I am a grateful fan of Ms. Rowling and of her overwhelming Byronic Character, Severus Snape! Please check out the first chapters of each fic (except for "How Can I Tell You," which is on Chapter 2) to see pictures of the Heroines.
Admins' Note: Livvy6 died suddenly on February 22, 2012, leaving behind her husband, six-year-old daughter, and seventeen stories well-loved by the TPP community. All who knew her—including those in Harry Potter fandom and all of us, here—are richer for having known her.
Requiescat in pace, Livvy. Always.

I think it is so cute that Hermione is jealous, and Severus is loving it.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Doesn't happen every day for Severus, does it? It's a real ego boost for him.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Poor Hermione she really is having a rough time, she needs to let herself go and just enjoy. I wonder where the low self esteem came from.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
It's hard for her. She has so much pressure on her for her age and having grown up with some attitudes and strange beliefs about sex can really make a mess of things. Yes, she does need to de-stress.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
The lingerie was a good idea, it should get things off to a good start.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Sometimes a little lingerie is needed to get a girl in the mood! :)Thanks for reviewing!
Delicious lemons.......
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Glad you liked it!Thanks,Livvy
wonderful chapter, this fic is so good I hate to take the time to review, I just want to rush on to the next chapter.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
I'm glad that you take the time to review. It means a lot!Thanks!Livvy
Hermione's innocence, is a very endearing quality. I love how sweet and gentile Severus is with her.Another wonderful chapter
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Thank you. I wanted a bit of reality to their sexual relationship. Most of the time, things don't go so smoothly at start.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Oh no he didn't. He'll be hexed for sure. They should track down Rita Skeeter and hex her too.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Oh, yes. Rita will face the wrath of Hermione Snape!Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
I can not even begin to imagine the horror of loosing almost everyone you know. It will be interesting to see how they move forward.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Hanging on to each other and focusing on rebuilding Hogwarts will help them a great deal. Together, they will have a purpose.Thanks!Livvy
So much to do to get things back they way they should be, but things will never be the same.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
No, they won't. But that is how life goes. A new normal will have to be accepted, as well as new people that will come into their lives.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
It looks like they are ready to let the healing begin. They have a connection that can never be broken, and they will certainly need to lean on each other now.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Yes, they are now only begining to realize how much they will need each other.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Oh my goodness how will the wizarding world ever survive all this loss.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Very slowly and with a lot of determination on Severus and Hermione's part.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Wonderful story!
Aaaw, that was lovely! I especially like the ending- leaving it at the beginning, so to speak. You picked on your characters, but imbued them with enough strength to get through. And with all the talk of years to come, I can hardly keep from envisioning Severus and Hermione, grey-haired guardians of Hogwarts' students into the distant future.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Thanks! I'm glad you liked how I chose to end the fic. That is precisely how I see them. Severus and Hermione will one day stand in the ranks of the Founders.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Hooray! Maybe half-asleep orgasms will help her get over her fear of ejaculating. Can drowsiness do what no amount of talking could achieve? Most people would use alcohol to overcome inhibitions, but really, I like this method much better. Very sexy!
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Yes, of course Severus is nothing if not very sexy! rowr!Thanks,Livvy
I feel the urge here to say that modern sex researchers and educators generally agree that there's no difference between 'clitoral' and 'vaginal' orgasms. While the lemons are hot, do be careful of carrying Freudian myths.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Really? I didn't know that. For me they are completely differnt feelings. What is the Freudian myth? Does it have to do with the two types of orgasms?Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Response from liviconnor (Reviewer)
Really? Not to get all TMI, but I don't really notice a difference in feeling. But then, I don't think I have sufficient evidence to make a conclusion...Freud, I believe, was the person who put forward and popularized the idea of clitoral and vaginal orgasms as different things. But after some rather risque studies, some group (I forgot who, but it was reputable) decided that an orgasm is an orgasm is an orgasm, and though some lucky people can have orgasms purely from vaginal stimulation (3% of the female population? I'd have to check), most of us need clitoral stimulation as well. The biggest issue was how the vaginal orgasm was considered better than clitoral, and as such 97% of the population (again, I have to check that stat, but I'm fairly sure) thought they were having the wrong kind of orgasm, if they were having any at all! An orgasm is a terrible thing to waste, or not have. In the end, they decided that an orgasm, no matter how it's induced, is all muscle contractions and chemicals in the blood, and though some people feel them in different ways,they're all more or less the same, and certainly all equal.Sorry I don't have better documentation or footnotes!Delighted to be discussing orgasms,Liv
Oh my god. This is so tragic, it's hard to read even though I know it's fiction. It's gut-wrenching! But, as a side note, you need a second beta. While I'm sure MadBrilliant does a fine job, you still have some errors coming through. (for example: internment is locking someone up, interment is burial)
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Yes, this was my first transition into a new level of writing. MadBriiliant is a great Beta, but I fear there were to many errors for her to catch. I am working with WriterMerrin now and she is wonderful.Thanks!Livvy
Aeeei! (That would be the fangirl squeal)This has been a fantastic story. You just about made me cry in the beginning (almost!), and though the painfully awkward sex scenes were cringeworthy, that was sort of the idea, wasn't it?I've been glued to my computer for a good chunk of time now, so I'm /almost/ glad it's over... but I'm still so anxious to see how else it goes! Parting is such sweet sorrow, m'dear. This story most definitely rates an 'O.'
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Thank you. I wanted to keep it open-ended so if I wanted to do a sequel, I could in the future.Livvy
