I found this story and was rather addicted, reading through the chapters. I saw the author\'s note and realized you thought you\'d written yourself into a corner. Actually, you haven\'t. It can still go along the same idea you\'d originally started off with. Harry can be the one who helps Severus. It would take some Harry Potter determination to get past the problems...and a good practice in occulumency and other things. I do think you need to try to continue this.

Writer\'s block is an evil condition, hope you get over it.

To be honest it could be pretty easy to get remus into the story, you pretty much have him there already. You have remus carrying severus in the last chapter and he is going back with them to presumably the castle. He could stay and offer to help look after snape, he could be the replacement potion teacher etc. There are many possible reasons for remus to stay at hogwarts and i am sure that once you have him a fixed charater in the story many ideas will just pop into your head.

Good Luck with further fics, even if you don\'t finish the story. :)

[patts authoress\' head] there, there. I understand. I have the same thing with some of my stories. Espacially the first I ever wrote. When I have a block, I usually don\'t think about it, and when I don\'t think about it, new idea\'s just pop into my head. Or you could use my other method - twirl the idea\'s you had earlier in your head over and over till you\'re satisfied with the scene. My method numbah three I don\'t think will work on you (thay is of course if you have the habit of banging your head on a wall or table when you want it to start working; that got me through a lot of test\'s in my life). I won\'t give you any idea\'s because you are the authoress, and you should write the story, not someone else. Plus, me likes your idea so far ^_^
I am a patient person, therefor I will wait till your block goes away. I won\'t presure you with \'update soon\' because I know it\'s annoying and it doesn\'t give a shit (pardon my french). Either way, good luck with finding a plot bunny. Ta ta

Don\'t stop now!!!!! I\'m not sure I like normal MPREG stories, that\'s why I left this one first, but this one is kind of realistic. Stopping at this point would mean no hospital, recovery or angsty scenes anymore... Suggestions I do not have, since my writingskills are lacking, but yours obviously aren

You have to finish the story. It\'s really great. Just an idea, but perhaps there could be some sort of sex magic that could make the baby Severus\'s and Harry\'s rather than Severus\'s and Moldy Voldie\'s.

You could always have Harry confront Lupin with his part as a witness who never spoke up and let Snape continually live in fear. Just because of that (personal feelings) I don\'t see Snape trusting him enough to get in a relationship. Then you have all the nice yelling that will occur when people find out the father unless someone decides to cover it up and find a different father.
I like your story a little, can you tell. :-)

Say it ain\'t so !!!!!!!!!!! Have Harry rescue Sev from MoldyVoldie, marry/bond with Sev, adopt the child as his own and remove Sev from the machinations of Dumbledore. Anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please don\'t kill this story. Just step back wait for some ideas, I agree I would like this to be a Severus/Remus story as well.

Hi Setosgirl,
I don\'t think it is dead. Just stunned for the moment. Go get that muse of yours and have her hit you with some good ideas to finish this story the right way. Never give up a good idea and this story is a good idea. I just spend the whole sunday afternoon rereading it and it still got me hanging on the edge of my chair and in very much want for more. Don\'t leave me and all the others hanging. Yes, Snape\'s mind is broken, but this is the point where Harry comes in and helps him heal and help him with the pregnancy. They become friends and later lovers. Harry is like a father to the baby and distroys Voldemort. See, not dead, just stunned.

Good luck with the story and don\'t give up jet.
