PLEASE READ!
I hope some of you get to see this as it's the only fucking way I could figure out to communicate with you (can you tell I'm a bit frustrated?). I wanted to let everyone know that AFF.net has been glitching and not letting me post new chapters. I've tried everything to fix it but no dice. SO chapter 23 can be seen only on FF.net at the moment and I'll be posting chapter 24 in the next day or so. Really sorry guys.
You can find this story under the same name and pen name on FF.net.
Thanks!

This was fabulous! I really love how you are slowly drawing draco and hermione together. It's so realistic and sweet. It makes me reconsider how sloppily I threw my own story together and a great example of how I can fix it :)

Is it horrible that I want to believe the dry humping was just for me? A little gift to satisfy my sick needs? I love how you are wording hermione's overworked and overcomplicated mind. Draco is being such a patient love, I just wanna hug him. Darn that Issie (don't know why but I've started calling her that), butting in at a very lovely part. Guess it had to happen...lest they go mad and screw hard, sloppy, and embarrassingly satisfied on only one side of the coin. Would have been cute though, they always paint Draco as some sex god. Really, when in the world would be have had time for that? Its nice to see him inexperienced and scared and totally in love for the first time. Guys falling in love is so alien to me, I love to see it written well.

Please don't ever stop writing. I am addicted to this story. Im only just about to start chapter 11 and I can't get enough. Im so enthralled that I actually made an account just to tell you how much I love your story. The first few chapters brought tears to my eyes because it really is so very realistic. I still get that sadness when I read some of the other chapters. You do such a great job of explaining the details with out getting boring like some authors tend to do. Your story feels much more natural than the other stories I have read. I can't wait to catch up and continue reading this fanfic! Ill probably review more later, but I just couldn't contain myself! :)

Let me tell you something.

I very rarely venture off of FFnet. Why? Because I just do. It's where I started, and I have found many good stories on there. Today, however, a quick search of my usual parameters (Draco/Hermione, Romance and either Hurt/Comfort or Angst or Drama, Rated T or M, and a preliminary read of a first chapter that almost always results in "Oh dear god I cannot read another sentence of this shit") revealed that I may have dried up my pool of choices to read on FFnet. I googled Adult Fan Fiction, looking for something with a bit darker theme but some humor, well-written, etc.

Your fic was the first one I clicked on, on this site, and I am damn glad I did. I love it. Your portrayal of Draco and Hermione both is spot on - his open, braggart-ly way of first announcing his changed allegiances to his reluctant way of sharing real details and actually opening up. Her raw, all-consuming rage and depression to her resignation of control, at points. I LOVE what you've done with it all. As a fellow writer it gives me great hope to read something that I enjoy thoroughly and then to see similar pacing and style to my own, because that's what's GOOD. My only disappointment with this story was that it is not yet finished - and a quick look at publish and update dates revealed why. It's still in progress! Well, that's good, at least I didn't stumble upon an amazing, half-finished and then abandoned fic as I have done before.

I'd love to talk to you more about a few elements and if you might let me borrow a few for upcoming stories, as I do find myself trapped underneath a massive writer's block. Eagerly awaiting your next update.

In a bit of a hurry so alas, this review will be short and sweet.

Loved it.

The last 2 chapters have been real feelgood types. I liked how you showed a real human side to Draco and i lol'ed at him being so out of his comfort zone. Other stories tend to make him out to be some kind of marty stu, unflinching sex god of a man, but you portray him much closer to canon as a young man with many flaws and insecurities, and i applaud you for that. That kiss..was..PERFECT, the setting and the build up along with the description made that scene pure gold. It will be interesting too see where they go from here. This is probably the only story on this freaking site where i actually like Draco. You are one of the very few writers who actually takes time to properly build up the DracoxHermione relationship without resorting to character assassination,cheap cop outs or cliches.

The fact that i am not a big fan of Malfoys/Slytherins/douchebags etc is a testament to your skills as a writer.

-Waits.....and hungers-

What can I say about this chapter.....maybe that it was practically perfect? Draco just seems so real and so out of his comfortzone but its cute. and the way you wrote the build up and kiss was great! Can't wait for more
