Congratulations on a story well written. I found this for the first time today, and I was trilled to find a 18 chapter story I hadn't read before. I have read it all in one sitting and have enjoyed every minute!!! Thank you again, I'll sure will look for other stories made by you.

What a truly fantastic, meserising story! I just couldn't stop reading it once I'd started. I am really happy to have stumbled over it complete. :D The wait for the next chapter would have been torture otherwise.

You did well, my friend ~ very well indeed.

YAY!  Absolutely fantastic!  Can't believe it's already done!  What a wide range of emotions. You've done brilliantly with capturing Severus and Hermoine.  Fantasmic! :)

This story has been incredibly fascinating, and I felt a bittersweet twinge when the end came about: the chapter detailing their happiness and perfect fit together was a wonderful way to draw the story to a close - but it was still with great regret to read the last sentence, and know there was nothing more to follow it. You have said that you revel in writing; it definitely shows. I beg you to write more SS/HG stories, especially the mature-themed kind.

I am so sorry I haven't reviewed this chapter eariler, but I never got an update.  I think it was a very sweet ending and a happy  one.  I thought this was a wonderful tale and hope to encounter more of your work.

When I first started reading this story I was slightly sceptical. First of all I never found it sufficiently explained why only a not fully educated witch or wizard could enter the pensieve, nor how the memories had been chosen (might have missed a few details, but I kept waiting for the explanation, thinking it would be a plot-point). Furthermore, I was unsure how I felt about the story being told in first tense, as very few can do this well. I'll have to say however, you won me over. The story really grew on me. Particularly after the trial. Fantastic UST! And the use of first tense just worked. I actually found myself quite enjoying it, as you did it so well. So all in all congratulations on a job very well done. I will definately look forward to more from you. Thank you sharing!

What a great conclusion to the story. I never would have thought you were inexperienced at writing, either! Keep up the amazing work.

You may not be an experienced writer, but you are an excellent one!  Please, I beg of you, use your talents and write more stories for us to enjoy!  Please!!!  Thank you for this great story...and I hope to see many more stories from you in the future!

Wonderful work! I loved their confrontation, and I think you chose the perfect time to conclude.

Write On! 

Lack of experience as a writer can only be fixed one way... do it some more. Beyond all doubt, you have a knack for it. Thanks for the story, it was well worth the time spent reading it.

i'm glade you love writting so much. i enjoy reading. it was a great story and you brought the plot through well. i hope you write more. keep up the good work.

Sugar, you did brilliantly! You so totally have not carried it too far! I'm sad that we've reached the end! I can't wait to read what you next write! (lol, there is a lot of exclamation points, I know but oh well) Anyway, go you!

Well, that was a satisfying end to a really great story. You wrote a well thought-out plot with good characterisations, and you gave us an interesting back-story to the SS/HG interaction.  It felt like the natural point to finish the tale, and while lemons weren't necessary, they were nicely done, and you have every right to include them. Don't for a minute think readers were only appreciating your story for the promise of lemons -- I would seriously doubt that. It's all in the writing, and you did that very, very well.

As I read through the much anticipated last chapter of your great story, I began to form a review in my mind. It would read something like - I'm delighted that finally amazing stories can stand their ground without explicit lemons, and recently there have been two great stories finished without smut. Only one remained now. I hoped to write that it was wonderful that fandom finally appreciates new stories with to-the-point characterisation, intricate plot, thrilling dialogues and realistic character development without sex for sex's sake scenes.While all the praise from the above outline of my first intended review holds for your story, the last scene has been a disappointment. Don't get me wrong; it was well-written, hot and sensual, and I recognise that you succumbed to your readers' requests for explicit sexual content in their reviews. The ending I dared to envision as I read through the wedding preparations was them dancing together in public, or Severus expressing his feelings for her, or open recongnition from Harry and Ron of Hermione's decision, his proposal... Anything. Anyway, that's my personal opinion. Apparently, I'm a minority. The story has been amazing, and I thank you for bringing it to us. I hope that once your busy real life settles a bit once again, you would write another breathtaking adventure for us. I'll be looking forward to it.

Lovely, my dear.  Well done.  Congratulations on some truly memorable lines and a hot, tastefully written lemon.

Excellent.  Very well done.  I think you ended the story at a good point, and very gracefully.  And the lemon was excellent.  Thanks for a great story.  It's become one of my favorites.

I've really enjoyed reading this story, and I'm sad to see it end, although I know it must. And that last scene was exquisite. Nicely done!

The confrontation between Hermione and Snape was great! 

awsome  i loved  it! I'm on vacation we  are working are way down the pacific coast .Gotta see some more red woods and and then home and we are stoping at motel's with internet  so i don't miss  anything:  and i am so glad it would have killed me to wait ! Very  very good story.You must write us another one .If  it was legal i would pay you.Best wishe's to you.

Yaaay for Hermione! And yay for spontaneous hugging of Professor Snape!

*beams*

And a wonderful job you've done too, Miss First-time Author! Looking forward to your forthcoming fictions, as I'm sure you'll keep writing.

I've been reading this on Ashwinder, but then tracked it back here and realized the whole story was posted. So I'm devouring it chapter by chapter and enjoying it immensely.

wonderful!   Was waiting for that bit of tartness;)!Great story and can't wait to read your next onemarti

I think the final chapter was well-written, but in my opinion, this was a very abrupt ending.  After 17 chapters building up to whether or not there would even be a relationship between the two characters, the relationship itself deserved a chapter or two to unfold.  Instead, we learn about it de facto, which felt odd in comparison to the excrutciating detail of the rest of the story.  Frankly, it felt as though you ran out of steam at the end. I still can't give you anything less than five stars, because you write wonderfully and your character development had a certain integrity and believeability that is none-too-common in this genre.  Really an excellent story overall.  It's just the last chapter that seems incongruous.
