I really enjoyed this story, though I definitely prefer the alternative ending. You've made me go through too many tissues for me to be satisfied with this one. Other than that, this has to be one of my favorite Tomione stories.

Actually Tom makes an excellent point...Harry Potter is not very special, he was a scared teenager who was marked as his equal by Lord Voldemort himself following the prophecy.
Somehow I feel that Tom had really come to understand love...He could have had a future with Hermione.

Hermione has really spent this entire fic being miserable and mistreated by the people around her and not just her socially inept boyfriend...the only decent people have been Luna, Abraxas and young Minerva the rest of them all constantly make her feel bad I don't understand as Mrs. Weasley, being an adult, also gets angry with her. What irritating people. I understand that you are worried, but as far as you are, you don't scare, mistreat, and make someone who you suspect is in danger because of your relationship feel bad, but rather you stay close, attentive to the signs.
Otherwise the fic has been great, possibly reaching episode 32 I'll skip to the alternative ending since I think Tom deserves a second chance at life...You know? I think in the end he doesn't have to be with Hermione if it turns out that their relationship can't reach a healthy balance but Tom simply never had the chance to try to be someone normal.

Honestly I only like the Slytherins and Minerva I can't trust any of the Gryffindors they are only nice when Hermione behaves as they expect or when she seems to be in danger.

I'm impressed that you wrote this as a teenager...this fic is a painfully realistic story about what it would be like to fall in love with a sociopath and try to help them because even if they try they will hurt you. I'm not saying that they can't heal but they need to want to heal, they can have a support network, therapy and something more than a girlfriend but without a doubt Abraxas is right that loving Tom is one thing, depending on him is another.

I like the character of Abraxas, I feel that he helps both Tom and Hermione, he can be a good friend to both of them and he worries that she doesn't have more friends in turn...really, many of those in that place died As adults, why then they act like idiotic teenagers seeing everything in black and white?

I hate Godric, he is precisely the type of character I hate the most. Tom has bad things (many) but at least he doesn't think he's a good person, Godric is angry, cruel and irrational, he was never a good friend to Hermione, neither he nor Mina simply assumed things about her and never supported her when it mattered, the guy simply sucks. and he is detestable but sure inside he believes he is a great person.
The only really non-toxic people in this place are Abraxas, Miranda and RJ everything has conspired so that Hermione ends up alone with Tom and his friends as her only company because the rest are horribly incomprehensive and simply do not CONVERS WITH HER they only impose things on her saying that they are advice irrationally because young Dumbledore if he hates Tom and distrusts him it was for non-rational reasons since he cannot know anything else.

I'm honestly glad that Hermione shot some crucios at Tom now their relationship is more equal.

The whole idea of a school that functions as a limbo where students leave when they go "to the afterlife" reminds me of angel beats, an interesting anime although too short for my taste.
On the other hand, it seems likely to me that this was one of the secrets of Hogwarts...that it has a magical post-life version tied to it where those who have too strong ties to the world go.

Also, you last chapter rewrite shows the change in your perspective on the "happy ending" this story needed aplenty :)
from continuing parasitic/dependent relationship (I think you called it?) into a chapter dedicated to healing and moving on as her own person for hermione that also doesn't shy away from all the hurt and pain, a "hopeful ending".

Absolutely agree with the last comment left on here - "[...]because something is written in a story means it's right."

Wow, what a heart wrenching story. I appreciate the note that you left at the beginning but I don't think just because something is written in a story means it's right. You are absolutely correct that they did not have a healthy relationship and that it shouldn't be emulated but that doesn't mean you have to delete your story and I'm so glad you didn't. It was lovely and sad and gave me all the feels. The idea of that in-between world was so interesting. I wanted to know what tied everyone there and what made them leave. My head canon is that the founders were tied by their artifacts and that as they destroyed the horcruxes, their ties finally weakened. If that's the case, poor Godric is probably never leaving...

much better!

yet again weak simpering winey Hermione ugh I'm trying to hang in there for this story but the Hermione being weak minded is starting to get to me

why do ppl always seem to make Hermione a weak piece of shit? it's annoying
