I love writing and reading. I work from home, which gives me the temptation to read or write fanfic instead of work! I have lived in both the US and UK. I currently live in the US, with my husband and three beautiful girls (all of whom wish to attend Hogwarts when they're of age! LOL).
Reviews for What Dreams May Come
I'm getting dizzy from all this plot spinning 
I am eagerly awaiting finding out what's really going on. I think Sev will be heart broken to find this all a dream and be laying in St. Mungo's waking from a coma. You're really making me feel sorry for these characters. Poor Hermione is having her heart smashed to bits and (1) I don't even know if she's real and (2) Whether she's real or not, the situation is a figment of her imagination for the most part. Oh, this is so confusing (but in a very compelling way of course!)I can't wait for the next installment!!!!Hugs, Muggle Mom
Response from rhiannon113 (Author of What Dreams May Come)
MuggleMom, I'm sorry to put you through so much!! I am going to do a bit more dirty work before there is a resolution. Please just bear with me, I think in the end, you'll be pleased. As to whether or not this is real, I don't know myself. But I do know that he's going to get a chance to change to make things better, in one way or another. Thanks so much for reading and for your thoughtful review! I hope you'll continue to bear with me. *hugs*Rhiannon
Oh no, this is not good. This is actually very very bad. I've had to deal with situations like this and it's just very uncomfortable. And now that Hermione didn't hear the whole conversation its just even worse. This is just going to blow up and I feel so bad for Severus! He finally has a nice happy loving life and it's all about to go to hell. Argh! Anyways, I'm hoping everything works out for him anyways. Please update soon. Much Love ~ Brena
Response from rhiannon113 (Author of What Dreams May Come)
Brena, Yes, it is going to go very badly. But eventually, he'll work somethings out and be better off in the end. I have also seen situations like this one as well, it never goes well. I hope you'll be patient with me as I torture him a bit, but I promise you I'll make it up to him by the end. =] *hugs*Rhiannon
This web is becoming more tangled by the minute...I know you can't reveal too much, but I DO feel VERY sorry for the Severus that normally "belongs" in this reality, if he found himself bleeding on the floor of the shrieking shack, and was nursed back to health only to realize he was a Death Eater and a murderer! Ye gads! I really, really hope that's not the case.Oh, please let him have _some_ happiness in this world, while he can. Poor Severus (or poor both of them!)
Response from rhiannon113 (Author of What Dreams May Come)
I am glad you're getting wrapped up in the story!! That makes me feel good. I will tell you that the way I've imagined it, there is no "other Severus" that is in pain in the canon universe. So don't fret about him. =] There is only one Severus, and right now he's getting to see another route things might have taken. I hope that doesn't spoil things for you!!! There is a lot more to come, some details that I hope you'll really enjoy! Thanks for reading and reviewing, you are too kind! *hugs*Rhiannon
This is a change!Livvy
Response from rhiannon113 (Author of What Dreams May Come)
I've never done AU, so I thought I'd have a go. =] Glad you're enjoying so far!!! *hugs*Rhiannon
Very good! I'm intrigued :)Livvy
Response from rhiannon113 (Author of What Dreams May Come)
Thanks so much, Livvy!! *hugs*Rhiannon
Oh, this is not good. I can see how what she heard, combined with his actions in the beginning of the story, the uncertainty, will cause problems.
Response from rhiannon113 (Author of What Dreams May Come)
Sadly, things are going to get rather complicated. I'm glad you're following my litte 'trail of breadcrumbs'. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! I hope you'll continue to read. *hugs* Rhiannon
Is this a near death experience? I wish Hermione had confronted Lily and Severus instead of backing off. She should have jumped into them with both feet. Oh well, we'll see what happens.
Response from rhiannon113 (Author of What Dreams May Come)
Her reactioin is bassed on that of a friend of mine who was presented with a very similar problem. It does seem like a strong, self-posesssed person would step in and confront the problem, but oddly enough - my friend did not. It's just hard know what one would do until they're put in that situation. Hermione will take the situation in hand eventually, fear not. Thank you so much for reading and for the review. It always helps to be forced to think of things from someone else's perspective. =] I hope you continue to read, and enjoy it! *hugs*Rhiannon
Response from FlittterKat (Reviewer)
It's true, we never know how we will react in a stressful situation. Some of my gut level reactions have surprised me after the fact. Never fear, I'm hooked and looking forward to your next chapter.
Darn, and he was being so wonderful too. It was so nice to see him being true to Hermione. I kept yelling "Yay, you tell her, Severus!" in my head. But it seems that things will not be pushed under the rug and forgotten. I'm a bit scared to see what that conversation will reap. One question, if you can answer it. Will he ever go back to his reality? And he should tell Hermione what's up! She'd understand.
