Reviews for Letting Go
Five years + is a very long time to go without a stiffy. Not that they don’t richly deserve it. Certainly they do. The punishment fits the crime. Clap clap clap well done! I am especially impressed that the boys managed to figure it out so quickly. I would have thought there would have been more fumbling about in confusion. Although maybe because the extra blood flow was no longer in the penis area the brain was functioning smoothly? Yes that is probably it. Looking forward to the next chapter!
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Letting Go)
I think the sudden rush of blood numbed their brains. Either that, or you know how it is ... when someone knows deep down they've done something wrong, when the consequence happens, it just makes sense somehow.
Ohhhhhh, how you find time to submit your own stuff is unbelievable! But eagerly consumed nevertheless!I luurve your stuff, this one especially has been a favourite for a long time and I'm so glad to see it updated :D.Ron+Harrys pay back was just delicious, I cant wait to see them beg for an out on this one. LOL
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Letting Go)
It has been a while since I updated, it's true. It's so difficult to find time, but I am taking steps to remedy that. ;)
Having them beg for an out is an excellent idea. As always, I use my readers reviews for inspiration!
This, is perfection. Revenge - be it so sweet. A very wicked little grin has been on my face ever since I read what Hermione was making.
The potion/lotion, maneuvering Ginny into helping, the beautiful scene betwenn SS and HG, and the 'end' results for HP and RW. Absolute perfection.
If only this stuff could truly be made, and marketed. You'd be rich and those few of us women with a grudge against some man would be smiling a wicked little grin, too. [Maniacally lol]
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Letting Go)
I would be rich, wouldn't I? I suppose I'd have just as much fun brewing it as well. 
Great revenge! Absolutely great!Loved the talk with Ginny. And the wonderful, delicious lovemaking.Thanks you for the update, and more please?!
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Letting Go)
I thought long and hard, mulling over a few suggestions, about how she would get her revenge. I'm glad you liked it!
Response from Miepje (Reviewer)
Yes! And the whole romantic buildup to the revenge and the boys' dawning realization made it even better. *evil grin* Just imagine the years of frustration...
Where can I get some of that lube? I know a couple of men I'd like to try it on. Hehe. I nearly fell off the chair I was laughing so hard!
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Letting Go)
No kidding. I'm afraid that if that lube was marketed, half the male population would be disfunctional. 
Yay, an update! About time, woman!! ...So, where's the next one, hmmmm?~Lotm
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Letting Go)
Yikes! I promise, it's in the works!! (I think I need to make this emoticon public. *snicker*)
Response from ladyofthemasque (Reviewer)
Gorgeous icon!! *lusts after it...clears throat, blushes*Er, yeah...cool, glad you're going to update soon.~Lotm
Yay, a new chapter! I can't wait to see what Harry and Ron do about the Luscious Lovemaking Lubricant. *snicker*
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Letting Go)
The cogs are turning in my head, thinking up the next chapter ... it should be interesting to see their reaction.
An absolutely delectable chapter! Loved the revenge plan, the talk with Ginny, the beautiful love making, and especially Ron and Harry's "predicament." :) Can't wait to see what they do to beg her! Eagerly awaiting your next installment, as always.
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Letting Go)
What a pickle they've gotten themselves into... hmm, think they'll think it through before they betray someone again? Magic knows no bounds (neither does revenge). 
I am glad the boys got 5 years of torture. They very much deserved it, especially since the Aurors were absolutely useless. Too bad Severus and Hermione waited that long before they married, though. LOL. I understand the premise... wait until the revenge is over. Still... at least they didn't wait for the honeymoon. :) Entertaining reading.
Thoroughly enjoyed this! 
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Letting Go)
I'm glad you did ... even if it did make you all melty. LOL
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Letting Go)
I'm glad you did ... even if it did make you all melty. LOL
Yep, I'm yelling for an update :P
like this story i can't wait to read the next chapter
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Letting Go)
I'll take that as a hint ... hahaha. Am working on it!
Honestly!
Brilliant solution. Absolutely brilliant. I cannot wait for the next chapter!
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Letting Go)
I cannot wait too. Now, where is that darn pen... 
I had a feeling you'd have more of this up over here...Evil, notsosaintly! I knew the minute SS left there'd be trouble... damn you! On to the next chapter. :)
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Letting Go)
*snicker* And I had a feeling you'd come over here to find more. ;)
I loved that chapter!! The entire bathroom scene had not only character development but humour that kept me reading and wanting to know more. Harry clearly only wanted Hermione as someone who represented stability in his life, and he held her back from all of the things that she took value in. It makes me angry with Harry that he would keep her from making friends and that the friend he allowed was the person Harry was betraying her with.
