Beautiful? Have I said that before? The ring reminds me of Alexandrite...
Ah! Thank you for the description of Beyond the Silver Rainbow.
And thank you for this story, it's wonderful. Especially how you knocked my head out of the fluffy clouds with McGonagall's opinion-so often I'm caught up in the fantastic hopes for the future that...I completely ignore realiity. Thank you for providing both ways of looking at it.

Ok. I love this. One of the first? Even better.

I just want to say that I have re-read this story, after almost three years. I loved it then, and I love it now, though my present preferred pairing is more age-appropriate: Draco/Hermione. This story, more than anything, shaped my feelings for Snape, and Slytherins in general. What a treat to re-read it today!
I might cry! Well in my mind Mc Gonagall is wrong!
*crys* I can totally see how this sailed Sev/Hermione out of the harbour. It was beautiful. I think its funny how Ron was reading it aloud, and that all people in the hall could hear it.You mixed humour in with sincerity and love at every turn, and really brought Severus and Hermione to life through the letter. Originally, all cliches are considered good or different or funny, and I can see completely why so many people adopted your ideas. I think I have to read it again, to get the full impact. You have and had a gift to make everything seem genuine and alive. Congradulations, 7 years after completion, for a wonderful fic that will live on through the ages.
This is undoubtedly one of the best written stories I have ever read. I love your style. You're obviously incredibly well-read and it shows in your writing. I did not think there were any Harry Potter fan fics out there this good. Thank you! Oh, and textualsphinx - love it. You have hit the proverbial nail on the head in describing your own writing.
That letter was beautiful, I wouldn't be surprised if Snape was real and you'd stolen it; it seemed so genuine.
Your story had me laughing out loud, it was so funny! I love it and I wish that Beyond the Silver Rainbow was still on the net so that I could read it. But your story was AWESOME!!!!!
A marvelous, magnificent and simply breathtaking story. The best SS/HG fic i've ever read!!
eighteen months! You're heartless.
I am very impressed by this fanfic. It is no wonder it has survived for as long a time as it has. Thank you very much for posting it here.
still fabulous, and yet...kind of depressing. you're right--we read romance so we believe that the characters will be in love forever. It's wierd to think that the author herself? doesn't think the pairing plausible. readers need to believe in someone.
thanks for summarizing the other story. sad ending. oh well.
ooh. wow.
magnificent, wonderfully long, perfectly detailed, story, and embarrassing enough (for hermione) to seem real. real life is embarrassing.
I wish book six wouldn't have closed off the possibility of events turning out this way; not HG/SS, but the final battle etc.
Fanscinating read, really enjoyed it. I love the way you put Snape across, it's not a way I've thought of him before, fabulous!

I read this at ff.net and still think it's one of the best SS/HG fics out there. Glad to see it here with a new chapter...!
It was interesting to read. I never really thought of snape that way. good job.
side note: That girl was 12 and she wrote all of that??! Woo. I wish i was so talented.
Very good writing. It felt great to read something so mature. You have depth in your writing.
Good Work and keep it up.
PS: When is the next one coming up?
