Brilliant! This story was wonderfully complex and very well thought-through, I think you've got a great skill with plot and character development/exploration! Keep writing, I'd love to read more of your work!

Such an excellent story! So many twists at the beginning that I wasn't sure which way you were leading me.  My journey, however twisted, was amazing and it ended in a wonderful place. Also, very well written.

Great ending, realistic and yet somehow hopeful.

Wow, fascinating.  I kind of want to go read those books now, though it'll be a while before I get the opportunity.  Thank you, and good job.

This is intriguing and rather gripping.  Keep it up!

I think there's something more here.  The information Severus found is just a little too pat.

This is so interesting.  I can't wrap my mind around what is wrong with Harry.

No surprises in this chapter, especially given the story warning.The only remaining question is whether Potter's ailment is inflicted or inherent; that is, whether or not Lucius is responsible for it. It would not be unreasonable for his problem - which appears, at this point, to be disassociated identity disorder - to be a side-effect of his childhood upbringing."Richard" seems to be a child-like personality with a powerful desire to love and be loved; the sex could be a manifestation of that, or it could be the conflation of sex and love with childhood sexual abuse; though I would not suspect the latter, given the lack of a warning.

This is a really wonderful story. I read it all on LJ, but thought I may as well come review here! :)

Author's Response: Hey! Thank you for reading and reviewing. I'm thrilled you liked the story enough to follow it here. And thanks for the 'friending.' I just saw you at 'lovedraughts,' too. Boy, you're everywhere today!

Well, you have me hooked.  Is Severus real or imagined?  Living or a ghost?  Will the ending be happy?  Or will all the questions be answered at least?

OK, I'm trying to figure out what mental illness he has.  Loss of time can be a schizophrenic symptom, but also other illnesses can have that symptom.

This is a very, very interesting story. Nicely done.

Oh this is a very sad post Voldy life for Harry. Can't say as I am surprised though. I would expect some sort of mental trama after that kid's life.

This is interesting, I'm looking forward to reading more.

Oh my.  We're up to four now, looks like.  Angry, suave, child, and Harry-Harry.  Interesting...  I'll be looking forward to your next posting!

Oh, wow.  This is fascinating and intense.  Not knowing anything about Dissociative Identity Disorder, I don't know if you've done your research and made this nice and true-to-symptom, but I really hope you did because I'm drawn in completely by the idea of psychological repercussions of the War.  Of course something like that would leave marks.  Not just a sad feeling, not just depression (not to minimize depression, but)- leading a war at 17 would knock most of us for a spin, and it doesn't seem even slightly OOC that Harry's mind would protect itself in this way.  I'm definitely following this one...

I've decided that Harry was cursed and the effects are similar to some mental health issue.  Hopefully Severus will get it all straightened out.

Poor Harry, this problem he has seems to be getting worse and he's probably frightened.
