Heals to the heavens lol

aww that's heartbreaking

sweeeeet

This was wonderful! I'm getting the monoclonal antibody infusion for covid and just finished your story. I was feeling rather poorly but your fic was what distracted me and got me through. Thank you for writing and sharing. I'm so glad it ended with Hermione being the Minister.

After Sin and Vice,I couldn't wait to read this story and I must say it didn't disappoint me... Storyline was new and unique and this new way of storytelling (jumpled up) was quite interesting ... I missed some smut here and very much missed an epilogue , I really wanted to know how our favourite couple and their kids are doing when everyone know about their marriage and Hermione is now a Minister... kudos to author for this awesome story

I've read this fic several times, and yet I was today years old when I realized the street is called "vertically"

This is amazing! I loves the jumbled up chalters, it's so different from anything else. You can really feel the love they have for each other seeping through, over the years. Thank you!

Loved this!

I have to say I prefer the story better the way it is - the chronological order takes the mystery out of it

I love the way you wrote this scene - that despite the grey which comes with Severus’ life the way he loves her makes everything else irrelevant

That's a wonderful idea. At first I thought that hiding your relationship for 20 years was nonsense. But the author gave very good reasons.

The plot is excellent. The overall structure of the story is well thought out beforehand. The jumping from time to time doesn't get in the way, but who needs it in order read AutorNote in the last chapter. It was interesting throughout the book. The dynamics of the narrative are not diminished. There are no pointless fillers. In 37 k words fit what is usually written in 370 k. Brevity is the sister of talent.
Internal/external conflict. The piece has not only internal "conflict" (the relationship between SS and HG), but also external conflict (SSHG vs. world circumstances and other characters), where the pair can demonstrate how well they can act together, how they enhance each other as they tackle challenges. I love it when the SS HG relationship stretches from their first year at Hogwarts.

The characters are amazing. SS and HG are very canonical and the author managed to demonstrate their intelligence not just by saying they are brilliant, but by countless examples. For example on interrogations. There were no occasions for their children to show genius (but they are in the ravenclaw and help with the studies of the underclassmen), but they showed loyalty and caring.

SSHG Pearl. 5/5

Very cute idiot Severus Snape.
Indeed, to win Hermione's heart Severus need only show her his library in Spinners End

very funny conversation

This was so cute! Very easy to follow, I didn’t even notice the chapters had dates until the 51st one .
