I first stumbled upon this story a few days ago and thought to myself 'why not' and I have to say it is not at all what I was expecting. What I thought would be a quick skim of the first couple of chap's only to confirm it wasn't for me turned into a three day long marathon of reading chapter after chapter, captivated by every word. Upon realizing I had reached the end of the updates I find myself biting my lip and squirming with anticipation of what is to come. I absolutely love this story! So much so that I'm not sure I can do my adoration justice with simple words! The way the relationships are building is slow, but so steady and authentic that its not boring or drawn out but feels natural and right.

I can't tell you how much I love little Teddy and all of the interactions he brings to the story, and Fred oh my God! I love love love Fred! :D he acts so much like the bossy house wife that I can't help but laugh at the picture that always forms in my head when he and Severus interact! The develipment of the relationship between Remus and Severus is intriguing and makes me misty eyed. I can't wait to see more of these characters and were the road leads them next!

Loving this~

I'm so sorry to hear about your grandfather. Between this and the break-in, you haven't had such an easy time of it these past few months! Thanks for not giving up on this story - I've really fallen in love with the way you write these characters and their relationships. You alternate nicely between moments of character development and plot advancement. Even in the less exciting scenes, I am so smitten with this whole household that I would happily watch them eat breakfast and put clothes in laundry hampers and not feel bored in the least.

You handled that scene with Remus and Severus perfectly - the one in which Remus tries to convince Severus to pursue another relationship, I mean. You managed to have Snape communicate some feelings and such without any over-the-top, non-Snape-y dialogue. And as much as I love your steamier chapters, I really like that with this one you chose to show more of the development of trust in their relationship. It's exciting to watch their growing mutual attraction, but also great in a different way to see the way they're starting to take down the walls and let each other in.

In short, it always makes my day to see a new chapter up. Kudos to you for making it this far (37 chapters, wow!!), and for continuing to give us your best.

My condolences on your loss, Grandfather's are very special and I am very grateful for the time I had with mine. I hope you reach the point where you are able to enjoy the memories without pain soon. That said, thank you for the new chapter. I am always surprised and delighted with how the story goes. It is just predictable enough to be "real" and never so predictable as to be boring. By the "real" I mean that the characters are developed, don't act in inconsistent ways and yet are human enough to be surprising and interesting. Thank you.

Charms work? Hmmm like what? Still one of the more interesting stories currently being written. I hope we will read more Harry appearing but being put in his place for sure. The scene's where he blew down the back door was priceless.

New analogy: reading this story is like having an exciting summer fling with a guy you immediately click with, and you spend every day together, and it's so great...until he has to leave town and suddenly you can only see each other sometimes on the weekends...and after a while he hardly ever calls anymore...and you keep hoping maybe at Christmas he'll come back and everything will be like before...

Sorry, I know you have a life, and this much writing takes a lot of work. But I'm madly in love with your story and I really want to find out what happens next!
