That was fun.  I hope you're feeling better.  I have also had my share fair or falls from a horse, though (knock on wood) I haven't broken anything yet.  Since it has been so long since the last chapter though, I was hoping to ask that when you post the next one, could you maybe give us a quick update on where everyone has been and what's been going on?  I have to admit that I remember very little of this story except that I liked it.  I have about 40 different stories that I'm currently following and it's hard to keep track of them all.  Thanks for this chapter!

I've read the first two or three chapters of this in the past and then always forgotten about it. I don't intend to stop now though. It's fascinatingly good. Superb, really - your Hermione is just perfect.

Thanks for the update.  It's been so long since I've read this, had to refresh.  Sorry you've had it tough this past year and hope you have recovered fully (so you can write more :-) )  Merry Christmas!

What a  wonderfully unexpected chapter.

OMG SNAPE IS GOING TO BE A FATHER !!!! (sorry for the yelling) That's most assuredly a wonderful Christmas gift and an embarrasing thing to tell one's girlfriend...

Thank you very much!!  Merry Christmas!  And hope you get to feeling better :)

Very good. Get well soon. Hint, hint! :)

OK, I almost got busted for reading this at work when I squealed out loud!!  I'm so glad there's a lot more to read...now I just have to figure out how to get things done at home so I can read.  Too bad I don't have a wand

Oh dear.  That's not good, is it.   (I'd rate it higher if I could!Q!)

I have missed this story soooo much! thanks for posting again, as it was Fair Exchanges that brought me to TPP in the first place. HOpe you are feeling better, and have a better holiday than you'd had an autumn! Post again when you've got time, this truly is too good to go unfinished. Cheers!

i love this story!!!i just reread it again.for the love of god please finish it!!! or at least give me another chapter!! please!!

Oh my god! I'm dying for more! I just stayed up all night...literally...reading this from start to finish. And I'm now dreading an early breakfast because it means I have no more sexy Snape to read about. *sigh* Eggs and bacon it is...

Just re-read this for the tenth (or so) time. It's just so fantastic. Can't wait for you to get further into this. Who cares about SS/HG? They already have a gazillion stories to themselves. Bring on the pretty slash! :-D

I've enjoyed the story with HG/SS but am not liking all the "partners" Snape is with, would she give him another glance if she knew, If she's suppopsed to be faithful, then he should be too. It takes some of the magic away for the reader.

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this story.  I enjoy the relationship between Severus and Hermione.  However I have reservations about Severus' "infidelities" with the centauras and Draco, as well as Hermione's indecisiveness about what she wants.  I don't want to see any of them hurt.  It seems cruel of Hermione think about courting Ron, then go and seduce Severus.  Surely she has more conscience than that.  I understand that Severus has roles to play, but he told Hermione that he loves her. 

LOVE it! God, what a great twist! Fantastic! Bring it on! (or, if you don't want to include the slashy goodness in this story, please write it on the side as a companion PWP)

Oh my.

Well, you're back with a bang! (So to speak.)

I don't think anybody should be surprised with this turn of events, considering you've already tossed him (quite willingly) to the centaur chicks and he's had a heavy (and enjoyable, from his pov) snog with Draco already.

But, do we get to see what happened between Sev & Hermione? Are you going to go back to that, and finish the scene? Or have we moved forward in time?

Oh, my. I never suspected that Hermione's emotions were this disengaged. I fear for Severus.

Just for once, I'd like to have a normal boyfriend, someone to hold hands with in the corridor and walk around the lake with."

This is the beginning of the end, then. He took her hand, letting nothing show in his face but a hint of self-deprecation. "Again I'm sorry, Hermione. I can only hope I will suffice."
------------------

Oh, the angst. I'm rereading this story now that you're updating again, and oh, this chapter ending twists the knife in the most painful way. Well done!

Wow you're back! It's good to see the story that converted me to this ship updated again. Keep up the fabulous writing and beautiful character development. I'll keep an eye out for updates!

Was very happy to see an update to this story.  It's been awhile and had to re-read the whole thing again.  I hope the next update won't be far away.

I have just found this little gem of yours and enjoyed every single bit! What a nail biting, hair trearing experience...  Thank you for this exquisite weekend entertainment!

Contrary to your saying I like this very much, but I also would have like to know what happened exactly after the end of the previous chapter.

ah, Poor Severus. Remus is in for it now! Lucky sod.

Snape and Hee hee hee, in the same equation, as well as the whole "Origin of the Universe" thing! Been there! Love it!! hee hee
