Welcome to my world of (largely) erotic exploration of the human condition. (Well, that's one way of putting it anyway ...)
My writing is largely rated NC-17 and, as you will see, contains a lot of explicit detail. But I cannot write without developing believable characters, largely in canon (at least as a starting point), whose behaviour is established through dialogue and tangible situations. I adore these characters and tend to write from the inside out, getting inside their heads and simply letting them talk (and act ...). Yes, there is a lot of sex, but I hope my characters' sexuality enables them, and us, to discover deeper aspects of their personalities.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO FRIEND ME ON LJ WHERE MY USERNAME IS LAURIELOVER1912. YOU CAN ALSO FIND ME ON FACEBOOK (LAURIELOVE).
My favourite pairings are Hermione/Lucius and Hermione/Severus, but I have written for various other couples and situations.
I have recently started writing original works which have, fortunately, been picked up by publishers. If you are interested in my original work, my penname is Demelza Hart.
I love establishing a dialogue with my readers. Please feel free to contact me with comments, suggestions, criticism, anything. I look forward to hearing from you!
In the meantime ... enjoy!

Reviews for Out of the Depths
I love the ending to this chapter, very sweet.
Response from laurielove (Author of Out of the Depths)
Thank you very much. x
Aw! He needs lots of hugs! That must have been tremendously hard.
Response from laurielove (Author of Out of the Depths)
He does need lots of hugs. Any volunteers?! ;-) x
Thank you - that was exquisite. It made me happy to see Severus at last show a little of his true self in the classrom (not to say how excited I was to read about the v. hot action prior to that, lol!) As fun as it has been to peek at their various illicit activities around the castle, I can't complain about them deciding to leave and have a different life together. No doubt, it'll be equally exciting... and there'll be other opportunities for delicious games of control :-)
Response from laurielove (Author of Out of the Depths)
Thank you! This story will not extend beyond the end of Hermione's time at Hogwarts, however ... not at the moment, anyway. Still, a few more goodies to come! x
The apple charm was GENIUS!!!! I could see Severus falling apart emotionally when Hermione left. I feel he is thinking its all over.Livvy
Response from laurielove (Author of Out of the Depths)
He's not worried it's over, just genuinely sad that something that is so familiar to him, including her as his student, is ending. He is still worried about the unknown. x
aw, i love snape's character development =) you've shown it so well! things have been going so smoothly.. tbh, i'm worried about this upcoming ball.. =P
Response from laurielove (Author of Out of the Depths)
Thank you so much. Ball next. Start of the ball, anyway. x
This was a great chapter, but the only thing I will point out is that you have an extensive amount explicit content in every chapter, and seeing that we are in number twenty-nine ... well, you do the math. Anyhow, it never gets stale. Somehow, every time they are together is something new, even if you are revisiting an old concept such as the back of the classroom tryst. I don't know how you do it, but keep it up.Ok, I said one thing, but I would be remiss if I didn't mention how wonderful the last Potions class scene was. I don't know what else to say about it, it was just ... nice.Looking forward to the ball, and good to see that Severus seems to have calmed a bit in the jealousy department. Wonder if it will last?
Response from laurielove (Author of Out of the Depths)
I know - lots of sex. More in the next chapter too, of the intense variety. Other stuff too though. x
All that naughtiness at the back of class... probably just as well they are finishing up! :)
Response from laurielove (Author of Out of the Depths)
Indeed! x
Another beautifully written (not to mention HAWT!) chapter. This is such a joy to read. Eloquent, erotic, full of emotion. I felt myself tearing up at the end of the 'Potions Lesson'. I know that all good things must come to an end, and so it is with this story, but I hope you will continue to write fantastic stories for your fans like me. I look forward to each chapter and I'm glad you've not made it so 'angsty' that we just want them to 'hurry up and get on with it! I think the attitude in this story is wonderful and you can feel that their relationship has evolved organically and lovingly. Not to mention you write darn good lemons!
Response from laurielove (Author of Out of the Depths)
Thank you so much for your lovely review. I am sorry for the delay in responding and posting - have just been so busy. More imminently. x
Thats was a powerful chapter. I enjoyed the second half very much. I love it when they talk and real share more than the sex.Looking forward to more.
