absolutely loved this. you are a fabulous writer and story teller. loved the premise as well. great job

I thought this was a wonderful story; brilliantly thought out, written and paced. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Well done!

I really loved your storie, a big favorite of mind, I especially love the end of it where in a way you explain the prophesy without explaing it and you have to really understand it in order to make sense of it, anyways loved it and cannot wait to read more of your stories.

I love this story - it's unlike any other I have yet read, and it's good enough to keep me up late reading. Also, I have to admire ANYONE who can manage to write this much in a week. It's... amazing. (I, on the other hand, procrastinate muchly.)
My only problem with this fic is that I want to grab Snape and start banging his head against the wall every time he goes on about making Hermione fall in love with him. He will fall in love back, or I will hunt him down and make him see the error of his ways. Still, the harder they fall, eh?
And that's just the way he is anyway, so it's not blame. Sorry if it came out that way.
Anyway, much love for this story!

um. well, this is my first SS/HG that I've read, so, I absolutely have no ground to stand for, but I have to say that this was awesome. Well written. Fantastic... bloody briliant...

but... only thing that was a bit annoying is Dumbledore calling everybody around ''son'' and ''child'', that was pretty weird. Hope you'll understand...

Keep on with the good work, and, I'll say it again- this was awesome. :)

This was a great fic. It was interestign to see Victor's role. Altough I am sad to see you didn't use Luna but I truly enjoyed it

Hi there,

Just wanted to FINALLY tell you how much I love this story, having read the full version several times over at Ashwinder. I reccommend this story to people all the time, and it's honestly one of the best fanfics I've ever read, and best HG/SS hands down.

I wanted to let you know, (besides how much I love what you have written for us to enjoy) that I've drawn a few HG/SS images that were strongly inspired by your story. They aren't directly referenced from scenes, but the general relationship and situations were very much inspired by your work. fanfiction . net has a horrible tendency to delete links, so I'll just direct you to my profile where there is a link to my deviant art gallery. There are four drawings all up on my main gallery page. You may need to log in or register to see 3 of the images as they are rather "lascivious," as one might say.

I hope you check out the images, and I hope you like them half as much as I loved your story!

If you ever have a specific request (a scene or scenario you'd like me to illustrate) please don't hesitate to ask! I'd love to do a scene straight from the story if you'd like me to.

Once again, just want to commend you on a fine, FINE job. Your charactarization was pitch perfect. Your writing style easy to read, discriptive, and wonderfully paced. And the way you wrote the love scenes was perfectly realistic and in character, nothing exploitative or cliched about any of them.

Can't tell you how much I admire and cherish this story. I really, really do. Thank you so much for writing it, and for sharing it with everyone.

Cheers!

Dear Lord! I LOVED this one.
Hermione's dark, an emotional rollercoaster, Severus completely in character... geez, how did you do it? It's brilliant. Even Marriage Law involved... *hach*
Superb, amazing, I don't think I can sleep tonight...^^

*singsing* Really, really enjoyed it, thank you very much for such wonderful reading!

Lovly story! Interesting plot! And a happy end! What does one need more!

Wow...This was just...WOW. I love this! It has to be one of the best SS/HG Fics i have ever read. You captured them both so perfectly.Severus especially. After every chapter i found myself saying wow out loud i was amazed at the quality of writing, you are a truly amazing author and this fic is up there with the few well written SS/HG fics. I shall recommened this to every shipper i come across and i will keep my eyes pealed for any signs of new writing from you. Again i love this, it is in my favourites and it is one of those fics you can read again and again, it kept me smiling with the light smattering of humor (which got me into trouble as my mum thinks i am doing coursework so when she sees me smiling or laughing at the screen she knows instantly what i am doing and in a voice Severus would be proud of i hear "What are you doing? Your reading again arent you?!") So i bow to you, your fantastic :D

I LOVE what you did with the Viktor character. It's probably one of the most logical progressions I've seen for him. While a Death Eater, there are still loyalties and loves that supersede that -- he mirrors Severus that way. However, he succeeds where Severus failed with Lily all those years ago...and has the grace to let Hermione go even though she does live. Severus gets the girl, and Viktor can exit, stage right, with no baggage. Both men are effectively "fixed" (not in the PetSmart way, but you get the idea).

Great story, I was recommended it by a friend and she was right.
It has broadened my horizons for HP fan fics somewhat although i'm not sure how much i agree that bondage would be pleasurable!

okay... I just found your story... I've been reading it since about 3pm. It's 9:06pm right now... That in my mind clearly justifies how amazing and utterly awesome you are :) I'm going to be checking your profile now to see if you have any other's that I should check and read ;)

I spent the better part of my day ignoring work and obligations to read this...it's been an amazing journey. The slow development of the relationship between Severus and Hermione, the whole concept of the various blood rites, Snape's balancing act on the razor's edge, everything came together beautifully.

Thank you so much for sharing this story. It is greatly appreciated.
