Well, it is well-written, but tbh I can’t really read rape scenes… though it’s kinda covered up, still you should’ve warned

There are simply not enough words available to me to adequately express how much I loved this story. And so original, even for a story written before the end of the series. It is a real novelty to feel so apathetic about Voldemort’s conquering of the world and to care so little about any resolution for the war effort. Life truly does go on. Bravo!

i wish you would reconsider writing a sequel. One of the absolute best SSHG fics I have read

Beautifully done!

Wow this story isbincredible. I feel like I’ve read it before maybe I did years ago lol it’s like ahhhh hermione don’t you see Severus is in love with you like way in the beginning lol and it’s sad that they have to live in that world and I wish it would show what happens next. And it’s also sad but realistic their life and the horrors they went through have changed them. I wish they had more of their relationship like when they were student and Professor but they built up to it towards the end so that is nice. They’ve both been affected and of course change he sounds so cute all inept and doesn’t know because he had such a hard life so I’m glad that they have love for each other well mutually and I love little twist at the end. Still would love a sequel after all these years lol and what could happen if things did flip and like Harry destroys Voldemort and how that affects everyone but it would be a happy story like Severus is pardoned etc anyway great story and so happy I read thanks

That was some fierce love. I am glad they have each other

Thank you for writing this story. I wish you well.

SPOILERS IN REVIEW: I am so glad I stumbled across this fic. I actually discovered it after you were one of the few favorites of another favorite author of mine (scumblackentropy, plug plug for her). It was refreshing to read a fic written before we learned Snape was a half-blood and before we learned of his devotion to Lily. It brings me back to the days when all of us fic writers had so much fun coming up with ideas on his background. Yours were interesting, and I really enjoyed Loki. I admit I was hoping for some good smut, haha, but even without, you still managed to capture the slow build of love from Snape. By Chapter 9 or so, I realized where you were going with the connection between the flashbacks, and there's definitely something so scintillating about Snape essentially throwing the whole war effort for Hermione. The epilogue was particularly heartbreaking, especially as a mom. Her dream, her failure to leave because of Anna, etc. All gripped me! My one comment is, if you're still around or ever read these reviews, that I think you accidentally wrote 'Anna' as 'Julia' in one portion. For a few minutes I was unsure if there was also a second child, or if you had actually just typed the wrong name. It's unclear either way. But overall, what a story! Definitely one of the 'kept me up too long at night and made me exhausted at work the next day' type of fics! I wish I could find where else you've written!

Very enjoyable. Excellent reveal in the end.

I- how- what-

How can you leave us with just this one masterpiece? How are we supposed to deal with this ache?

Always nice to see a work of NobleDark. It figures that Albus's folly would be a misjudgment of character. We saw that time and again in cannon, and I have to admit you expertly strung things along, pacing out the information so that we could start in the middle, see the lead up to where things started, and then see the end.

I imagine that, in the fullness of time, Voldemort meets his demise. 'The Light' doesn't trust the Snape family. Too selfish, too hard to read and understand. Oh, they'll admit that the first concern of the family is the family. But they just don't trust them not to turn coat to preserve that family at other's expense.

Which ultimately suits them fine. Other's opinions are generally signs of their ignorance, and they have the family so they are not alone.

i would have held him as my own.

come finisce

Nice. Very good!

I have read this story several times over the years and still love it! :) 3
