Stepping into that room was either a blessing or a curse, probably both. Her heart ached with sorrow, yet was filled with joy, until all that was left was the bittersweet longing for the life unlived.

Yep, that's bittersweet all right.  Kind of reminds me of "The Time Traveler's Wife" at the end when she gets to see him again.  Too sad.

Oh, I wish you would continue this. It is a very interesting concept, I must say.

Response from DarkFate (Author of Bittersweet)

Thank you!Yes, I've had several requests to continue this, and in fact, I have started writing a sequel. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to look at it in quite some time. Maybe I'll get around to it. I really did like writing this one.Thanks for the awesome review! :)-DF

Terrific tension and a good climactic last line (although I can't say I didn't see it coming).

This is a really great set up for a longer story--you should definately make use of it!

Oh please, tell me there is more to came. It's terrific as a start but it doesn't work as well as a one-shot.

Errr..."Completed?" I really don't think so.  This is like a really good show that gets cancelled during hiatus and you are doomed never to know how everything is resolved.

In other words, I think you are truly evil. No, really, I do.

You shall be known as "that-person-who-must-not-be-named-because-she-left-us-hanging."  I wonder how long you can live with that!!

I really loved this and I do hope you consider easing our pain...pretty please?

oh please!  we need more than a one shot!  It was beautiful!

Oh my God!  This is brilliant.  I know you've posted this as a one-shot, but I must tell you that what you have written is so amazingly good that it begs for more to be written. 

Please don't take that as pressure to write more if you don't want to, but I couldn't just review and not tell you.  LOL!  It really is that good!

In light of the fact that Severus was the father of her son, I love the name she gave him.  Dante means obstinate, lasting, enduring – which perfectly describes Severus.  It is fitting that their child should be name Dante because in him his father will continue to live... and since Hermione chose not to marry anyone else, but to raise her child alone, her love for Severus has been everlasting.

Give yourself a pat on the back for a writing such a well told tale!  *claps and cheers*  I'd give this a thousand stars if I could.

Brilliant and sad - very well done!

How brilliant, and yet how evil of you to write such an interesting and twisty tale and then end it all on that single word-- "You."  My hat is off to you, even as I simultaneously grind my teeth in frustration that this is apparently a one-shot.  It's a flattering sort of grinding, though.  Really.

Loved how the child was named Dante--wonder whose idea that was?  The knee-jerk reaction is to think Severus, but if he died before his child was born I could see Hermione thinking of the Inferno as she grieved.

Beautiful story!

Aah!  What a way to finish it!  I mean, I saw it coming, what with the category and the genre and all, but I feel like there's so much more to say- I do love a good time twist story.  Brilliant!  And though I wish I knew what was on each of their faces, I rather think I can guess well enough on my own.  Good show.

Ooooh!  Signal cliffhanger!  Hope there's more on the way, and quickly. I'm so greedy, aren't I?  Good job so far!

I have a lump in my troath at the size of a football, making it hard to swallow you know, and it is all your fault... Beautifully written in all its sadness!

Excellend first chapter - but there's a little mistake you made: you marked it as "complete"...

MuseAmusant

After Severus has just been dealt one HELL of a shocker, there just has to be some serious fallout. This, my dear, is definitely not one-shot material. Reconsider? Pretty please?

10/10

faeriebell

How lovely. Very bittersweet. I do hope there is a continuation, the emotions are laid bare here and are deserve more attention! Well done, very well done.
