    Title: Don't Look Back
    Author: AngelofDarkness1605
    Rating: M
    Genre: Romance/Angst
    DLP Recommended Category: Romance or Independent
    Pairing: Harry Potter/Bellatrix Lestrange
    Status: Work in Progress
    Summary: When Bellatrix Lestrange kills Sirius, Harry wants to hurt her as much as he can. She doesn’t seem to feel pain, and there is for him only one other way to punish her for what she has done. But is she really the mad and cruel woman he believes her to be?

    There we go - my first suggested story - I hope I posted it in right format and that there is no other post for this story on DLP - I searched for it and I haven't found it.

    I quite like the story - congrats to the author! :)

    Stumbled upon that summary some time ago, but didn't read it, since I feared the last sentence. Now you posted it here and I almost decided to give it a try... until I remembered that you were the one who thought the first part of the Titans Trilogy was great and every other reviewer on the board was wrong.

    So I had a look at the reviews first and what do you know... not only is her madness an act, but there is also hugs and tears and instant-love. Now I like that pairing a lot, but instant-love kills a story faster than you can look. That goes double for Harry/Bellatrix, and triple if she isn't a quite insane, sadistical bitch.

    That story, however, seems to have it all, so atm I'm very glad to not have read it. I won't rate it, but this review alone really, really made me want to give it a 1/5:

    The first few paragraphs looked promising, then it all went to shit with "oh-my-god-what-have-I-done"!Harry. Dropped it as soon as the word sorry came out of his mouth.


    Not worth a rating but for the sake of tradition: 1/5

    No rating sense, like others, I couldn't get past the "Sorry". That, and this story auto-fails for being Harry/Bellatrix post-Sirius. Yeah...go sleep with the woman that killed your godfather.

    Crap/Crap

    For similar reasons as the above, I dislike the story as well.

    Something that irked me was Bella, after the 'sex', went all nice/kind/sappy. Yea-No. Pass.

    Tried to read it a while ago. Such a waste of time. No point in listing all of this story's failings too, why wasting even more time?
    1/5

    To clarify our dislike of your story, I'd simply like to say that we as a community abhor stupid character and situations. Harry isn't going to feel 'love' for the woman who killed his godfather this quickly, no matter how much of an act it was.

    But what made this infinitely worse was the fact that Bellatrix was acting. Why do you think we enjoy Bellatrix Lestrange so much? She's sadistic and evil - pair that with her alleged beauty and you've got the ultimate anti-lovey-dovey pairing waiting to happen. You destroyed that all and for that you deserve less than a single star.

    Like many people here would do, I stopped the moment Harry said sorry.

    And that not even being 1/4th of the first chapter, speaks how much fail this story is.

    0/5, just because I'm generous.

    Now I know that anything you suggest is bound to be crap.

    And no. No congratulations to the author.

    The summary didn't look very promising, and the story itself is not worth commenting.

    When will people understand that Bella is insane and evil, and that she should stay that way? (With very, very few exceptions)

    He posted a few in another thread. I have no idea whether or not this one came first, but both sucked some serious ass.

    Edit: I take that back, I just got confused by this guys lack of anything intelligent to say. All of the fics he's endorsed so far were the ones that only a fangirl/retarded monkey would like.

    I can't get past the 'Harry/Bellatrix'.

    UGH.

    Just... no. NO. Not going there.

    0/5. Fail.
