New Chapter for Contraceptus: Continuum
Contraceptus: Continuum
Ariadne AWS51 Reviews | 4.86/10 (51 Ratings, 0 Likes, 43 Favorites )
A long time ago, Severus made the right potion for the wrong reasons. Hermione finds it, and is furious - also for the wrong reasons. With the help of some wise counsel, they untangle mistakes, miscommunications, and misinterpretations, all the while committing more. A parable on situational ethics surrounding a crime he never committed. (Winner, Best Drabble Series ~ MPP Round 4; Runner-up, Hurt/Comfort ~ 2008 OWL Awards)

She knows. Does he know she knows?

Wow.
Ariadne, you are such a brilliant author I cannot get enough of your stories!
And now imagine this person here, this very one Severus Snape, perishing in DH as he did. The only one who deserved solace. Because this desperate need to allow himself to hope might very well be his true life for twenty years. Because this, what you have written here, could very well be true for him. Maybe not for Hermione, but in general.

*nods sadly* I think the dilemma between hope and reality is one that canon-Snape could so easily have gotten stuck in, even as a teenager - then multiply it by 20 years, and... yeah. Ow.*hugs you*~ Ari

This is strong, Ariadne, very strong. In my previous encounter with this story, it must have ended as a one-shot. It sure works well, but this second chapter is appealing even if the first one ended in a satisfying way.

Where did I read this before? OWL, perhaps. But it still resonates powerfully with the ramification of your punch-line.

. The one-shot version was posted to the usual places - it just wouldn't stay one-shot in my mind, so I had to keep writing. So pleased you like it!~ Ari

Disarm, or disfoot?
She has forgiven him. Now he needs to forgive himself.
Beautifully, it came full circle. That's one sexy shoe-removal.
Drabbles are a form of poetry, and your Severus thinks in subtle poetry. I like the undercurrent of things said and unsaid.
Wow, this is dark, but compelling, thrilling in its darkness.

Now the ball is in his court. She has come to terms with what he did, what he wanted and why. Now can he accept her answer?

I am glad Molly is trying to knock some sense into Hermione. Perhaps she should try the shoe? Now we find out she trusted her of all people with the way to save him and she still is being an idiot!
Response from Ariadne AWS (Author of Contraceptus: Continuum)
*grins* There is a bit of a Cinderella take on this here, isn't there? :) I had such fun with Molly in this story; if anyone can get Hermione to see that all of her logic isn't going to reach a stable answer and that she has to feel with her heart in this situation, seems it should be Molly. Yes - Hermione is missing the obvious here, isn't she? Still, I can't judge her too harshly at this point; she's had almost no time to come to terms with what he confessed to her, and I think some confusion is warranted. Thank heavens Molly has such wisdom! :)Thank you :)~ Ari

My Gods how utterly romantic! I am sorry, but it is, for a man to spend one night a month for nine months to make a potion for one woman... just in case. My heart breaks for him. I hope Hermione realizes what his action really say.
Response from Ariadne AWS (Author of Contraceptus: Continuum)
*smiles* It is romantic of him to have done that, just in case, despite the moral murkiness surrounding his actions... thank you so much,

Very good but stories that stop where they are justgetting interesting are very annoying LOL. Really a good well thought out piece. Something totally new and different.
The relationships you have created are something new and fresh. As always thank you for another work of art.
Wow! What a story. I don't know what to think just yet. Beautiful. Fascinating.
Thank you.
