It was an interesting read. A good one. I enjoyed it.

Honestly that explanation for the ministry fight is kind of sus, too clean. I've always preferred the version where she actually just hit him with a stunner and the fact he fell through the literal veil of death after was a mistake/happy little accident. Canon Bella would have just rolled with it after maybe a microsecond of "whoops" but for fic Bella's it gives a chance for them to still commit the act but genuinely regret it.

Unless you're doing very early set up for some pensive clearing her name for this crime specifically arc I don't see the point of making it the way it is here, she's still done terrible things to many people, just not people directly shown in story (besides Hermione). Feels kind of like unearned whitewashing considering this is still a woman torturing someone in her basement, giving her a pass on Alice and Frank opens some genuine plot options later since that's what they nailed her for to stick her in Az, but this one doesn't have the same impact and makes it look like a trend of her getting a pass for all of the "big" moments she's known for in the books.

Still entertaining to read.

Not gonna lie, I really did enjoy reading this story. The momentum never dipped and I was always wanting to read more of it. In my honest opinion though, if I took a step back from the fictional writing and look at the big picture of this particular story, it sounds like a romanticized version of Stockholm’s syndrome.

Thank you for taking the time to write and having the courage to share your work. It really was a phenomenal read.

I devoured this story in two days. I cried and got angry and loved with them. You do write very well. This story does the most sense of the several I've read about this couple. Thank you for sharing this. It was a marvelous job.

I enjoyed everything... except pretty much the first half.
Everything from 16 on was nice, and the whole concept is cool, but... Hermione is suffering supposed daily torture, and from the excerpts we get, while it could be worse... it's still torture. Bellatrix is putting her in extruiating pain, degrading her nonstop, and violating her mind, it just doesn't make sense that despite that she's perfectly fine. No residual pains? No PTSD? People dont suffer daily torture like that without severe ramifications, ancient bond or not.
I can see what you were going for, but it reads like a severe case of stockholms being explained away by some random 'ancient bond'.

Thank you for this amazing story. Loved reading it till the end. ️

With the amount of physical and mental torture Hermione is going through, I really don't see how she can forgive Bellatrix and have any true romantic feelings towards her. Basically this has Stockholm Syndrome written all over it. Y'know the type, a tortured and broken individual starts to think the feel things towards their abuser, and then the author writes it as a consensual love story.

It's a pity there isn't a sequel... This got stuck at the best part!

Third time I read this. I love It!

Good afternoon,dear author!

With your permission, can I translate this fan fiction into Russian and publish it on a Ficbook,please?

Amazingly written. The story lime was great, still sad to see the deaths but overall happy that Narcissa approved of Hermione and Bellatrix and Andromeda came to an understanding of sorts.

Would have been great to prolong the ending to see if Hermione and Draco became friends, if Bellatrix and Hermione had babies and what happened in the Golden trios final year at hogwarts but nonetheless a fantastic take on HP. Well done.

but… the cruciatus curse can go through any shield sans physical ones

great otherwise though, I don’t usually enjoy this ship but it’s pretty well done

I love this, I love that you didn't make Hermione so whiny and patetic on this first chapter

To be quite honest, it was a good end. There could've been lots more still, with Bella meeting Mione's parents and stuff. More Public shit. Harry and Ginny someday coming to terms with Bella in Mione's life. The Last Hogwarts year. How they handle all that, some more interactions. But then again, I guess this is also a good place to stop.
I find that, once the relationship is somewhat stable, it is mostly alright to stop there unless you create new plot points. The Harry Potter universe in itself is not that big and there's always been "JUST" Tom.

Beautiful, perfect, Bella.
