I remember liking this the first time I read it, but I can't remember if that was before or after I wrote my own 'string someone up and torture him for information' scene. Mine is similar enough that I would have to acknowledge the influence if I did - so, thank you very much, and you did a great job! I like that it is a slightly ambiguous ending. We know what Severus and Lucius have decided, but not how it will play out.
Okay, this is the second story I've read so far that should be continued, and considering I've only read two stories so far is saying something. Don't waste good plots... and let Severus get away, wandless magic or a rescue, doesn't matter how he escapes as long as he does!
I very much enjoyed this. Is this a one-shot or is there more to come? Both ways are fine but I loved the way you wrote Lucius.
grrrrrr.... i wanna get in there and hex lucius a bit.. teehee... very nicely done. i could see lucius so clearly and imagine him thinking all of those things. If you ever write another chapter to this or some sequel, please let me know. Brilliant!
Author's Response: Wow. I'm so glad you liked it. Compared to the quality of your writing I am just a "drugstore paperback" writer. Thanks so much!
Very intense. I believe you have captured them both quite well. I like "hearing" Lucius' thoughts as he tortures Snape. Good job. Is there more or is this a one shot?
Author's Response: Thanks! I never though I would be able to convincingly write Lucius - obviously I am more evil than I thought! At this stage it is a one-shot, but I'm not against continuing the story if I get inspired ;)
Great story. You totally wrote Lucius, especially when you could see inside his mind. Awesome!
