As I've said, I always like the Author's Notes, and these are pretty good.

Oh, endings... *sigh*

I really enjoyed reading this whole thing, you are an incredible writer.
And I know it was emotionally draining on you, but the story was really deep.

By the way, awesome AN ;)

Heh... I scrolled too. XD





























And now you had to scroll a little! *is evil*

I'm sorry to hear you're taking a pause in Snarry, but I hope all the changes in your life go well. :)
And hopefully you'll still post something on here every once in a while... *pokes* Because your stuff is so awesome to read.

(Thoughts)

Damn it, I scrolled too, you horrible woman!

Alright, I feel the need to say this....HOW COULD YOU LEAVE IT HANGING LIKE THAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! But, you already knew I was going to, didn't you? I also want to say that if I had known you were going to do this, I never would have nagged you into posting the story in the first place! Hmm.......on the other hand.......maybe if I nag you enough you'll put an ending on this? As I often say, "Hope springs eternal."

So, having said that, and as you leave it open ended, I'm going to make my own assumptions. I assume that at some point forgiveness will be involved. And, as I'm a sucker for a happy ending, and being that all along I've thought that Severus did was out of character, I'm going to assume that Dumbledore did give him something, cast a spell, curse or hex on him, or in some way or another contrived to make Severus do what he did, perhaps for some vague and obscure reason of Dumbledore's own. I will assume that Harry, having learned this, does forgive Severus, and, being that they've both already declared their love for one another, it will indeed, in the end, conquer all....erm....and maybe Harry will decide that a bit of couples counseling wouldn't hurt either. Yup, that's what I assume will happen. Yay! I love a happy ending!

I am glad to see you're posting Author's Notes. (and not because you mention me frequently and I like seeing my name in print!) Seriously, because although you did tell me the sketchy barebones plot and you did ask me a few things or show me a few things, for the most part I had no idea what was going to happen, and I always like to see what motivated and/or caused an author to write what they did. I think Author's Notes give a fuller insight and understanding into the story and characters, and generally help to tie up loose ends as well as answer any remaining questions. Plus, they're just interesting to read, so thanks. I hope that when you do come back to writing Snarries, the next one will be a little less harrowing, cause yes, I was terribly upset at what you made Severus do!

Wonderful as always!

Wow, you are a writing machine!
I was surpised (and delighted) to check my email and see not one, but two updates! *does a happy dance*

Oh, so ends part three *tears up*... and what a cliffy! What happens next?! Gah, must know!

Heh! I laughed at the glass stopper bit; that was unexpected given the tone of the whole of this part. I did wonder what exactly Severus was planning after writing that letter, he seems completely unable to break off contact with Harry. It's nice to get a little respite from the unrelenting darkness in the previous chapters, although don't get me wrong, deep emotion is good!

I really can't wait for more chapters! *greedy* You're sustaining the pace of plot progression really well, it's moving along just perfectly, not too fast (and even worse, I usually find) not too slow.

(Chapter 27)

GRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

Why do you insist on torturing us so?!?!?! How can you leave it there?!?!?!?! You are EVIL!!! And no, I will NOT quit nagging!!! If they had the tearing the hair out icon on AFF that's all this review would consist of!!

Frankly, I don't believe Dumbledore for one second, that wily old coot! I agree with Harry completely, it isn't like Severus, no matter what, no matter that he's spent years and years as a spy and hiding his feelings and keeping an iron control over himself, for him to break like that. And I find it highly suspicious that Dumbledore seems to actually condone what Severus did to Harry, brushing it off by simply saying that love can make you do strange things. And yeah, there's that saying "You always hurt the one you love" but not like that! I don't doubt that Severus does love Harry, but the manner in which he has shown it is so completely out of character, that I can't help thinking something has been done to him, or given to him, or a spell, hex, curse put on him, or that this is some other cockamamie plan of Dumbledore's. So dammit, get to writing the next bit! Update! Immediately!
