I absolutely love how this story is playing out! Couldn't imagine anything more perfect from Severus and Hermione!

I absolutely love how this story is playing out! Their relationship is so frigging perfect.

Comfort and joy indeed!! So glad they are finally working through the nonsense and are able to see each other. Hopefully now they can have some lemony fun without the projection. Haha

Damn... I want that. Down to the carol-coitus. heh. But comfort and joy...? That sounds perfect. It'd be really nice... even without the verbal assurances and waiting for the other shoe to drop and wondering if it would be picked up again. *sigh*

Neville's reaction to our leading couple was about the most perfect reaction to seeing Severus and Hermione a couple I've ever read. The visual was perfection. I had to read it to my sister-in-law along with an explanation, which made her laugh. Made me glad I'd decided to check fics tonight when I wasn't originally planning to do so. Getting "excited" while staying on my in-laws' couch for the holidays isn't exactly a Comfortable situation. ;) But chapter was SO worth it. I feel everyone's reactions were so believable. Hagrid was awesome about Crookshanks and the whole situation.

Dream Crooks & seeing into Severus' soul Crooks... I feel he's judged Severus justly and found him acceptable to watch and care for Hermione in Crookshanks' absence. I feel THAT is why Crookshanks felt he could pass on when he did: he knew Hermione was in good hands.

Harry took everything rather well, all things considered. I adore little baby James. Too precious. Hermione's explanation of death to the child was just about perfect. My lil'man is rather old hat about dealing with death and people or animals being gone that he is a staple in his school's grief therapy groups. Since his father passed when he was 8 days he's very good at helping other children find comfort in that they at least have memories upon which to cling when they lose a parent or other loved one. It's one of his best traits, and something on which I try to make sure I commend him often.

Thanks so much for writing.

This story is amazing! I'm completely engrossed with the fine balance of plot and conflict, with just the right amount of smut for a story that's not a oneshot. I never thought I'd feel such diverse, strong emotions for a story in a website like this. The complexity of your characters is refreshing. I can honestly say I can't wait to be captivated by your next installment and will be devouring all your other stories in the mean time. Please keep up the great writing, and Happy Christmas

I can definitely see the wisdom of naming chapters rather than numbering them. They do tend to run together otherwise. The sheer volume of your writing must keep you so busy. I find that banging out a few thousand words every 4-5 days is difficult enough. Do you have the same sleeping problems I do?

So I liked this chapter for many reasons. There was a full journey of emotions and satisfying resolutions which was pleasing. The Christmas puns were great. The sex scene was, as always, excellent. I like how you keep looking to change up the descriptors

I've very much enjoyed reading this story over the past few days and I can't wait to read more.

Yay! Haven't read yet, but super excited for a new story, loved the others. Off to read now :)

Poor Hermione! I'm so glad Severus was there to help her with seeing her parents and then with Crooks. I really didn't expect that to wreck me the way that it did; you really are a tremendous writer. Thank you so much for this story. I love all of your work and this story is just sublime.

Since this chapter takes place in my neck of the woods I was always going to be interested. And of course, at the risk of sounding like a nauseating sycophant, I have an insatiable desire to consume your stories. As an aside, I think the reason I like your writing so much is that your normal warm and funny personality (as communicated through your notes and reviews) comes through in your writing. I
