Just finished reading the newest chapter! :D I get so excited when I get the email saying it's updated. I stop reading whatever other fanfiction that has caught my interest and read the latest chapter. :3 I will admit the ending nearly killed me. I didn't realize I was near the bottom until I read Severus' last line and tried to scroll down more to find that was it. >.< I love the way you write your story. It's unlike any other fiction on here, but the way you write their interactions and thoughts is so believable. I think that's part of the reason I like this story so much. Their interactions and growth does actually make sense and makes for a fantastic story. :3 I absolutely can't wait until the next chapter is up. Keep up the super duper amazing work! :D
As a side note, I've been on this site a little over 10 years now, and you are one of three authors out of hundreds that I have actually left a review for. Bad I know, but I really only post on ones that I really love and I'm dedicated to. You are the only one I've reviewed twice. Although, the other author made a Facebook page for her writing and I added her on there too. :3 Just wanted to let you know that you are awesome and will always have a fan in me.

Hey, readers! Is someone else wondering about Nigel and how was it that Sev met him? I guess Sev's previous life as a death eater and his present baggage of guilt have something to do with that.

Woo hoo.... update on my birthday!!!
Well, at least he followed her, even though he failed her by believing that she wouldn't take his order at face value and defer to his experience. It looks from here that he actually does have feelings for her, but doesn't want to give them to her. I think that she is smart to give him what he asked for (no relationship), at least for now. It seems like he needs to decide if she makes his life better or not, and if he really wants to give her a chance to make it so.
I did have a little sympathy for Nigel in the beginning. He clearly adores Snape, and Hermione's jealousy prompts her to say some pretty ugly things about him, even though she's not cruel enough to say it to his face. I haven't actually seen any evidence of a sexual/romantic relationship yet, though. Teaching him things about D/s isn't necessarily the same thing as having a sexual and romantic relationship, even though that can be the result. If it isn't romantic and physical, then both Nigel and Severus are toying with her. If it is, Severus is toying with both of them, but one possibility is that it is out of ignorance/dysfunction, so there is a bit of a chance that he is not a complete bastard and is just damaged.
I also think that Nigel deciding to open the door to her bedroom was inexcusably rude. That was NOT Severus' bedroom for him to feel free to enter. It was a very purposeful, Slytherin move. That he felt justified because he had been stood up was not good enough, and I don't know that Severus is going to take kindly to the maneuver. But, to be fair to his characterization, it's the kind of thing that a younger person is apt to do. Insulting a woman- his rival- after she had such a horrible day (caused by Severus) and had expressed her love for Severus was also a bit of bad luck for poor Nigel. But also, in Nigel's defense, Severus is responsible for sending him lots of signals as well. Own up, grow up, Sev. Those two are not the only children playing on the playground today!
But dog gone it, he does care for her, takes care of her and tries to protect her. I can't get too mad at him when he does that kind of thing. It's too sweet, even if he's really bad at the emotional thing.

Wow! Interesting chapter and full of drama. If Severus is not careful he is going to lose Hermione. I wonder if she will try to move into the potters house for a few days to clear her head. Keep writing and I look forward to read many more chapter! This story is currently one of my favourite.

This is probably one of my all-time favorite SSHG stories at this point, and I'm caught up. The concept made me smile -- almost a silly excuse to get the bow-wow track going. But perfectly reasonable, for all that. But it's not silly at all, aside from some of Fred's inventions, and that's requisite. I love the sheer quantity of sex in this -- more than in standard PWP -- and I love the rough sex especially. But it's the complexity, interest, and probably uniqueness of they're relationship that has me so enthralled. I really hope it's still active, and that you'll add me to your update list if that's still going. Thank you!

There are so many things that I want to say about this story, but I have no idea what to actually say! I'll come back with a more in depth review because I'm just to amazed and spew bless to write a proper one right now. You're just amazing!

That was awesome. Someone was listening to RENT..... brilliant! I thought that her sleeping with Charlie was kinda gross. But I guess that's the whole point. (Charlie always seems to me like your friends older brother who's always leering at you and your friends when you're out by the pool. Creeper. Anyways....) I liked that whole "flinge". That's such a creative std. You're so creative! Not only do you do sex toys but stds too. I liked how at the end she throws back his comments back at him. Finally she's starting to grow some back bone. I realize that she's been through some tough times and that she's suffering from ptsd, but come on...Hermione is confident and strong. Hopefully she'll take her shower and give severus a good kick in the ass. Then maybe he'll see that he's being a moron for constantly pushing her away. But he's so sweet to he when she's not looking...aww we. I really hope you update soon.

This story continues to be completely addictive, even though I hate Nigel for complicating issues even further between Severus and Hermione! And even more complications with Severus throwing Hermione out, and then Charlie in Tunis and the Flinge...I hope the next chapter comes soon!
