Yay!! Fantastic chapter, brilliantly written. I was laughing and tearing up all at the same time! And now....they're going to meet!!! What will they say when they find out who they are???? One question: Why didn't Harry twig who Severus was talking about?Looking forward to the next installment xx

Hmmm. Surely he'll manage to figure out who she is based on the description of her past. At the very least, he has to know subconciously. I wonder, though, how Hermione will react when she finds out who she is.It was nice to see Harry pop up here, well before the traditional 'Oh my god, why are you seeing the Greasy Git' scene. :)Sitting on the edge of my seat, waiting to read about their meeting (no worries.... the edge is comfortable)

YEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!Squealing rather undignified fangirl squeals! This was most excellent!!!!Well done Lady!!!Mm

YES!!!! Finally! Love, love, loving this update, keep up the amazing work!

Somehow, I think this extremely short note will be better received than the last one she wrote.

Fabulous chapter!  And a truly evil place to stop - can't wait for the next update!!

No.  You cannot stop here, it's too cruel. You can't write a perfect chapter and not give us another immediately.  Can you tell I really liked this chapter?

Awesome! I'm so glad that they're going to meet. I really can't wait to see their reactions!This chapter was good, one of those ones that tugs at the heart strings. And I loved drunk Severus and Harry! Great work!

You HAVE to write more soon! This was so wonderful. I love this story. I was shaking just as bad as Hermione by the end of the letter. Thanks for writing!

Awwww!  This chapter had me in tears.  I'd love to be a fly on the wall when "Tobias" and "Joy" meet ... Very nicely written.  I'm looking forward to more ... and I wish I can give you more than 5 stars for this most wonderful story.

Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!

This story has been so delightful.  I can't wait to find out what happens when "Joy" and "Tobias" meet face to face!

When I first opened this story I wasn't sure what to expect.  Hermione trying to have a baby by artificial insemeniation?  Snape applying as a sperm donor?  However, some fan fiction writers have the amazing ability to lead the characters through an out-of-character experience and make it seem like the most natural thing in the world.  You, my dear, have this ability.  My spirit lifts each time I see a new chapter posted.  I can't wait for more.  Thanks for sharing this with us.  

“At this point, Professor, you’d be lucky to teach him your full name,”That was good. I enjoyed that.Well, well, now things are really getting interesting! Can't wait for the reveal-and the baby-making ;)Livvy

Do hurry up, dear lady! :) I want the rest. I want the rest. I want the rest. I want the rest. I want the rest. I want the rest. I want the rest. :)

Oh wow, loved the chapter.  I don't know where to start, Severus's sulking and drinking, Harry trying to befriend him of Hermione's emotional mess.  All wonderful.

Now that I have manage to dry my tears, scheemingly looking around, hoping my co-workers hasn't noticed my sligthly red eyes (this chapter was NOT worksafe by the way:-)), I can thank you from the bottom of my heart for a most lovable, enjoyable, heartwarming and touching chapter!I am so happy that they both have taken a leap of faith and agreed upon meeting eachother. At the same time I am almost shaking with the thougth of everything that can go wrong when two such emotionally fragile characters will meet, hoping more than anything that since Christmas will soon be here, you are feeling good will and kindness to man, and make them, if not swoon into eachoters arms, at least remember the feelings they already have for eachoter through the letters, and that they are willing to still try to build a future based on that, even if they know eachother from before. But, once again, what a brilliant chapter!

squeeeeeee!!!  they're going to meet in person!!!!  and yay for Harry being mature enough to reach out in friendship to him.  as painful as Valentine's Day was for both of them, I think it was helpful for Harry to see Severus in that shape - and to hear that Severus really loved "Joy."  thanks for the new chapter!

Oh, how I loved that one... Understanding and mature Harry, self-conscious Snape drinking himself into oblivion, and then the dam finally burst... Great! Although I wonder how he could NOT guess who she is after this description. Go ahead!

brava!  keep up the great work - and hurry!!

*resisting urge to squee*Fantastic chapters, as always!

You're right, I liked it, but "evil" is simply not an adequate word to describe the nature of the cliffie you just hatched. So I'll just say that the letters were simply wonderful and touching, and I really liked Harry's guest-star appearance, too.

YEAH!!!!!!!  now for the burning question:  Where should they meet?  Please don't keep us in suspense for to long!

Wow! Wow! Wow! I cheer and wish and cross my fingers. This is so perfect! Suspense was expertly executed, weighted in a perfect scope and volume, emotions vivid and lucid, Harry-cameo touching, and the twist came from a direction I did not fully expect. Literary gem, if I can see past the plot - which is quite difficult in fact, as the plot is so fascinating.

Awww! How sweet, that they both want something so much more than this baby. I'm happy they are going to come clean about how they really feel. I wonder which one will be more shocked at their unveiling?
