画的也很好，情节很吸引人。
谢谢。

最后，因为第一次在外文网站上面留言，所以造成什么不便实在是抱歉。

	This is the best damn Snarry fic I have read in years. And definitely one of the best I have ever read. This was gorgeous, and fantastically written, and incorporates canon so beautifully instead of disregarding it that I am now considering this story to be my personal canon. Really, I can't begin to express how much I loved this story. Well done. (Reply to this)

one of the best ffs on earth !

so I'm rly sry that I had to write this anonym but I'm not registered at insanejournal and I HAD to write a comment. I really love your ff. Yesterday was really frustrating for me because I had to learn (this is my last year at school and I have to write A-levels soon and everything is so frustrating and hard und stressing and simply TO MUCH) and I just couldn't concentrate anymore and I wanted to read something that takes my concentration away for a short while. Unfortunately (or luckily however you want to see it ^^) there was the fact that your fanfiction was SO BEAUTIFUL AND WONDERFUL WRITTEN (and that's an understatement- I can't express how perfect this ff is <3) that I read it all day during school (and I can't remember a single thing of what my teachers said today ^^)
Especially you version of Snape is wonderful. There are too many ffs out there where he turns out so wrong -I'm totally sick of it. But here it's as if his thoughts come to you like a gentle breeze that whispers in your ear and you just HAVE to listen and then you get tears in your eyes and IWEIDQWIHEDqh those FEELINGS. Your heart is about to crack and your eyes are burning with the tears that are still waiting to fall down and WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME !?!? GAWDS IT'S SO WONDERFUL NEVER STOP WRITING. IF YOU STOP IT I WILL HAVE TO KILL YOU PERSONALLY. Btw you know I first read the german translation on fanfiktion.de (it's really good the translater made a good job :3) but it's unfinished so I looked for the original because I simply can't live without reading the end of Rapture ^^

This story ripped me apart and put me back together all in one fatal swoop. With every word, every touch you can feel the desperation and ache of a love that you want so much that you would give up anything for it. That's what you feel when you read this epic.

The ending gave me chills and haunts my thoughts- the idea of Harry trying to put what they have into words and trying so desperately to figure out how it all ends shows his innocence and the moment where Sev makes him realize that it never ends pulled an indescribable feeling out of my heart.

	I'm very late to this party, but wanted to let you know just how much I loved this story! All I could think as I was reading this was 'how have I not read this before now?' This is one of the most beautifully written snarry fics that I've ever read (and better than plenty of published books out there too)! (Reply to this)
