I'm just so excited when I see a new chapter up. Love her revelation at the end of this chapter!

I did not see that coming. Well done! Less formally, Holy crap! I love it.

Well, shit. What a cliffhanger! I can't wait to read the next chapter!

Oh. My. Gawd. This story is completely amazing! Trite, I know, but I don't know what else to say! The way you break everything and everyone down, furthering the reveals, the hidden dynamics, the inner core of each person - its nothing short of amazing. It's really difficult to find a story that can achieve this level of sophistication and smuttiness while maintaining plot, dissection and surprise. I almost feel like this is a murder mystery without the murder. Thrilling. I'm going to rec your story on a FB group I'm in. Loving this so much. I'll be patiently waiting for an update, because God only knows I'm slower than a frozen sloth at updating my own.

I was liking this story. But I abandoned it in the middle of chapter 6. When I first read that Hermione was a sex therapist I thought it was going to be interesting. But she ended up being really uptight, with no work ethic (discussing one patient with the other), with double standards (she got 2 patients expelled but not Snape because she wanted to shag him). And Snape is a self-righteous bastard, who thinks he's better than the therapists at knowing what the patients need... Just no...

'Sigh' Another magnificent story so far. I need more! LOL. I think Hermione is coming out if the balloon thrust is any indication. I want to play. Reminds me of a game I played with lifesavers once. You hold a toothpick between your lips and attempt to pass the lifesaver onto another's toothpick without hands. Or the game where you hold a potato under your neck and another tries to remove the potato with their chin. That was always fun because hands and dips were usually involved...potato usually forgotten. Lol! I'm rambling I know but I always have something that relates to your stories. That's why I love them. That and I'm always interested in anything with Severus. :) Loving it..don't stop, please.

“Do you wish to continue?” ... YES YES YES! Awesome chapter. I love Georges game. It made me laugh so hard.

oooh hell I love george, that game was to funny, I could easily picture it!

I guess I do expect more from Hermione. It's her job to be accepting; by not being honest with herself, she's failing those under her care. Who could ever trust a sex therapist who can't accept something as commonplace as BDSM? Of course she's intelligent and sympathetic enough to help people even with this massive flaw, but she should know that you can't be a productive therapist with those kinds of limiting opinions. I've never been to sex therapist, but I know I could never truly open up to someone who had such a narrow view of the world. You don't tend to be honest with people who are judging you. "In the wars," seems to be a Britishism from everything I read (which would of course be appropriate in an HP story). I actually really like it and am wondering when I'll be able to slip into into my own speech/writing. "I’ve been quite deliberate in not beautifying the language in this one too much as I think it is sometimes complex enough without the floral tributes. But, then again, I’m not sure if it is too straight, what are your thoughts? ‘"—No, I don't think it's too straight. I actually didn't totally notice that you were toning it down. But now that you mention it, I rather like the idea. It's kind of a cerebral/clinical story, and the writing reflects that. (I don't mean clinical in a dull or antiseptic sense, just that it's very mentally/medically involved.) It has been harder for me to pick out lines I like for pure writing reasons, but that doesn't detract from the story in any way. I'm still emotionally drawn into the story and characters without the aid of florid wording. While I like clever descriptions, they aren't necessary to make a scene pop. I agree that making this story any more complex might be overkill. Being understood is the most critical aspect of writing, and verbose prose isn't always necessary. Simplicity has a beauty all its own. Weasladol—Hahahaha. Now I can't stop think about Weasley based meds. (SudaFred. Ronitussin. Pepto-Billmal.) I always like a chapter that starts out with stripping Snape. You can't go wrong with that setup. (...more academic interest, than anything else.—Take out the comma.) It seems as if the stripping is symbolic of her tearing down his defenses. She's leaving him vulnerable (but not completely; he's not buck naked). I liked the imagery of "allowing them to ripple open down to his navel." And "narrow window of flesh." And "she gently grasped the shaft of his cock through its tight satin skin." I can't figures out how fucked up Snape is. Is he just keeping himself safe by avoiding people or is something more going on? He seems pretty damn uncomfortable with her touch (but not enough to lose his erection). ("Not one to ever particularly think about the quality of men’s cocks she was, again, surprised to find herself so entranced by his."—Comma between cocks and she.) (regarded her with an, almost pained, expression.—Take out the commas.)(Pulling his cock slightly toward her she lowered her head—Comma between her and she). I like this whole scene, but I love the manual and oral descriptions. I don't know if I'm simply aroused by his arousal or if I just like the way your phrased it. Either way it's exciting to read not only for sexual reasons but to see how he's going to react (emotionally not physically). Torsional is great word. Word notebook. For some reason I like how he touches her hair while she's sucking him. I might be the affection of the gesture, or it might be because it's his acceptance of her "help." He's not grudgingly going along with things, he's inviting her in. And she's trying to make him feel as comfortable as she can. (Gulp. Salty acceptance.) I'm intrigued by George's balloon game. Particularly the pairings. I like Dennis with Sarah. Cute. And now I suspect that George knows about Snape and Hermione. It seems as if he's trying to diffuse Lynch's possible jealousy by pairing him with Hermione. He might also be trying to spark Snape's jealousy. (And/or Hermione's.) And obviously I loved Luna's suggestive comments and George's adorable reaction. I can't wait to see what happens next. As always, eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

Thanks so much for this amazing story. Cerebral, plot driven, and sensual with more than a touch of mystery. Thanks again.
