Darned Child and Devsgma have combined their talents to tell you the story of what has happened to our favorite pair. It starts with a few letters from one extremely grouchy Potions maker to the manager of a used book store. Canon through Deathly Hallows to the point of Severus Snape's supposed death at which point it becomes AU.

Reviews for Beyond 84 Charing Cross Road
I blushed during the bath comments. Damn, I'd love to have Severus with me while I took a bubble bath!
Response from devsgma (Author of Beyond 84 Charing Cross Road)
Aww, that's sweet.
I'm surprised it took Hermione this long to start connecting the dots. She's not quite there though, almost, but not quite.
Response from devsgma (Author of Beyond 84 Charing Cross Road)
Aw, but Simon's not a dullard either, my dear. Just not used to such "easy" correspondance.
Very enjoyable, the light hearted banter in the letters really make this story. I'm sure at some point the dynamics will change though.
Response from devsgma (Author of Beyond 84 Charing Cross Road)
We've struck gold, yet again! A wise, wise reader indeed! ;)
Merlin, Severus is so sneaky! I just keep laughing.
Response from devsgma (Author of Beyond 84 Charing Cross Road)
Hee! I won't tell him you're laughing. We'll keep him in the dark, shall we?
These letters are a hoot! I chuckle every chapter.
Response from devsgma (Author of Beyond 84 Charing Cross Road)
;) I don't think Simon would appreciate your comment, but we do!
I'm enjoying the light hearted easy to read chapters. Just what I needed after today.
Response from devsgma (Author of Beyond 84 Charing Cross Road)
We're always happy to welcome a new reader and quite glad that you're enjoying our tale. ;)
Very interesting... I hope you will tell us just how Hermione escaped Ron.
Response from devsgma (Author of Beyond 84 Charing Cross Road)
LOL. Kinda-sorta?
I'm litterally furious.Since the book seven I've seriously revised my vision of Dumbledore and only perceive him as an awful manipulative bastard, to be polite. He is just as evil as Voldy. And now, I discover he put all those people through the worst. I really wonder what Harry would think, were he to learn that his great mentor let his parents die, and made him live a miserable life for the first ten years of his life just because he needed his complete trust. That's just so unfair.Back to our heroes, although I understand Severus' reaction, it may have been unwised. They have no way to know now what he did to him. They probably wouldn't have gotten the information from him anyway.Thanks a lot for the quick update, it's always a pleasure to read you.

"They probably wouldn't have gotten the information from him anyway.That is exactly the conclusion Darned Child and I came to when we discussed how we wanted this part to go, which is why Simon did what he did. There was nothing to lose, basically – and it gave him (Simon) a great deal of satisfaction. ;)
I've always said Dumbledore used people, well just Severus. Great chapter.
Response from devsgma (Author of Beyond 84 Charing Cross Road)
Thank you, so very much from the both of us.
OOh, that was one evil Dumbledore. And I've always believed that sentiment that he smirked at Severus. But how are they going to cure his nightmares now?
Response from devsgma (Author of Beyond 84 Charing Cross Road)
LOL. We'll let you know as soon as we do. ;)
awesome chapter, i always knew Dumbledore was a bastard. I love how Simon burned his portrait. it was classic. can't wait to read more!
Response from devsgma (Author of Beyond 84 Charing Cross Road)
Thank you! It's surprising how many people don't care for Dumbledore. As the story progressed, I think more and more were falling out of the darling headmaster's camp. I don't know if JKR ever realized it or not. Maybe it made no difference?
wow, i can't wait to see if Yorick comes back...
Response from devsgma (Author of Beyond 84 Charing Cross Road)
Simon's chicken leave him forever? No, not possible. Is it?
HaHa Yorick, clever bird!
Response from devsgma (Author of Beyond 84 Charing Cross Road)
"Too damned clever, by half!" is what I think Simon muttered on his way past.
I love Yorick! :)
Response from devsgma (Author of Beyond 84 Charing Cross Road)
No biscuits, mind! He's getting a bit of a pouch, remember? ;)
yay yorick! thank goodness for that noble "chicken" sev can be such a wuss. terrific update. thanks so much
Response from devsgma (Author of Beyond 84 Charing Cross Road)
You're quite welcome from the both of us!
Of course he is not a coward, just terrified by a relationship with a woman. But in his case that's forgivable. At least, he is growing up into a fine male specimen *wink*
Response from devsgma (Author of Beyond 84 Charing Cross Road)
LOL ;)
Well, he took hearing his name well. This was seriously a better morning after than I'd hoped for. Very good job!
Response from devsgma (Author of Beyond 84 Charing Cross Road)
He did, surprisingly enough. Thank you!
Oh yay an update! I just love this story.
Response from devsgma (Author of Beyond 84 Charing Cross Road)
We're quite glad you do!
Sweet and sticky! :)
Response from devsgma (Author of Beyond 84 Charing Cross Road)
LOL! Thank you!
damn! am i enjoying this!!!!!!!
Response from devsgma (Author of Beyond 84 Charing Cross Road)
LOL. Good. ;)
I must confess I'd love to try the jam think. But the stickyness? Maybe a good shower can help....I'm very glad for this update, I'm just hoping for more.
Response from devsgma (Author of Beyond 84 Charing Cross Road)
Never fear, two more chapters are in the que.

You're very welcome from the both of us.
Oh my god! How will Simon/Severus react to that?!?I just found this story yesterday and began reading it. It's great! I can hardly wait for the next chapter.

I am new to the site and have read quite a few of the stories. I am really enjoying your story so far. I love the letters they are so much fun to read and make your plot so much more interesting. I bookmarked the last chapter so I can keep up with my place...I can't wait to find out what happens next.

I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to respond to your review. RL has reared it's ugly head and stolen me away. I think I've found my way back. Thank you so much for your kind words.
