Reviews for Bundle of Joy
So many little things to snicker at. Very enjoyable chapter. :)
now that chapter was awsome. i like the way that they each has dreams/visions of the other. It felt more intimate, than what it would really be like at the clinic or wherever its called.
Beautifully written. I am really enjoying your fic. Keep up the good work! XOXOXO
O...My...god.Lol, I cannot wait for the next chapter!!! YAY!!!
Oh, I feel really bad for Hermione. Trying so hard and failing is immensely traumatic. I liked that Severus suggested that they meet.
You have intrigued me. I enjoyed your clues as to who their identies are without ever mentioning their names. :)
this was a fantastic installment, jam-packed with great stuff. from the beginning, going back and forth between the both of them being so miserable and all because they have each made incorrect assumptions about the other, to hermione realizing she's not even sure she wants to get pregnant because it will mean the end of things, to drunk!snape (antennae on the auror's privates! i liked how in one sentence from harry you conjure up so much havoc wreaked), to their letters to each other at the end. fantastic. :D
I can feel the love!!!
I cried for Joy, and I cried for Tobias... both of them suffering from hearts broken for different but very much related reasons.Thank Merlin that Harry was there for Severus when he trying to drink himself into mind-numbing oblivion. I don't think if it had been anyone else, he would have been able to get the professor to leave the Hog's Head let alone talk about what had torn his heart asunder.When Severus read the short note from Hermione telling him that the first attempt had not brought about a pregnancy, my heart broke for him because he felt he had been nothing to her. Nothing could have been further from the truth.I felt my heart soar when he read the very long letter from her in which she told him of her true feelings for him. Her efforts to let him know just how much he had come to mean to her put the biggest smile on his face and on mine!And I just had to pump my fist in the air when I read his reply to her... they should meet and conceive this much longed for child together. YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! A Thousand Times YES!And her very short answer was music to my ears: Where should we meet? You are a wonderful author and I am so very grateful that you share you tale with us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.I bow to your inestimable talent.BethA Thousand Points to Your House!
Wow, lady - good stuff! I'm really enjoying this story and I like how you've handled both Severus & Hermione's characters. Thank you for posting this, and I look forward to the rest. Cat
I can't help thinking he knows who she is."I am and always have been of a rather resentful and implacable nature; you know this.""Your former husband is a fool of the most lamentable kind..."Does he know ? - how romantic if he does.And if he doesn't - it's still romantic!!Really, you can't lose with this story!
what a roller coaster of a chapter! and now, finally they're going to meet. i am really awaiting this coming update semi-patiently. i know rl can intrude but i'm hoping things will be well for you (selfishly, tho). thanks so much, my lady and i will compose myself in (semi-)patience until next time.
love your story- more soon please
Hermione's missive seems a little rushed. I wonder what that moment was like when she finally broke down and wrote the letter. All in all a great update you had me in tears.
so cruel, more please asap. Loving the story.
That is just as evil a cliffhanger as any suspense story!! I am so glad they are going to get together... I just hope the shock of seeing who the other is doesn't keep them from enjoying the meeting! Lovely story, I am waiting not very patiently for the next chapter!
OMG. They're doing it. I mean they are going to meet. it' so exciting. They'll probably be shocked to death but I don't care. I hope RL will give you a bit of respite so you'll be able to have next chapter ready soon. Snitchette, giving fervent prayers to Gods or anyone
If my roommates weren't sitting next to me, there'd be whooping and hollering here. I am soooo glad they are going to meet, even though it though it does seem a bit out of character for Snape not to realize immediately who his blind-date is...Great work, I'm really looking forward to more!!Love, gab
Goodness. I'm glad they have cleared the air. I wonder if there will be all new drama when they see who each other is for the first time. Can't wait to see that. lol
OH MY GOSH! Perfect torture! This story has a sweetness about it that shines through the words; illuninating the depth of the characters like sunlight streaming through stained glass. I can't wait for every update, and know I will enjoy reading this story over and over again. What an artist you are, painting such vivid pictures with words.My warmest regards,Fizzabella
Okay, so you said I'd be happy, but I must admit that throughout most of this I was not happy. Thanks for coming through though and making the wait well worth it. I'm happy now.Thank heavens one of them caved and wrote the other about what they feel! Sometimes you just want to slap these two upside the head. Now, the big meeting. I can't wait to see what they think of the other.
Wonderful story! So happy you've won the award. I look forward to the next chapter! Thank you for posting!
Wooo-Hoooo! Horray for the old fashioned way! I'm so excited! I hope that when they meet they don't glamour themselves! I want to also shoot you a quick "Thank You" for bringing me back to the fandom...I haven't read any updates since the beginning of November probably...but when I got the notice that this story updated I came back without thinking. I can't wait for Chapter 7! Much Love ~ Karen
Wow. Great chapter, LT. I hope you are caught up with RL, and are writing quickly. I can't wait for the "meeting of the minds" (and bodies, *wink, wink*) hopefully in your next chapter. Sorry about the creative punctuation.
oh. oh. oh! I fear that the next chapter is going to be one of those where I have to get up in the middle and run around screaming from the TENSION! which is a good thing.