This story was fantastic. I'll definately be voting for it at Multifaceted.
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Letting Go)
Thank you for your vote! I'm really glad you like it.
*Woop* go 'Mione, go 'Mione! Grr Harry and Ron *glares* Lovin it, update soon!~Sarah
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Letting Go)
Just got back from vacation ... will try to update as soon as humanly possible!!
*EBIL CACKLE* mwhaahahhaaha... Cant wait for the next chapter(s)!!!!
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Letting Go)
Thanks... *polishes evil thinking cap*
another awesome chapter, love the idea of harry not being able to get it up or 5 years LOL. cant wait to the next chapter
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Letting Go)
*rubs hands together* Oh, Harry and Ron have no idea....
Yes, but delivering the potion to two wary idiots...now that will have to be a bit creative. It's Snape, so they'll be wary of potions. It's Hermione, so they'll be wary of revenge....May I suggest that the potion NOT be delivered in the standard liquid/tainted drink form...nor as an atomized mist/sprayed liquid or an inhaled gas? For that matter, a salve is trite, too...but perhaps a lover's lotion? Hermione should know what Harry and Ron's favorite flavors are, after all. Or even plain, ordinary soap...with a compulsion to use it for body-washing until it's aaaaaaaall gone? *evil grin*Just some ideas for ya!~LotmP.S. Have you received anything interesting in the mail, lately?
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Letting Go)
Thank you for the ideas (I can use them!) ... I am making mental notes. I most definitely want to do something that hasn't been done too much before.
(Oh, and I did receive something quite interesting in the mail this afternoon, as a matter of fact. *grins widely* I've sent you an e-mail!)
Response from ladyofthemasque (Reviewer)
Yay!! (I read the email, squeeness!)Oh, and have you ever noticed how much Canon!Harry loved polishing his Firebolt with broomwax? Whatcha bet he's still doing it to this day? And how much Ron would polish his own broom handle, too? Muweheheh. Just a thought.Or perhaps switching the 'lubricant' commonly used for certain sporting activities that have nothing to do with polishing real broom handles?*eeeeviiiiil grin*~Lotmthe inventive
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Letting Go)
Broomwax... yes. Oh, that is just perfect... You are the queen of ideas. (Don't hesitate to share more if they pop into your head!)
Woo-hoo!! punishment for 5 years, 2 months and 3 days...that works...now will it be used on both the pricks or just Harry?
I'm so glad you've finally updated this one. I love this story...mas, por favor...more,please...
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Letting Go)
I think both pricks deserve to be deflated, don't you?
Response from queenp (Reviewer)
Yup...both need to be deflated!! 
(or should it be 
So, how will you deflate them? When will it happen? Can we get an update soon???????????please?
if not, i may have to cry!
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Letting Go)
You may have to wait until after my vacation ... we'll have to see how that works out. (Almost thought this chapter wasn't going to make it ...)
Response from queenp (Reviewer)
*sniff* *WAIL* NOOOOOO!!!!!! not a vacation...that is too long!!!!
:D oh, wait...that should be :(
Oh I do so love a devious Hermione, almost as much as Severus. They are just so yummy together like that. Wonderful job. -- B
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Letting Go)
Thank you! I think I rather like Hermione a little devious as well ... it's good she's taking back control of her life post-Harry.
I cannot begin to tell you how much I adore this story, NSS! I had to start at the beginning again today and read the whole thing. I'm a complete sucker for a gallant Snape, and one who still has his Slytherin sense of revenge is even better! The best part about their plan is that it will punish Ron as well as Harry. You are delightfully wicked, my dear!
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Letting Go)
Wicked is my middle name, didn't you know?
O. My. God. Brilliant!
I would still hex them, just for good measure, but that's me. I'm like that!!! Please update soon, NSS ! you can't have the fandom waiting like this!
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Letting Go)
Glad you've liked it so far, HH! I live to please. The next installment will have to wait until after my vacation, I'm afraid, but I hope this will suffice until then. (Am traipsing across the Southwestern US in search of my muse!)
Response from HogwartsHoney (Reviewer)
The muses don't hang out in the Southwest anymore. They've found Ibiza ! Good luck with that!!!
Enjoy your vacation!!!
DAMMIT !!!!! I hope she hexes them the MINUTE they Apparate somewhere!!!! I mean, hex their legs, their eyes, put up a silencing charm, bind them AND bat-bogey them!!
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Letting Go)
Oh, you really need to read the next chapter. I can't wait to read what you think of that one!
