Really interesting story! Different from most marriage laws in that the object wasn’t immediately requiring children. I like how their relationship slowly developed and the ending. You did a great job in the storytelling. Kudos!

I really like Lance!

hot damn

Cudowne:)

I only came across this fanfiction in this year of 2023, and I could not be more grateful for having done so. This is a beautiful and anguish-filled, dramatic and to be honest - realistic fanfiction. This is the post-war / marriage law fanfiction I was searching for. I have never found one where they aren't imposed, where Hermione isn't always in tears, where Severus isn't always out of character, and where the marriage law didn't throw them immediately at one another with a tension that was unreal. Also, I love the fact that in the end you did not include children, even though they said they would try. The eroticism of the sex scenes was beautifully written, and not just given to the readers to get their motor running. They were thoughtful, meaningful, and sporadic enough so one would actually focus on the plot. The dialogues were beautifully written, and you did not make us hate anyone , you have showed us with tremendous skill that they are quite human in the end, and every person has a side that they do not show to anybody. Even that thrice-cursed bloke called Theo. Thank you for giving us this beautifully written story, and thank you for reposting it, letting it linger over the internet for a few decades. What a magical couple of days I've had over here ️

i csnt see the last chapter... why

But don't you understand, Hermione, that with you, the rulebook that has governed my life for so long goes out the window?"

She looked at him wide-eyed, confused. "What do you mean?"

"With you, Hermione, I want it all: the whole package."

Agghgghhhh this is so good and I’m obsessed and I only have one chapter left and that’s so sad!

Cordelia looked at him and laughed. "Go on, Severus, you can say it: As is Hermione.

LOVE this story!

He dropped his voice to a whisper. "If you should come across Luna on your travels, tell her … Tell her I had no choice," he finished, looking troubled.

Awe poor Neville. Love Sevs obsession with her backless dress

Wow what a journey. Unlike any other fanfic I’ve read before. Thank you for getting me through so many middle of the night feedings.

Tchaikovsky and Mozart are favorites of mine as well. Next to Vivaldi.

Having just given birth 3 weeks ago, the Pansy parts are really hitting home!

I am reading this story while I regularly breastfeed my newborn. And he is little James as well!

omg this is the best sshg fanfic i've ever read

This was such an incredible story! (Sobs happy tears) Theo being Severus' step son made it different from other marriage law fics, good plot twist! Very well written. When you publish a book I would be happy to buy it! Loved it.
