I am a 37 year old wife and mother and began reading fanfiction in the middle of last year. Soon it revived my desire to write, which had lain dormant for a number of years, and I couldn't be happier. I do hope you enjoy my stories as I empty my head of them.
Thanks to MMADfan I proudly ship AD/MM, and thanks to OSUSprinks I proudly ship FF/PS. I am also rather fond of SS/OC and am beginning to appreciate the SS/HG ship thanks to Subversa.
Happy Reading and writing!!
Cheers!!

Whoa! Different & very good! I loved the pacing, the description -- just enough, never too much or too little -- and the "slow reveal." Excellent pacing and development in such a short fic, too!Very interesting speculation! (AU, of course -- and you know I LOVE AU!)Glad I saved the link in my email! See you! ~

O_o. I am soo glad you saved the link too. =o) <~~ That is what your review does for me. Yay! I am very happy that you enjoyed it. Oh, yes! AU is definitely near and dear to my heart too.
The ebony hair gave her away. Of course Tom would never love someone. But what would have happen if he were aware he had had a child? Would he have learn love too?
Response from Stefdarlin (Author of If Only)
Somehow, I don't peg Tom as the type to love at all. Even if a child were involved. Tom's agenda is simple: ~~Find & obtain the greatest power there is~~Use anyone to obtain that power~~Get rid of anyone who gets in the wayFor Severus'sake, I would think it would be a good thing to protect him from his true fathers identity. =o)
So very well done! What a surprise. I did wonder with the description of the hair if it was Eileen. You've captured the essence of Tom Riddle very well.
Response from Stefdarlin (Author of If Only)
Yay!! I am so awed that you liked it. Thank you, thank you.
Lovely, Stef! *applauds* :)

Sees something shiney. *Faints* =o)
Nicely written. A little speculation and bending of canon never hurt anyone especially when the result is this little story.
Response from Stefdarlin (Author of If Only)
Aww, thank you. Sometimes, the bending almost breaks it off. Glad you enjoyed it.
I was deeply impressed with this. It's very different to alot of stuff out there, and nicely written. Well done.
Response from Stefdarlin (Author of If Only)
Yay, thanks. You have me grinning ear to ear. =o)
Uh, chilly! But brilliant!
Response from Stefdarlin (Author of If Only)
Tee hee. Yes, this is my walk on the dark side. Thank you very much!
Oh my. Yet another fic speculating on Snape's parentage. Very well written. I think it is highly plausible until the memories in DH, which imply Snape highly resembles Tobias Snape. Still, good writing, good flow, good job!
Response from Stefdarlin (Author of If Only)
Hmm, I was thinking he would look more like his mother for this fic. Which, truthfully, would probably be a good thing. Lol. Thanks for all your kind words; you have me blushing here. =o)
