BRAVISSIMO!!!!! I loved your story and the way both of you write. I t was very nice and sensitive. Although sometimes I thought Hermione was acting a bit too mature for her age, anyway, that made the story more believable. I\'ll just tell you one more thing: I know I\'ll fell kind of incomplete now that the story is finished. It was part of my routine to see if there were new chapters posted. I\'ll really miss Needfire.

Wow...That was seriously my favorite fanfiction ever. It was extremely canon. Excellent plot. Gosh, I\'m speechless, and the end made me cry. Congratulations on finishing the story and I hope you two continue working together to write others like this.

I started reading this fic but after about 4 chapters I felt I couldn\'t really get into it, and abandoned it for a while. For some reason, by the time you had 12 chapters up I decided to give it another go, reading it from the start. I\'m very glad I did, as I\'ve been following it avidly ever since. Thank you, both of you, for an excellent story, with fascinating characterisations.

Oh...
Dearest Areola, dearest Melisande,

I don\'t really like epistolary stories. But... but this here was amazing. The first letter by Hermione - it reminded me very much of Jane Campion\'s \"Holy Smoke\". The main character was sending very similar letters, from India. And \"Thank U\" - I really like that song. The poem was also beautiful - I must admit that I\'ve only once or twice seen Cummings\' name and read none of his poems before reading this story, but I did borrow an anthology of his poetry from my local library, and loved them. They are printed both in Polish and English, so I can understand them better, and read the original version. I like him very much, he reminds me of my favourite Polish poets, Stanis

It\'s about time I left a review to this wonderful piece of fiction. As we are nearing the end I am getting a bit anxious about the last chapter. As I know it is already written I can only hope that it will not throw me into yet another fit of despair.
I have been reading this from the very beginning and I want to compliment both of you for creating a captivating story with sometimes frightening intensity. As wrong as the relationship between the two of them unduobtedly is, I just love the way Severus is presented here. As much as Hermione depends on him for obvious reasons, I think he is the one who is truly dependent. Especially after losing his magic, he falls back into his very own isolation and despair, and no one but Hermione can save him.

The last letter written by Severus is so incredibly poetic and so full of lnging that I could not help but reading it again and again and wishing that someone would only once even consider writing something like that for me. Especially the last part: I would move myself, the mountain..... has reduced me to tears.

One of my favorite stories I have ever read along with the beautiful work by Azzazello, But You Alone, the ending of which left me crying for days. I hope this one won\'t do the same.


Why don\'t you publish this story on Ashwinder, b.t.w?


Plase keep on writing, both of you.

I\'ll probably have a lousy week at work because I\'ve spent the weekend reading your story. Please, Please, Please tell me that there is more?!! This complex and convoluted story of love, loss and redemption is complete as it is, but I long for that happy ending that still eludes Snape. How can you end it like this? Doesn\'t Snape deserve a happy ending too? I was hoping that he would get his magic back with the death of Vold., but it seems not. Why does everyone have to torture the heroes? He has given so much of his life - doesn\'t he deserve SOME happiness? And Herm.? We have seen her as lost and tortured as Harry and Snape in your story but now we don\'t even know if she\'s alive or dead. Snape\'s letter at the end was heartbreaking. I hope they\'ll find some happiness together.

so lovely! so articulate! so absorbing! this is a masterpiece.

That was a very heart wrenching chapter to read. They both are so sad in their lives and longing for each other - even though it is mostly unhealthy. I can\'t wait for your next chapter to find out where Hermione has gone and why the owls can\'t locate her.

Wow. I sat and read this story from the beginning. I was astonished at its greatness in the beginning. As the story slowly came to an end I was even more wrapped up in it. Then Snape lost his powers. I didn\'t know where you were going with that one but I had hopes that you would return Snape\'s powers to him at Voldemort\'s demise. I see however that you did not. I\'m disappointed. Why leave him that way? There is no good reason to. I know there\'s a thing as no happy endings but in this case I think it deserved one. I\'d like to think that this is not the end of the story but just a really really evil cliffy. Please don\'t let it end like this. Please.

Holy Jebus. I don\'t have the words to describe this chapter. Is there another?
