Thank you so much! This was the toughest thing I have ever written; but to me writing sex needs an emotional connection - I can't write a casual sex scene to save my life! ;)I think the reason they were so apprehensive was that I was. I am a very insecure person; in a triangle, I immediately see myself as the lowest point. It would be difficult for me to be in a three-way, even with two other men, and especially so if they were attracted to one another.

Thank you! I usually don't write slash stories but my editor and beta stgulik asked me to, so I thought I'd give it a try.

Thank you so much, Ali! I hope you get some relief soon! I love the idea of a Remus/Sev butty!! :)

NO worries! I always read for content! :)

Thank you!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Yes, occasionally my Muse asks me to push myself, and I'm always glad he does.

I am in love with your Muse right now....

Thank you so much! I'm not a huge fan of slash either, but stgulik asked so nicely, and she's so good to me....I'm glad you are enjoying the story!

Thank you!

:)

Thanks!

I think you are right - when you almost lose someone to illness, you realise you don't have room in your heart for jealousy or doubt. You just have to take each day and live it to the max.

Thank you so much, Beth! You are such an angel. We are exactly half way throught the story now, and a lot of things will happen in the next two chapters that will answer many questions. I hope you will continue to enjoy the story.

Thank you so much! I am thrilled that these chapters are touching you in this way. You always make me feel so wonderful, and to know that this has made you this happy is such a joy to me.This story is a prime example of the Muse at work. Sometimes when I read it, I barely remember writing these lines, because I truly was taking dictation at the time.I have a very loving and general Muse, who tends to pet and indulge me very much. I truly believe these stories of love and friendship are his little reminders of his love for me.

Thank you so much! We're halfway through the story now, so things will happen pretty quickly from here on out.

Thank you - I feel like these people should have a little happiness in their lives, after all they'd been through.

Thank you, sweetie! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I always love seeing your name in the reviews.

It would have been longer, but whenever I hit the space bar, it kept sending me back to the beginning of the paragraph.  :)  I wanted you to know that I can totally feel the affection of the friends and the love of the main characters.

{{{Hugs}}} Thank you sweetie! That's exactly what I was hoping for - that blanket feeling of care and love between all these people, like snow blanketing the world and shutting everything else out.When I first started putting my fics here, when I wold respond to a review and hit the enter key, it would do the same thing. I had to write my entire reply, then put the paragraph breaks in afterward. They seem to have fixed that bug, but now it sounds like they have another one.

Thank you sweetie! I like portraying Harry as a fairly stable guy...but I do have a short story in the works which...but I digress! ;)

Hang in there, sweetie - it's not all gloom and doom...

It's not the gloom and doom that worries me.  ;)

Thank you so much for your lovely comment. To be honest, I had been working on re-editing Her Minder for so long, that when I started Snow, I was unsure that I was even capable of writing anything any more. The story literally poured from my Muse to me in a matter of hours, and I was so afraid it wouldn't be any good. The lovely comments I've received for it have been such a confidence booster, because all the things I had so hoped to convey are the things that wonderful readers like you mention, and that is the most gratifying thing in the world to me. Thank you so much.

I think it can be very cathartic to just simply pour out the words and see what happens. There the times when, almost without realising it, we (collectively) find the true words we usually stumble around. The elephant in the room as it were. Cancer, the vile disease that corrupts in so many different manifestations.This is a really hard slog to read, but then I'm of the opinion that the voices that need to be heard most loudly, usually are the ones that stay long after the metaphorical ink is dry. I tend to think we all get so caught up in the nuances of what defines writing and our perceptions of those rules, that peeling away those restrictions often means we encounter something far more challenging and rewarding.

No, I promise that this will be posted regularly! I promised Jules I would update each Monday, and I promise you I will as well.This is a romance, and while that doesn't really tell you anything in and of itself, I will just say that I am not the type of person who likes to invest their heart for any length of time into a romance and not want to see it resolved happily. So you can take of that what you will ;)Jules asked me to write a story about love, and how it blankets everything regardless of the situation, just as snow blankets everything.Thank you as always for giving me the best comments.

Thank you so very much for your amazingly insightful comments. I think as the story goes along this symbiosis will become even more obvious through other events that will happen, and I hope you will continue to enjoy the story. I cannot thank you enough for your beautiful comment here.

Thank you so much. I admire your friend's courage. I think you have to push through denial and anger until you reach acceptance. It is the hardest journey we must take, and we have to take it alone. No one can walk that Lonesome Valley with us. When my father was dying, he cursed and cried and was so angry and bitter. Then one day he just accepted, and he was so peaceful when he passed - literally with a smile on his face.You don't have to go gently into that dark night, but you do have to go.

Thank you, sweetie, so, so very much. I have been totally blown away with the level of feeling and love this fic is being given. In my wildest dreams I never thought it would make this impact. I think it strikes a chord in everyone who has taken care of someone they loved, knowing how much they are loved in return."Take care of one another." It is almost the EXACT same thing my father said to the Hubs and I the last time I saw him alive. I will never forget that. Even in pain and dying, our loved ones still want us to come first.
