This was a very sweet story and I truly enjoyed reading it. It most certainly falls into the WAFF category. I think the only thing--at least the only thing that I felt was missing a bit--was a scene or two that would really show a mental connection between Lucius and Hermione beyond the physical attraction. The pancakes in the diner was really sweet and I think a great ice breaker, to see someone as rigidly controlled as Lucius to take a simple delight in something like chocolate chip pancakes. I would have just liked to have seen them connect on another level before they became intimate as well. (I know I'm a picky little thing) Aside from that it was a really good heartwarming story and a bit of a tearjerker. I think you balanced both the love and grief that Lucius felt and really humanized his character and portrayed him as a person I could see Hermione falling in love with. I know writing is your creative outlet only when you have the time to put pen to ink--or rather, hand to keyboard--in your spare time and only as the muse allows but I do hope you find the time to write some more. Especially if you are putting out works similar to this. I'd love to read a longer Lucius/Hermione paring by you her even Severus and Hermione. (I seem to have a similar affection for pairing Hermione with mare mature wizards though I was never fond of her and Sirius) I know this story is still lacking the epilogue but I do think it stands well without one and even so, I do hope to see one someday as well as the completion for your other works. Take care and I hope the creative muse stays with you.

Oh, I just loved this! I have had an awful holiday season so far, so thanks for helping me be happy for a while! Hope you had a good break!

Brilliant, I am so happy Hermione and Lucius are back together. Poor Lysander though, his little heart will probably break when finding out that Hermione has another boyfriend:-))

Just read chapter 2, have to stop there for now...bed is calling. ;) I like what I've read so far. After reading chapter 1, I was disappointed because I like the part about how they get to be together best in these type of stories. So I was very glad you went back in time and told that in the second chapter. I do hope you will not wait to long in continuing 'the storm' though...

They're all moon goddesses, of course. Good chapter, love the exposition.

Artemis, Selena, and Luna all are names of Greek/Roman moon goddesses. I like it.

That was so sweet and darling.

There is one strange thing to me. Pancakes. Pancakes are only show up one a year in the UK. Shrove Tuesday...so them eating pancakes at Christmas is weird...but it is your story...and I like how sweet it is.

Hermione is stubborn...poor Lucius...I'm just glad that he saw her and knew that she was there

I like it so far! The whole "break up and get back together" is a refreshing change on the 'ship. Can't wait for more!

Thank you for another great chapter to this story! I really like this, and I absolutely love the idea of getting one chapter each day until Christmas, it sure makes the waiting time more enjoyable when you have the pleassure to read a great story while waiting:-))
I look forward to read more!