Response from laurielove (Author of Out of the Depths)

Thank you. Bit of both in the next chapter which will appear any moment now. x
I know one word reviews aren't the most helpful or constructive, but there really is only one word that came to mind after finishing the chapter:Perfection.I'm so in love with this story, and with them. I don't know why I've not reviewed before <3 xxx
Response from laurielove (Author of Out of the Depths)
You are a star. Thank you so much. Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I'm about to post the next chapter. x
Response from Mrs_D_Radcliffe (Reviewer)
You don't have to thank me, you're the one that's writing such brilliance! No apology necessary either! I look forward to the next chapter... an early Christmas present! xxx
Awww... that was so wonderful and tender and sweet. And very rare. Perfect!
Response from laurielove (Author of Out of the Depths)
Thank you once again for all your lovely, heart-warming words. x
Beautiful. The apology on his knees, their conversation, and of course the sex, too. It was perfect for her to take control this time :-)
Response from laurielove (Author of Out of the Depths)
Absolutely. I liked it when he sank to his knees too. He needed to. x
Oh dear. It seems someone is ashamed... and has every reason to be. Still delicious, of course!
Response from laurielove (Author of Out of the Depths)
Yes, he got a bit confused. We'll forgive him. x
*happy sigh* Still loving this, the frantic couplings just as much as the gentler moments, their discussions and the development of their relationship. Am so happy there are still many chapters to come :-)
Response from laurielove (Author of Out of the Depths)
Lots and lots!! x
Tut, tut, Severus! If that's what you call discreet... well.. yeah. Adored this, naturally and can't wait for the games to come. I'm running out of words here, but I guess you may know by now how much I love this story?
Response from laurielove (Author of Out of the Depths)
You are entitled to run out of words - you have been too kind in reviewing so much.And a little indiscretion can be very ... scintillating! x
Okay, it's official. You're my favourite erotica writer :-D That awakening scene was fantastic. Simply fantastic.
Response from laurielove (Author of Out of the Depths)
You are an absolute sweetheart. Bless you.Plenty more where that came from - but then, you know that!! ;-)x
This was sweet and lovely and very erotic. One thing I'm especially enjoying with this story that I haven't mentioned yet is Hermione's role. I'm used to seeing her as the inexperienced, nearly virginal party, and now and then as a mature woman sure of her needs and wants. Her appearance here, as a young girl but with experience of the world beyond her years, is refreshing and works very well with Severus. He's the inexperienced one, emotionally, and that makes it very credible when she takes the lead in their relationships. And yet, it is very evident that he is an experienced man, a skilful lover. Perfect!
Response from laurielove (Author of Out of the Depths)
Yes, she needs to take the lead - it is refreshing to him. He is experienced- one of the perks of working for Voldemort, but this is probably the first time he has had a relationship with anyone with a deep emotional connection. x
'Teach me.' OMG! Of all the sexy things he could possibly say! That is so hot to me, and though I'm loving all the delicious smuttiness of the previous chapter, and this one, and future ones, it is in the details you excel in the way that makes this story unique. That man's voice *fans self* :-D
Response from laurielove (Author of Out of the Depths)
SO glad you appreciate that line. I am so proud of it. I think it is the favourite line I've ever written. It just works so well in this context, and for him with that voice.This is a story of a student/teacher relationship - but who is the student and who is the teacher?I used this line on an icon on LJ. I like that too!;-)xxx
Emotional pull indeed! I really thought he'd let her leave - proving his claim to have no soul - but I'm surely not complaining that he didn't! Hey, Hermione, don't cry, you have him hooked now, lol! (Though it's still not going to be easy, is it?)
Response from laurielove (Author of Out of the Depths)
I think she was just totally overwhelmed. It had been brewing and brewing but she wasn't quite expecting that after pouring her heart out to him. x
I'm enjoying this immensely :-) Love the subtlety of this, the little details, nothing overt, just a gaze here, a word unspoken there, a voice... and ooh what a delicious, tiny touch! This reminds me of being 18 and hopelessly, secretly in love with someone and just dying whenever he passed by! Very romantic, and very hot. Where SS is involved, less is definitely more!
Response from laurielove (Author of Out of the Depths)
I'm very fond of that finger touching moment. Thanks for your review - I know you have left a lot. That means a lot to me. x
Ginny is seeing Severus in a whole new light! :)
Response from laurielove (Author of Out of the Depths)
Yes, she certainly is. It only takes a little eye-opening moment - she has come to her senses!!! ;-) x
