OH THE TENSION OH OH I CAN HARDLY BEAR IT

Please please, more UST!

:begs:

And thank you for updating so soon...

(aka Theodicy) 

We’ve shagged nightly, so why haven’t I orgasmed lately? I wish I knew.Oh my dear Hermione, you do know but you are trying desperately to ignore it like the good girlfriend you are.I was pleasantly surprised to see an update listed today!!  I am not complaining though as I love this story.This was semi-sad chapter.  I can feel the forlorn in Hermione's thoughts and actions.  She wants very much to be good for Ron and vice versa but the seed or rather rung of doubt has been planted.  I just hope she doesn't take too long to begin to see the forest for the trees.Severus is just how I like him, smug.Great chapter!!

OK, OK, I'll write something.? I like your half-step, but for the love of Heaven, will you please have Hermione dump Ron already?? She's been with him far too long.? I like your Severus, although he must be nipping at his potions to put up with Tonks this long himself.? Um...perhaps you've notice that patience isn't one of my virtues?? Love your story and get very happy when I see an update!

Ready for act 2, please update soon.

I really like the pace at which you're developing this. It would be utterly unbelievable if Hermione, at any rate, had just given up her relationship with Ron after one (phenomenal) case of mistaken identity. She's too loyal. And Snape is probably rather into the no-strings-ness of his relationship with Tonks to jump into something with Hermione, either. Showing us how both their relationships are, and already were, headed south is going to make it all the sweeter when you get them together, I think.

i now wanna go to that club, just to see how sev would fit in. hahaha. nice.

lovin the story! 

Snape at Goth Night...my oh my.  They'd never know what hit them.

Well, perhaps SS and HG will meet up somehow at this nightclub? I guess SS affected HG more than she thought. I hope Tonks keeps her damned hands off Severus! I know-not fair, he's her boyfriend and she'll probably shag him completely. Oh well. LOL 

An update from you is one of the few things that could have made this vile day any better.  It's interesting, how they're both trying to make it work with their current paramours.  I am looking forward to reading about the proverbial straw for each of them.  Thanks for an ... informative chapter!

Well I too kind of hope SS is not compensated too much sexually by Tonks. He doesn't even to seem to be that into her.  Poor HG is not having much fun sexually.  Is the SS/HG stuff coming up soon I hope?  Of course the story is great but I was hoping to be past the SS/NT thing by now.

An update so soon? Yep!! So, you're showing us how unsatisfactory their lives are, just to make sure they'll find it easier to get together at last?

Love the story--but this chapter's too short!I notice that they both seem a little disenchanted with their partners... When will you move beyond SS/NT and HG/RW?

Poor Hermione... Severus seems to have affected her more than she consciously realises. I hope he gets his comeuppance by not being able to get appropriate compensation with Tonks.Hope to see rung four soon.

OMG..This is such a good read! I cannot wait to see how they will next meet. Update soon. :)

What a horrible thing to do! OMG! How does she get out of this? Poor Hermione!!!!

I like that side of Hermoine. You do a great job staying with character, I can't wait to see how you devolop Snape. What a cruel place to leave us hanging!

You're absolutely right, I think Hermione is the type of girl to be introspective.  In fact I expect her to be the kind of girl that will take these moments and disect them, categorize them, label them, cross-reference them, chart them, graph them and over analyze them until her brain screams for mercy.  She wouldn't be Hermione if she didn't.  The scary part is that if her encounter with Severus on the ladder had not taken place, our favorite know-it-all would certainly have settled for safe and boring, sacrifiing herself and possibly never knowing true hapiness.  This is a very bereaved and moving chapter.  You can literally feel the frenzy in many of these couplings.  The desperation for everyone to 'make with the happy' so not to disrespect the sacrifice of the dead is gut wrenching.  Excellent job and please update very soon.

This story is like chocolate too

I don't mind exposition... as long as there's more chapters and less time between them!  You're killing me over here!

Very nice! I love the introspective Hermione. *sends e-chocolates* lol.

I liked that we got a bit of backstory here, and I love "hearing" her confused thoughts. Teehee. Good work.

Now that I've read it, I don't understand how I missed reading this chapter when first published! But then I'm always put off by RW in conjunction with Snape's Woman.

Didn't think I'd like it but I do.Elen

I hate it when that happens...there is something to be said about patience, but darn it I wish everything was revealed already. How did the SS/NT happen? What's next? Needless to say I can't wait for more.