Response from rhiannon113 (Author of What Dreams May Come)
My Dear Deb, I wanted to show that he would be true to her no matter what, and that he's accepted this new reality. Keep in mind, Hermione did not hear or see all of the exchange. She only has a bit of the story. Yes, it will be important later. Excellent question, and sadly one that I cannot answer. So sorry!!! Thanks as always for reading and for reviewing. I'm such a fan of yours, I'm honoured that you are enjoying my work! *hugs*Rhiannon
Great chapter. The Ron and Draco thing was a touch of a shock considering their canon characters and how they treat each other, but I love this new world that you are creating. Of course there has to be the misunderstanding for drama to begin. Again, great chapter. I can't wait to find out what happens next ^^
Response from rhiannon113 (Author of What Dreams May Come)
The Ron/Draco thing came from an extremely late night working on the details of the 'new world'. It just seemed ironic, and a good way for two of my other favourites to make an appearance. I'm glad you're still reading, and enjoying. Thanks so much for reviewing!!! *hugs* Rhiannon
Oh, snap... this is NOT good!Livvy
Response from rhiannon113 (Author of What Dreams May Come)
It is not good. But that's what makes the plot spin!!! Thanks for leaving me the reviews!!! I'm totally honoured that you are reading my story!!!!!! *hugs*Rhiannon
Ummm, I might be just as confused as Sev! No, not really. Terrific story, I'm looking forward to reading more, especially how the Potters are still alive.
Response from rhiannon113 (Author of What Dreams May Come)
I'm really glald you're enjoying it so far. It's meant to be confusing for a while. Things will become more clear as we go. Yes, I had my fun with saving Lily and James! I will definitely mention that, so you'll know what happened. =] Thanks so much for reading and for the lovely review! *hugs*Rhiannon
This is a really nifty idea for a story. I really enjoyed these first two chapters. Keep up the good work ^^
Response from rhiannon113 (Author of What Dreams May Come)
Thank you! I'm having a great time writing it. I hope you continue to read and enjoy! Thanks so much for raeding and reviewing, I appreciate it very much! *hugs*Rhiannon
Hey there! I was so happy to see Chpater 2 today! I'm still so very interested in whats happening in this fic and wondering where its going. I've got so many questions after only two chapters and I'm trying to hold myself back from bombarding you with them! I really hope I can just sit back and enjoy the ride. But with such a wonderful concept unfolding before my eyes its totally hard to keep my mouth shut. Anyways! Thanks for updating so quickly and I can't wait to see what happens next! Much Love! ~Brena
Response from rhiannon113 (Author of What Dreams May Come)
Brena: That's so kind of you to say! I am setting up an awful lot of questions, they will be answered eventually! =] I can't promise to answer, but if you have questions I'd kind of like to see them - just in case it's something that's not a secret! =] Thanks so much for the note and very kind review. I really hope you'll continue to enjoy reading. My beta is finishing the next chapter, so hopefully it'll be up sometime later this week. *hugs*Rhiannon
intriguing--I can't say I expected to see that twist, but I'm interested to see where it leads.

Response from rhiannon113 (Author of What Dreams May Come)
I'm so pleased that you like it. Of course, nothing can stay perfect forever, but it's still better than the state he was in! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing. I means so much to me! *hugs*Rhiannon
Wow, what weird Alternate Reality IS this??? My brain is dying trying to think up answers... do tell us!
Response from rhiannon113 (Author of What Dreams May Come)
I'm so glad I've caught your interest. It will be a little while before everything becomes clear. Please keep reading while you wait!! Thanks so much for the review. *hugs*Rhiannon

Response from rhiannon113 (Author of What Dreams May Come)
I'm so glad that you are enjoying it so far. =] I hope you'll continue to enjoy it!! Thanks so much for the review and for reading. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it! *hugs*Rhiannon
Ahem - I suppose you're going to give some kind of explanation for all this at some point?
Response from rhiannon113 (Author of What Dreams May Come)
Yes, it will become clear. Please, please be patient with me while I spin a bit more plot... I'm so sorry to keep you hanging! The 'how and why' is something I've planned for the end. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing. I hope you stick with me, and I'll do my best to make it worth your while. *hugs*Rhiannon
It seems he's gone to heaven, eh? I'd love to think that somewhere, there's a universe where Snape really lives, and loves, and is happy.
Response from rhiannon113 (Author of What Dreams May Come)
I think we can make our own heaven or hell from our choices and perceptioins. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! I hope you'll continue to enjoy it. *hugs*Rhiannon
Squee it's up!! Am working on the 3rd chapter. Will email you today after work. Excellent job, dear, as always! *hugs*
Response from rhiannon113 (Author of What Dreams May Come)
Thanks (in no small part) to your amazing help! *hugs*Rhiannon
Ok---parallel universe, then---just like when Kirk, Spock, and Uhura got exchanged for their counterparts aboard 'another' Enterprise? But...that would be TOO CRUEL to whomever the 'sweet' Severus is, who would find himself rudely yanked from his wife's arms, exchanged with 'our' Severus, and dying alone on the dirty floor of the Shrieking Shack---no, far too cruel! So...hmmmm.........Can't wait to hear the "history" behind all this---more, soon please!
Response from rhiannon113 (Author of What Dreams May Come)
I've got a bit more plot to get through before his exact predicament becomes clear. I hope you'll stick with me! Thanks so much for the reading and especially for reviewing. *hugs*RhiannonPS: I didn't even have to question what you meant about the Enterprise. LOL =]
This is great. I'm ready to read more.
Response from rhiannon113 (Author of What Dreams May Come)
I'm so glad that you're enjoying it! Chapter 3 should be up soon. thanks for reading and reviewing. *hugs*Rhiannon
Wow, I didn't see THIS coming! How about if we make this canon and the JKR version as AU?
Response from rhiannon113 (Author of What Dreams May Come)
I'm not sure what the official amendment process would entail... thanks so much for the review and for continuing to read. Hopefully chapter 3 will be up soon! *hugs*Rhiannon
