Amazing story can't wait for an update

Ohhh goody!
Update ASAP please ^^

Your story... I don't know whether to absolutely love you or hate you! I want more, but I LOVE what you've written! When is the next chapter going to be out? I just started your fic two days ago and couldn't stop reading! IT WAS SO ADDICTIVE!!!!

WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
You're killing me and I LOVE this story

Please don't kill him, please don't kill him, please don't kill him. That is all.

Noooooo!! You would leave us there.. /cries. Great chapter!! I completely feel for Severus and Hermione.. and knowing what is going to happen just breaks my heart.. I really hope Hermione will understand and they are able to come back from this.. Thanks for the update and can't wait for more!! Happy writing!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo forboding flailing feels nooooooooooooooooooo

And that is my review.

But it's so good. Loved the backstory stuff and the kiss goodbye...understated but more poignant than a poignant thing in a poignant competition.

The precious retreat into Severus's mind- his mother, his past- it's brilliant. I had meant to mention your characterization and craft of Eileen earlier- but forgot. So I'm glad we briefly revisited her here. I cannot help but wonder what Hermione would think if indeed she did know that he had crafted those spells, it's bound to come out eventually- because I believe he shouts at Potter when the twit is chasing him- that he is the half-blood prince. Poor Hermione. And on top of that you didn't give us any of that delicious delicious smut that you usually do...ah well. They did get close, but Merlin only knows what's lurking and creeping about. With Harry away with Dumbledore- we didn't really know what was going on back at the castle. Of course this begs the question- the end is approaching- yes? Which reminds me- while I was *patiently* awaiting this update- I went back to reread a few of my favorite chapters- #10 being one of them because of that delicious shower scene- and while I know I had previously commented on the little quirk where he said he knew exactly what she wanted but was curious to see how long she would take to ask for it or at the least take it- I had also wanted to fist-bump you over the brilliance of his line about it being a thinly veiled attempt to see if he would flee from water and soap. That was comical genius. But back to this chapter- the 40th- letting us see him unraveling all the more makes our hearts bleed for him. Especially when we know what's coming. I just hope Hermione's heart doesn't break apart in the process. They really have fallen in love with each other and care a great deal for one another and you've done a brilliant job of having that happen slowly and steadily over time, unlike some of these stories where they have a one night romp in bed and BAM it's I love you and let's be together forever, mushy mushy gag gag. You've brought it about in such a natural and organic manner that we can't help but cringe when we think of what's coming. You're going to wedge them apart and it's going to be an agonizing hell. Can't wait for the next chapter.

I must also add- as if I haven't added enough- that there had better be some more nookie before 'the deed.' I can wait for the perfect build that you've spent 39 chapters thus far crafting for them to their "I love yous" on...that's all well and fine, the mushy sentimental heart-string tugging bits can wait; and I think organically they need a bit more time to ruminate and breathe anyhow. But there needs to be more heat, at least once more- so that she isn't totally bereft and so long forgotten when the shit hits the fan...oh poor poor Hermione!

Good you ask? It's always good. This is one of my all time favorite fics I can't get enough! I hope your wrist is recovering well and that you're not in a lot of pain. This relationship you've built and continue to build between Severus and Hermione is amazing. Watching them both slowly discovering thoughts and feeling for and about one another is beautiful to behold. I know many unpleasant experiences await my most favorite couple but I have complete faith that no mater what the relationship between them is only going to grow stronger! You're a beautiful writer with a ton of talent! I can't wait for the next chapter!
