Great Job - I love what you're doing. Snape in this light is so....delectable, lol. So willing to torture others to avoid pain himself...and yet still causing himself quite a bit of discomfort. Keep writing :-) Cause I've got to know how it ends!

ugh, I hate him.
That's it, it's official. Sorry my lovely Snapes Goddess, you know I heart you lots, but I can't read this anymore.
Your stupid Snape is driving me crazy! I don't like, no, no, no. :(
He's mean and mean and extra mean...and it's not sexy. Not to me at least.

I'll wait for your other stories :)

*muah* Good luck finishing this one!

Wait, I just read the other comments?
Someone is being mean to you?! Why?
That's not nice.

I mean, I didn't agree with "The Affair" or this one, but I don't think I'm being mean. I think you should finish this story for those who really appreciate it.

I'm sorry someone is being mean to you, that's uncalled for.

Where is your blog? I'd like to read it.

I cannot imagine that anyone would suggest you take this fic down, and yet I get the impression that is what has heppened. with all of the other fics out there, and some touching on much more dangerous subjects than this, those that are horrible written, terrible cliche, have no plot, no point what so ever... and this needs to be removed? as if! i'm still not completely comfotable with their relationship, mostly because i can't imagine myself giving another person that much control over me (and to me, personally, it really is control, and not trust, but that is me). i am interested in seeing what happens next with this story as with your others. i wonder if the last 2 stories haven't been you own personal ways of working issues out from your marriage... and i love the way you've written so honestly with these characters. i still don't get them, but i respect it...

i hope you keep up with this story and others, and ignore those who are giving you a bad time. you are a wonderful, creative writer who gives 100% to everything you write.

as for the story, i currently want to kick snape's arse. although he's physically and sexually a man, it seems to me that his emotions are stuck in his teenage years, when he was hurt so terribly by lily. hermione got him right early on by calling him out on this insane obsession with a girl who never loved him, and truly took more than what she gave. he's lost in the past and is about to lose his future if he can't grow-up and take a chance, and let go of a ghost.

can't wait to see what happens next.

Chpt. 17 -- why the hell is he so stupid?!

I think I have become addicted to your stories! LOL

ahh the humanity that is Severus Snape!!! You proved it! you finally proved it! Severus is human after all! Him hurting Hermione subconsciously proves he's just as human as everyone else! Great job! I can't wait for the next chapter!!!!

ok so i just read your blog and i am pissed who in the hell has been frustrating you needs to keep their comments to themself!!!! ok i know it is good to have criticism but it needs to be CONSTRUCTIVE!!!!! it is not good to limit yourself to certain writing styles when there is soooo many things out there to explore and read not just from the writing stand point although i think writing different styles helps you grow as a writer but also as a reader yes everyone is allowed there favorites story types and yes everyone is allowed to make the decision to ONLY read those type of stories but PLEASE if you KNOW that you are not a fan of a certain type of story and KNOW that you can not read it with an open mind then DO NOT read it!!!! it is not like you did not place an authors note at the beginning warning everyone that this was totally different for you.... and IF these people call themselves your fans then they are wrong BC a true fan will see your writing and the talent in it rather than the story content so much and if criticism is needed then it will be done properly... they will be able to read something that you write even if it is not something they enjoy JUST bc you wrote it... hell i am a chicken shit and i cannot WAIT for your scary dm/hg fic i mean i will have to read it with all the lights on in my apt but still that ain't going to stop me!!!! I think we all started reading these fanfics bc of love of the HP world but through this we have not only continued being a fan of this world but being a fan of the farious authors as well it has become something more you authors have taken JK's world and taken it to a whole new level by exploring what could have been and in some instances what SHOULD have been (severus dying hmphh really...) and developing a story line from that... i know that these fics are not only something i enjoy reading but something that has become an escape for me at times when RL is being a bitch it is so great to be able to log on here and lose myself in this world just for a bit esp when things are soo overwhelming and stressful and one of my fave stories to open up is honestly anything by you SG i have read his saving grace sooo many times but i am never bored of it bc although i know the whole story line it is nice to read it among others and they all make me feel better and have a happy ending when RL is not looking so happy!!!! anyway i hope you do not take down this fic i love it so and i think i love this severus more then others honestly he is sooo yummy when he is all dominating but vulnerable at the same time and not everyone falls into a relationship without doubt also hermione is soooooo not a doormat hello she is submissive to him THAT does not mean she is a doormat strong women have feelings and insecurities too and they are allowed to be emotional geez she isn't a robot... ok ok so i have ranted on enough i hope that this has helped and i hope to see delicates update tomm..... :-)

Hi, I just read your blog and decided that you needed some support. I personally believe this story wonderful. I like what your doing. I personally like Hermione more shy and innocent. There is nothing wrong with this story. To be honest, the story you wrote that I had the hardest time reading was "The Affair". That will be the one I will not read again, but I still enjoyed it. "Delicate" is NOTHING compared to "The Affair", in my book. But what I feel more than anything, is I don't want you to pressure yourself out of writing what you WANT to write, and what inspires you. I must addmit, I am not a writter myself, I'm more afraid to attempt it. But I know that EVERY story EVER told, whether fanfiction, non-fiction, fiction, etc... there is always those out there who hate the stories. These people are getting to you, and that's not fair. You have the right to write what you want, and if they don't like it, READ something else, or, hey here's a thought, WRITE YOUR OWN STORY THE WAY YOU WANT!!!!!!! Leave others alone. Constructive critisism is welcome, but please, don't remove the story, and don't EVER avoid writing a story because SOMEONE just won't like it. Though I'm very bad at reviewing, I have been a faithfull reader of yours SINCE THE DAY YOU PUT UP THE FIRST STORY, and I like what you have to tell. Now, to write my essay...

I just finished up to Chapter 17. I read your thoughts about some readers not liking this story because it's "not you" and your musing that you'd just as soon take it down. Well, I don't know who "you" are ;), but I hope you don't take it down. I'm enjoying it. I think this is a very possible side of Severus. I've read all kinds of weirdness written about Snape--some of it very squicky, some of it very horrific. I can deal with a little squick, so long as there's attachment (love?) involved. I can very well see that he might have a dark side. I think he's dreadfully sexy. (Personally, I'd pay to see Alan Rickman read the phone book.)

The only problem I have with this story is your characterization of Gretchen: "bland American accent" lol So we don't have as refined a speech pattern as the BBC Brits, most of use are hardly bland. She must come from the Midwest, because everywhere else has a definite sound--Bar Harbor is different from Brooklyn is different from Tulsa is different from Macon is different from Minnesota and on and on. ;)

I have come to like SS/HG pairings. But for life experiences, I think she's near his intellectual equal. She was born old. Most of the time she doesn't act like kids her age, and so is a good match for Severus. (My husband was 12 years my senior, and we got along famously--I was born old too!)

Please continue with the story. I'd love to see Severus finally make love to Hermione, and I think she needs to snark off to him at least once for him to take her in hand or she will walk all over him if he lets her.

I can't wait to see where you take us. Thanks for the evening's entertainment.
