rate_review Reviews

I'm still reading. I just found the updates to your wonderful story and re-read from the beginning again. I think I said once before that I loved the letter format -- there is just something really intimate of exchanging letters back and forth between people. I loved how you fleshed out both characters and their journey so far together. I was really upset when I read about how manipulative your Albus really was towards Severus. It is always interesting to see how each author depicts Albus and I am always interested in when he is protrayed in this way. It is funny because from the movies - when I see Richard Harris in the role of Albus, I cannot see the manipulative Dumbledore but with Michael Gambon playing Albus, I can see it more. I wonder if anyone else feels this way. Anyway, I am rambling. I do have to say that I was upset when reading about the break between Severus and Hermione after she discovers the photo in Severus' hands. But after reading the next chapter, it had to happen to bring them to the point of trying to bring about the antidote to the love potion. I am looking forward to the next chapter and hope that your mom is doing better. Thanks for updating. I don't mind if there is a long wait in updating, I just wish AFF had some kind of alert to let us know when the chapters are updated. I have been following some stories on FF.net for over 3 years so I am patient and I just keep looking for the updates to my favorites. And if it is any consolation, I wrote a story on fanfiction.net and I rhad over 600 hits and only 5 reviews -- go figure. I for one will hope you continue to write and finish this story as it really is a different take on the relationship between Hermione and Severus. Thank you for updating.

I'm an admitted lurker of the type that drives authors insane. I love reading - your story is fabulous. It's one of the ones that I look forward to updates. As for your comment that this isn't more porn orientated - so what....I read adult HP fanfic for the adult situations and emotions, not necessarily for the porn. In fact, I skip some stories because of too much porn. Please keep writing and please keep posting.

There's nothing wrong with reminding us it's high time we posted something... we do it to you all the time. ;-)

But it's really hard reviewing something that's perfect the way it is - especially if one is not prone to squeeing. Having said that...

Can I has a chaptur? Purretty purrlease?

I'm still here! and keeping up with reading. I'm sorry I don't review much...I'm trying to be better about it. This is a great story and I've been enjoying it immensely! :D keep up the good work and please keep posting! I like that its not a "porn" story, its nice to have one that focuses more on the characters and the story than them just having sex all the time lol. love it keep it up

AHHHHHHHHH! It's really weird being an author and reading the works of other artists that I think are phenomenal, because I find that I have a true fan response to very select stories where I want to scream and beat down your door, screaming, "MORE! MORE! PLEASE PRODUCE MORE!!!!!!"

On the topic of posting my story elsewhere, I will definitely do that, but I'm going to wait until I'm finished here. I have another five or six chapters or so. I can see the silver lining on the ending and I'm so infatuated with it. Ah... Thank you for your encouragement.

Hey! Back on you for a moment. I like that your Hermione character and Snape characters seem so accurate to the JKR characterizations. Your storyline is also quite flawless. Also, I found the approach you two use, with the letter exchange and switch in POV to be oddly effective.

Thank you both!!!!!!! Update soon!

I have spent the last three days reading this obsessively on my Blackberry. I tried to slow down my rate of reading, but I just can't! That's the problem with this story, really. It is just way too goddamn GOOD for me to put it down and enjoy like a fine wine, and sip sip until you update! I just tilted my head back and shot it down my throat and now, here I sit, waiting for my next shot. Oh God! I must also tell you that I spurned my lover a couple of years ago, but your story has driven me back in the porceline arms and sensual, bubbly warmth of my bathtub, and--ooh!--I thank you!


You two are an awesome team and I love reading your story, it is definitely among my favorites, and I'm gonna put a shout-out in my story for you, if you don't mind!

Can't wait for the next update!!!!!

He is such a fool can't he not see it. The lover for her is already there. Stubborn man.

A very intense chapter. I am so looking forward to the next one. Poor Snape, does not see love in front of his nose.

Release words? I do hope you will explain the mechanics of Albus' curse... or whatever it was he laid upon poor Simon. I'm really curious now: why would there BE a release phrase in the first place?

"Simon knew she was aware he

Thank god for an update. Love the story. My favorite part is the way Simon/Severus inter acts with Yorick the big chicken LOL. Keep it comeing.
