Alan Rickman obsessed ex-civil servant now living the good life in France. I only write in the good ship SS/HG. However, if you think that the only way these two can get together is by some sort of forced marriage, 'binding' or whatever, don't read my stories. You will be disappointed.

Loved it! The ending brought a smile to my face. Thank you for a bit of happy ending smut fest! I love ss/hg colleague romances - so much more believable. Great job!

Lovely little piece of fluff. I'll admit that this isn't my favourite pairing, but this story is pretty much what I was looking for in a bit of lazy late-afternoon reading. Well done.

A truly lovely, wise story. Love it. More writing, please. Slytherins laughing and winning their bet, as Sev flew, made me smile.
You succeeded. I'm smiling and squirming like an idiot. I hope you have a smarmy superior look on your face. If I'd written this, that is the feature that would have permanently etched itself on my face.~Mia

Hot and lovely at the same time - very nicely written!!! :)
Response from melusin (Author of A Mutually Beneficial Arrangement)
thank you.
I liked the idea of the chocolates, that sounded cool. I liked the story a lot, not what I expected from hermione to get back at him, but I've played with ice cubes before so I know how tormenting they can be lol. I'm glad they got together at the end.
Response from melusin (Author of A Mutually Beneficial Arrangement)
thanks
Lol, yes, I'm sure that did throw him for a loop! I can only imagine what hermione has planned for him!
Response from melusin (Author of A Mutually Beneficial Arrangement)
she's very resourceful
What an exciting kiss at the end of the climax! Did it occur to Hermione that a man like Severus Snape doesn't share? Or...that he was sensitive as oppossed to simply touchy and easily offended? I suppose it has now. I wish there was more. I'd like to read about Severus being happy and feeling loved in the next chapter. Still a satisfying story though. I suppose one goal of a story is to leave the reader wanting more.
Response from melusin (Author of A Mutually Beneficial Arrangement)
I think she wants to get to know him better, and for severus too, it's a new adventure.
I can't imagine what I could do to get him back. Which way to go? Nicer, colder? Maybe she could use the word lovers instead of fuck buddies and he'd be nicer. Should she write him a letter and apologize for offending him and court him? Will there be a contest to see who can use who more coldly? I can't imagine. She's a better woman than me if she has a plan. She definetly has more experience than I do. One wilting husband, stick in the mud, not romantic, for 16 years longer than I was alive when we got married. I'm glad at least Hermione is getting some. I need a fuck buddy or a lover would be just as nice.

Aww...that was really cool how you had them discover their feelings for each other. Wonderful job and very sweet. Keep up the amazing work!~Jen

Very interesting chapter. I like how you explain why they were both in their current states before plunging into the story...good job.~Jen
Hmmm...I think I'm going to have to try out that string of pearls trick! Great story. I liked how they kind of circled each other before getting to what they both wanted - a relationship. Side note: this chapter is so not rated K+. I'd say R myself.
Response from melusin (Author of A Mutually Beneficial Arrangement)
Thanks. Don't know what happened with the rating - should be NC17. Thanks for alerting me to it.

hoorah for this delightful "pointless piece of smut" as you called it. i believe i literally howled with laughter over severus's indigation about being asked to be hermione's f.b. i will be curious to see what tricks hermione has up her sleeve, and also to see how any further elements of his Plan shape up.
Response from melusin (Author of A Mutually Beneficial Arrangement)
Thanks - it gets a bit more plotty in the second part where hermione is definitely in charge.
