Wow I love this fic. I have no doubt that you will finish it. Keep up the great work and give us a peek at your current endeavor.

I have never reviewed a story before, but I have to tell you how much I'm enjoying this story (as well as all of your previous stories).  I read each chapter twice when it appears.  It's sexy (of course), but also the character development is great.  I can't wait to see where it all ends up!

I know this story will be worth waiting for!  I'm sure your exchange story will be delectable too!  Thank you.

Hurry back, dear Author.

NOOOOOOOO ~writhes on floor in pain~ however will I survive without this story??? Well, I suppose if your winter challenge one is half as good it MIGHT get me through...

This is a beautiful story... I'm disappionted that you're taking a break from it but I'll take your word for it that you're going to finish and I look forward to the next installment.. whenever that may be! xx

Take all the time you need.  Thanks for the heads up!  I'll read anything you write  (and vouch for you, too :-)

Oh, my. I think that was the most touching of all these chapters. I have to say that it was quite a fluffy story at first, but it has most certaintly developed a lot, and they were all good developments.

I shall wait patiently for the next chapter to come out, though I do wish it would be soon. But I'll still wait, since it would kill me not to finish a story. In that, I'm the same as you, because I hate not finishing reading stories, and you hate not finishing writing them (though I am that way about writing stories, also, though I have not posted any stories online yet. I just don't like all the work it takes for me to deem in good enough for other poeple to see it, though I really am working on a story, which eventually I will submit. 

Anyway, I look forward to reading the next chapter. I hope Severus ends up happy; he totally deserves it.

It's just getting better and better! I love the way they're both starting to show the existence of feelings beyond just desire. I'm also really glad to see Harry being so mature and reasonable about things.

Now I'm sad to read you are taking a break on this story.  Its a very big favorite.

But I will wait patiently.  Drop me a line about your other obligation.

I will definetly be waiting and looking for the next installment.  Good luck with your other story and hurry back. This is one of the best!thank you,

*sigh* Okay. I'll just read chapters one through twelve again... and again. I have read so much fan fiction over the years and I have never wanted to comment before. This story is the most remarkable blend of romance and rutting. Sweet and sad, without being hopeless. There aren't many people that can write this well that aren't already published. I will be quite happy to see a new chapter when it appears.

Excellent chapter. cracked me up the way Sev keeps dismissing his feelings towards Hermione as almost jsut commom curtosy between them. Wondering if Hermione's love grows as part of the curse - like it seemed Bellatrix's may have - or just because. And very leery of Sev's dimissal of being betrothed.Sad you have to take a break from writing it but I look forward to when you come back to reclaim this story.

Es ist so sehr romantisch! That was my first thought, but on reflection, there's so much more going on!

 The lovely romantic elements of this chapter mixed perfectly with the realistic feelings Severus has.  He knows he wants more but he's convinced himself that this is as good as it ever gets.

  Definitely wonderful Severus characterization (loved his dance-strategy!), by far my favorite chapter. 

I don't know what to say. I am devastated that this story is going on hiatus. I am just bummed, bummed, bummed. There are so many things I like about this story. I will write you a more encouraging review when I get over my complete and utter horror that I will have to wait for more.Arrghhh!

hiatus??? *gasp* I don't know how I'll survive. But...I'll muddle through somehow.

Excellent chapter, as always. *sniff, sniff* 

You're forgiven.  I know what it's like having other obligations step in the way.  I really loved this chapter, though.  Hermione has hinted to Severus that her feelings run deeper. I'm also shocked at Harry and Ron's behavior. Not so much Harry's, since he didn't overreact. But I knew Ron was an ass, but this chapter really brought that out.  It looks like things are looking up for the moment. I look forward to reading more of this story once you come back from your hiatus.

I love the turn this story is taking, and am more than happy to see it come to a proper conclusion. 

Amazing as always!  At least you left us a nice long chapter to tide us over until you can continue again.

What's with the whole betrothal thing? huh? Very fishy. I can't wait to find out!  I'll cast my vote now - I'm hoping for a SS/HG wedding at the end of this. 

I will patiently (okay, maybe not so patiently) await the next installment.  Have fun with your other story!

I feel .......  wistful I guess is the word for it.  So beautiful, but so sad.  I just want to become some omniscient being and open their eyes to what we all see.  *Sigh*  I guess I'll have to just dream it all.  That is, until you get back to this lovely yet heart-tugging place.  I'll be patient. Well, I'll TRY to be patient. At least you've left us with lots to think on in the meantime.  and then to know that we'll have ANOTHER story from you.... can't be upset by that at all. heheBest wishes on all your writings.

Well, I suppose I can live with that so that your giftee for the exchange isn't left hanging!  I've really been enjoying this story and eagery look forward to its continuation in the future.

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Well, if you have to switch gears for awhile at least you didn't leave us hanging.  Good luck!
