nice foreshadowing
I feel sorry for poor Gustov. I wondered at first why they were both in Slytherin when neither really wanted to be there. I guess the Sorting Hat thought Gustov and Lucius could change the attitudes of the house.
Poor Lucius, consumed by anger, grief, and the glamour he uses to protect him. Goodbye humanity!
Splendid new chapter. And a splendid new beginning for Lucius, as well. And the price? Oh, I think you're going to let us know what _that_ will be...
You've got a fantastic, classical style, it puts the whole story into really interesting frame. I love your story, please keep writing!
Author's Response: Hello, Atropa! I'm not as quick to update this fic, but it will be updated soon! Blessings, Niamh
Wow! Steamy stuff, eh? I really like this story, its interesting, and poigniant. I'd love to read more soon! Estriel xx
Just to add--though normally I avoid fics with rape/incest, I can see how in this case it builds a valuable back-story. You depict the child's brutalising by his father with great stylistic restraint and compassion. ~~D'Arcy
You write beautifully and have created a rich and intriguing back-story for Lucius. If you're not careful, we're going to stop thinking of him as a villain and start to fall in love with him! Cheers, D'Arcy
I can't believe that you're not getting more reviews for this. This story is fantastic! Please continue!!
Really well written, I thought it was good, but is it seriously rated G?
Oops! You completely fooled me! Well done; your pronouns are a work of art. (bows to the master)
Well well, what a clever lady you are! There was I, like many others I hope, assuming this poor abused child was young Severus. Wonderfully descriptive story, very lyrical. Please keep writing. I will be your devoted slave.
And GotSnape calls ME the Queen of Pronouns....But I am certain I know who this small child is. This is a wonderful start to a promising story. I cannot wait for more. I love the rich bckground you are giving - the lineage, the legacy. Marvelous!
Ooh. What a gorgeous depiction of the young Severus. More, please?
