"Damned creepy literary parallels."
~love this line :)

It's very good. I just wish it was a bit longer.
=D

THIS IS THE BEST STORY I HAVE READ IT IS AWESOME!NO BUTS ABOUT IT!

#1: i LOVE the Anne series!
#2: i also love reading Severus Snape relationships
#3: I (so far) love the way you show S.S.'s sarcasm and wit without the malice, most authors cant pull of Severus' character well.
Im excited to continue, so thanx for the good read~ =)

GREAT fic.

sweet story =D dialogue is interesting and kept my attention pretty well. the description of how the five months passed went a bit too fast i think, but i really enjoyed hermione's interaction with Snape's mother =D

I thought I had read most of your stories. I don't know how I ever missed this gem! It's lovely!
Thank you so much. I love your work.

Your story was definitely fun in a light hearted way, however it lacks some key features. You gave no explanation for the differences in their characters from canon and skipped over the development of their relationship. Severus and Hermione went straight from a student/teacher relationship to love. I would have liked to have seen the necessary in-between scenes.

Please take this as constructive criticism, hopefully it will help you in your writing.

This story was very well done. Usually when an author introduces an OC, I loose interest. However, I very much enjoyed this beginning to end. Many congratulations.

As much as I enjoyed the baiting, being a characteristic I like of this -my favourite- pairing, I've some criticizing to make to the story:
Your plot lacks complexity.
It is highly unlikely that Hermione listens to Metallica or Guns 'N' Roses, as much as you and I may like this kind of music, there's no use giving characteristics downright ridiculous to these fictional characters.
That includes Snape being "a sappy poet"; Snape opening his heart without preamble; Snape sharing parts of his life we aren't even aware of... practically most of Snape's behaviour.
I do realise this is an AU fanfic, but if you wanted to go so out of canon, wouldn't it be better if you pick another couple? If you have predilection for the sombre males, you've the whole Slytherin table as well as some Gryffindors to pick from, they are still interesting, yet less complicated and easier to handle as fictional characters.
Please don't take offence in this review, I'm just criticizing a story I liked. Cheers on your work.

I enjoyed this story so much, the characters were believable and in a subdued way everything evolved beautifully. Well done!

I have no words for this but that this was stunning! My only disappointment is that there is no more to read.

3 Cheers and 5 stars.

All I have to say is: Brilliant

I've only been on this site for a couple of days but I think this is one of the best stories I've read so far. Most people seem to struggle to keep Snape in character but this is wonderful.

Oh, this was just absolutely lovely!

Delightful ending; I loved the closure that you've written in the epilogue. By the way, I love the way you were able to use the title, The First Faint Glimmer, in their dialogue. It gave me a sense of rightness to whole piece.

Well done, and congratulation on a long journey to finishing your piece. Thanks for the efforts and for sharing it with fan fiction world.
