I have to apologize to everyone, period. Real life swallowed me whole, as I have been struggling to make a living writing original fiction over the last 8 years. It has not been easy, & has been complicated by health issues. I hope people can forgive my long silences. Trying to make enough money to live on from writing is a lot harder--waaaay harder--than it looks. (At least I didn't leave any posted fanfics unfinished.)
Anyhoo...
These stories are works of parody (& thus are allowable under US law), and are not written for profit. Just for fun. I'm not making any money off of any fanfics, nor will I ever. I'm just playing around in other writers' universes.
...I am, however, making something of a living off my own stories. (If anyone wants to play around in my universes, you may visit my website, www.jeanjohnson.net, and look up my policy on Fanfics & Fanarts. It's reasonable enough and fairly easy to follow, too...)

I very thoroughly enjoyed this story, even if it was a bit OOC. (I happen to like OOC, LOL) It was touching and sexy, and I loved the twist at the end with it being Snape rather than Hermione.
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of Protector)
Sometimes, you just gotta do an OOC fanfic, lol. The authors of the original stories might deplore it, whatever series or genre it is, but honestly...fanfics are parody; a little out-of-character-ness is to be expected, and parody by its nature encourages even more...~Lotm
Wow. Wow, wow, and wow. :D Definitely one of my favourite stories. Though it did take me a while to figure out the 'Rus' was SeveRUS shortened. -.- Thick :D.Thank you for a wonderful story!
I realise that this is a bit old, but since I was not a member of TPP back then and enjoy browsing through the archives, I can't help to say "thank you" for some very nice evening entertainment!
That was a wonderful story!!! I love the slightly AU nature of Snape. Mean and cranky mostly to play a role but underneath a real sweetie. LOL. That's really what Snape is in my head.
Yes, I want my own Snape with instruction manual too!!!Still reading, still loving the story.

Teehee...I want one, too!~Lotm

Love this story! Love the nickname Rus. I can't wait to find out what happens next.
Oh this is good. I can't wait to read the next chapter.
Their little fight was so cute. I can't believe I just wrote cute in reference to Snape.
I want a Granger-Snape of my own! I loved that bit. How nice to see that side of Snape.
Nicely handled!
I don't know if my last review went through for this chapter - I am having computer issues.Great chapter. Poor Snape with his low self-esteem. Poor confused Hermione!
Oh the plot thickens. So I am guessing love or at least sex will play a role in the cure. I liked the letters and how much Snape is revealing. It will be interesting to see how he describes himself to her.
Oh what a great set up! Can't wait to see what the cure is about and two year wait?!?!? Off to read more.
If I were Hermione, I'd curse Harry for interrupting. Great chapter.
This was probably the best slightly-OOC Snape story I've read. And I really do wish I had my own Granger-Snape. I'll have to make an instruction manual for my next boyfriend [hah.]. <3

Ya know, I tried that with a prospective boyfriend. He said he'd write one up, but he never did. Sheesh! And men are the ones complaining that women don't come with, let alone provide, instruction manuals!~Lotm
Im glad Severus seems different, still an enigma, but very different. I'm intrigued as to how this will measure up to "In Annulo" My favorite story.
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of Protector)
Probably won't measure up quite as much. I started writing this story before In Annulo...and then book 6 hit me in the gut, and I had to write IA as post-traumatic stress therapy. Then eventually got back to this one, shrugged and said "meh!", and posted it anyway.~Lotm
Priceless.
I loved the owner's manuals. And their interactions were great.
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of Protector)
...If I can ever find a guy willing to write one for me, you can bet I'll probably follow it!~Lotm
loved it :)
Loved It! Loved It! Loved It! I have read many SS/HG fanfics and this is one of my favorites so far. Thank you so much for posting this story and sharing it with everyone.
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of Protector)
You're quite welcome!~Lotm
Yes, I noticed he declared his love a bit freely as well. All I can say in Hermione's defense is that was quite a bit to take in all at once. *mumbles about her being rather dunderheaded about his identity.*
I am sincerely finding it hard to believe Hermione hasn't put two and two together yet. Is she that thickheaded at times?
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of Protector)
She's not thickheaded. It's just highly unlikely that Snape would be writing to her, period, nevermind under an assumed identity, and thus not something she would be expecting...and not something she would therefore consider. It happens even to the best of us, ya know.~Lotm
Call me pleasantly surprised. Not at all what I expected.
Did he indeed? Hmm.. brilliant man he is.. I would venture to suggest he has requested her for "special potions project", but oh we shall see.
I would love to be in her place right now. Kiss indeed.
