I just wanted to say your story made me cry. I kept hoping that they would fine a different way to save Severus, then Hermione dying, but that did not come to be. You wrote a very beautiful story though. Thank you for sharing this.
Vampire Snape was wonderful, remorseful yet dangerous. I love how he was basically invading her dreams of him, enveloping and luring her with their history. Seems like something a vampire would do, that kind of nefarious seduction of the mind and body. (how very anne rice of you) I will admit that I did not see this ending coming, it makes perfect sense and when you think about it it does in fact seem like the road that would be taken, but I suppose I imagined that things would all work out in the end for our lovers. How very deliciously sad that it didn't, my heart broke and yet it was truly the perfect ending for this so I am conflicted. (In the best way) I've read quite a few of your stories at this point (5-6) and I must say that I've enjoyed them all, I plan on reading the rest of them as well. Looking forward to new stories

I may sound childish, but I'm still too emotional from having just finished reading the story. It was beautiful, have no doubt, and in a way the ending fitted... just... with all the pain and tragedy in the world I like to see a happier ending in a fictional story.
After his sufferings, Snape deserves some happiness and you were most cruel to let him live knowing it's because she died. I know it's just a story, but still. Now my emotions are getting the better of me, so I'd better finish here ;)
Thank you for the wonderful, albeit incredibly sad story. Thank you especially for sharing it with us.
Hoping that your next story would be as good as this one (maybe just with more cheerful ending) and wishing you and your muse all the best,

As for this story? I cried like a baby through the final moments of Hermione's life, and then made my husband hold me afterwards so I could finish reading the rest. This was so beautifully written. The imagery painted in my minds eye as I read from beginning to end has been colorful. I'm left breatheless in moments and hanging at the edge of my seat through the rest, and even long after the story ended I had hoped you had more, like some strange sort of reincarnation tale. Strange I know, but I had to share. Thank you for an excelent tale of love and sacrifice.
Sincerely

Don't apologize for writing a dark fic; if everyone wrote floofy romances all the time, I'd sit here and dry heave all over my laptop. Fluff has it's place, so does a dark fic. Especially one as well written as yours
Keep it up!

Also, if you are the cryingcinderella that's also on ff.net, you should totally post this there so I can be lazy and let the website inform me when you've updated *wink*
