Hi BM!

Guess I\'m tuning in kind of late to the fic, but I didn\'t know YOU wrote TSF until joining the DHR group. I had of course heard all about it before I was a D/Hr fangirl. Anyway I read it, loved it and just had to tell you. I did get a bit sniffly at some sparts too.

Neuri.

Dear BeautifullyMalicious,

\"This Subdued Fire\" is one of the most excellent stories I\'ve read in a long time. I love the epic-ness, the diligent research and the style of this story. I was as eloquent with words as you are, so I can decently write a review for you; alas I not, so I\'ll try my best. I think it\'s amazing that you put together this story. I liked the way that you sectioned this into three parts; each part evoking a different tone. I\'ll admit initially I thought this was going to be another plotless \'fic or a boring one, but you proved me wrong. The middle of the story, Hermione\'s despair, deeply moved me. I can only imagine waht kind of pain you had to draw upon to write something so dark, angsty, angry, morbid and morse. And I liked the transitional period that Hermione went through from physical recovery to her hellbent determination to bring down Voldemort to her peace of mind afterwards.

Again I was most impressed with the direction you took with Hermione\'s characterization. This darker version of her was enjoyable to read. I never did imagine her as a saucy \"hellcat.\" But you wrote her well and with edge. And that I am thankful for, since I\'m not a fan of mushy-ness.

Oh Draco, our resident badboy. No complaints from me. I loved with what you did to him. Or rather Hermione.

Of course you have the gift of writing. Not that I\'m pedantic about grammar and syntax and the whatnot, but I found little wrong with your 39 chapter story. Thank you for taking the time to have beta-readers or to proofread your story. And thanks again for not being cliched with the \"chocolate orbs\" for eyes. And thank you for making me up look up words, I needed a good refresher of my SAT vocabulary words. (I meant that sincerely.)

Lastly, thank you for entertaining my holiday season. Cheers & I\'m looking forward to your lastest projects.

ie ree read your entire story, beginning to end, and have not commented. for this, i am sorry. but i can make up for it. you see, i have to tell you that i strongly beleive you have exceptional talent. i was so stuck to your story. i have DSL, and i have it up running basically 24-7. now, i have chores, homework, and other things like anyone else, HOWEVER, theres a slight problem. i put your story in my favorites, and i read, and read, and read every chance i got. after school, until eleven on a school night, you name it. this story and your skills are absolutely amazing. i could not stop reading! and you had the emotions, the wording, the storyline, and -(yes, the smut) perfect. it was all perfect. no criticism here. actually, the sadness and downfall that hermoine hit made me sad. i cried, especially with the \'whole of gryffindor at the funeral\' part. goodness, i know this story is done, but i hope you return and check your reviews, and know what an amazing job you did. girl, if HP was yours, you would be so well known even two year olds would know your name. especially with this story... the battle, the ending, everything, i cant get over it. very intriguing and interesting. *cheers*

love,
admiring reader

Dear BeautifullyMalicious,

I don\'t know whether to wipe a happy tear from my eye or do a traditional fangirl scream of joy. I\'ve been following this story for about 4 months now and have thoroughly enjoyed it ... it\'s in the top 3 favorite fanfictions of all time. Your smut scenes were awesome!! xD I\'m going to read it again this weekend or next, and then I can leave a longer review but...I just thought you might want to know how much I loved your story! So here it is: GOD I LOVE THIS STORY!

yours,
diana
