The whole thing.......f'ing brilliant!

You must have been reading my mind because I was just thinking how lovely an update on this very fic would be. And it didn't disappoint, but then it never does.

Oh, evil cliffie!!

This is the best story ever. I know I've told other authors that, but I totally mean it this time. *g*

I don't know why I didn't comment on this story before, considering it's the best SS/HG I've ever read (Tyger!Tyger! is very close but I think SPT wins out because it has a more direct plot), and a very interesting story, period. That is to say, I'd read this story even if it had nothing to do with the Harry Potter universe.
I can hardly believe it has so few reviews when, as far as I can see, it's great in every possible way.
I can tell that you are very intelligent, but your writing isn't pretentious... it's just good. Your style is distinctive and interesting, you have a subtle sense of humor that works very well, and I am fairly amazed at how long your chapters while still being interesting and completely coherent... not to mention how seamlessly you blend the perspective of all the characters without making the reader feel disoriented.
You don't lay plot all out obviously either. There's a mystery in your writing that keeps us interested. Sometimes you don't tell us exactly what's happening, we have to read carefully to comprehend it fully.

As far as the characters go... again, just brilliant. Normally I hate Draco in anything. I feel like authors just drop them into their stories for the heck of it. I've actually quit reading stories that were otherwise fine, simply because Draco was running around in a large, unrealistic role. Somehow though, you work it out very well. Draco's part, paired with Millie's is perfect. Severus and Hermione alone in America would not nearly have been as interesting.
And Millie! She's... she's just so original. Her backstory blended beautifully with the Harry Potter universe. I feel like, generally, when authors try to come up with new magical scenarios it feels awkward and forced, but you (as is the general way with this story) work it out very well.

And Hermione and Severus? If you had explained their characters out of the blue to me, I would not have been behind this portrayal. An insecure, emotional, sexually inexperienced, Severus doting on a very experienced, emotionally stable Hermione? Not my usual cup of tea, but I have to say... it seems so obvious now that I've read this. Of course this is how they should be! This Severus is much more realistic than the controlling sex-god of other fanfiction! And why, really, should Hermione be such a blushing virgin? Your portrayal makes so much more sense that I can sort of not believe it.

And Severus being such a hard-core rock fan? Genius genius genius! Seemingly obvious, yet completely original.

Anyway, this is becoming very long winded but I just want, so much, for you to post a new chapter. I hope you will soon.

This story is the best. thing. ever. I squee like a maniac every time you update.

Chapter one. I happened accross this and began to read. One chapter and I MUST read the rest. this is so witty! Thank you for an incredibly original & entertaining look at a usually ignored character.

i love this story. i'm so glad you updated. more soon i hope:)

Yay! New chapter!

Don't really know what to say. As per usual, with each chapter you reveal new layers of Snape and, as I love about this story, Millicent shines as well. I may actually like her more than Snape in this one.

Worth waiting for.

I was thrilled to see that this was updated. It totally made my evening.

So glad Sev finally got his oral sex even if he was half blitzed out of his brain. Poor chap, never can catch a decent break.
