So sorry for the loss of your beloved companion, Suki. Pets are never just pets, and 13 years is a long time. Take what pause you need to grieve, I am sure all your true fans will understand. Sending you hugs. :-)

I realized that my review was too long to fit, so here's the rest:
(Cont'd) But my favorite character, well at least after Harry and his 4 lovers and his 6 cute babies, is definitely Richard! I don't know why either, but I just think he is absolutely adorable! Although he behaves childishly (he's forever young and that's cute~) but he does have a mature side too when he's dealing with serious issues, such as Harry's case. I was thrilled to find that he makes frequent appearance in these more recent chapters, although it hurts to see that it was mainly because of the issue on Ashleigh or the Dursleys' case... I know that Richard's scar probably has his own story that may appear in later chapters, and that he'll be appearing for the Dursleys' case and for resolving the conflict between Harry's family and Ashleigh, but seeing the cuddling/comforting scene in the chapter where Richard talked to Harry for pressing further charges on the Dursleys, I can't help but ask, could you just slip in a few more Myron/Richard lovey dovey/comforting moments (hopefully a short scene?) for the later chapters? *puppy eyes with furiously batting eyelashes* I know they are not the main characters, but just for a Richard fan here...? Not that I don't like Ashleigh, but in her current state, I'd skip her... While I sympathize her tragic experience, I hold the same opinion as Amelle.
Oh and just a note here, when Blaise or someone else starts to rattle off in Italian and French or any other languages, could you add a special note for its translation or the general gist of it? Although I'm fast in learning Chinese-related Eastern languages, English has probably taken up most, if not all, of my brain's limited capacity for Western languages... Darn I envy Blaise and Nasta, and even Harry's Parseltongue...
Oh gosh did I just ramble so much...? Well I enjoyed the read and really hope to see your next chapter soon!

oh no I am so sorry for your pain. Our furbabies come to mean so much, and I am often inconsolable for days when one of mine die. *hugs* it never stops hurting, but thankfully the pain lessens a bit over time.
The story is excellent of course, and I am so happy to see Harry's life going so well, and saddened, of course, by Severus' deep loss.

Oh Mon Due Star! you broke my heart! i finally get the energy to prop myself up in bed and read a chapter and my heart is broken by the end of it. Poor Severus!! I was hoping that maybe there would have been another submissive Dracken for him but i guess it's better that he goes to rejoin his mate and child. A beautiful chapter as always and I wait patiently for more.

Hello, I just wanted to say that you are an amazing writer. I just began reading this story and I wasn't able to stop; I love your characters and the plot and the atmosphere. I love how I am able to go into your world when I read your chapter.

I believe this might be one of my favorite chapters due to all the emotions. I felt Max's sadness and I felt Severus's pain. I am saddened that he passed, but I feel at peace that he's able to be with his love again.

Condolences for your cat, Suki. I'm glad that you were able to have 13 years together. I adopted my baby boy, Zander, almost a year ago and I honestly cannot imagine my life without him. Take all the time you need, considering this is purely for your enjoyment as well as ours and it is not a job.

I look forward to reading your next chapter for all of your brilliant stories =) Until we write again

Loving the story!
However, this review is more to give you my deepest sympathies for the loss of your cat. I recently had to have my dog put down, and I know how hard it can be to lose such a vital part of your family like that. Just like any other member of the family, no words can truly comfort you. So, I'll leave it with this, a slightly nerdy responce from myself: I grieve with thee.
You're in my thoughts,
Sarah

Yet another absolutely fabulous chapter, even if I did want to cry through most of it! It's quite rare anymore for a fanfic to affect me quite so powerfully, and I look forward to more, though I can certainly understand the oncoming delay. I've only been a pet owner since March (I got one dog in March, and we just took on another rescue last week), but I can't even begin to fathom how heartbroken I'd be if something happened to either of them. My first got away from me twice in a week last month, and the second time it took me forever to find him, and I was hysterical until I had him back. Just the thought of anything happening to him had me in tears, so I can't imagine how hard it must be to lose an old friend. My thoughts are with you! I'll wait patiently for you to feel up to posting again, but know that I absolutely love the work you do.

I know how hard it is to lose a pet. I had to put my cat sally down last year on the week of thanksgiving. I had her for fourteen years. It will hurt and be depressing with out your kitty but time heals. I fortuantly had another cat that was sally's brother. He is fifteen now. He helped me through it. I loved the recent chapter. Do you think asheliegh will finally get help? Or remus gets a good kick in the ass?
