Due to the often controversial nature of my fics, I've decided I will no longer be posting here (this not NOT include my WIPs--Princes in Exile and Caged Bird Sings will continue to be updated here. This is regarding only my oneshots and future long fics). You can find all my stories at my Livejournal, under the name literaryspell. None of the fics are, as yet, friendslocked, so you can read at your leisure, and friend me, or not, as you like. :D Be sure to check out my master list, which is the first post on my LJ page. Thank you!
If anyone would prefer to send comments to me personally, or would just like to talk plot or make suggestions, please contact me at literaryspell@live.com. I'm happy to hear from anyone!

A really lovely story!! You are an amazing writer!!! Kisses
Excellent job with this story as well as the previous one.
Although I'm sorry this had to end, it ended very well. Thank you for sharing both this story and the original with us. I thoroughly enjoyed both of them.
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of The Only Constant)
Thank you so much for your lovely words. I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the fics. :D
Ah, the end. I never wanted it to come, but this is a story well-ended. I've gotten past my squick (mostly, not entirely) and embraced the couple you've worked so long with. It's a great story, and a job well done.
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of The Only Constant)
I'm glad the ending was satisfying. I'm glad you were able to look past your squick and enjoy--that's a real compliment. :D
Nicely wrapped up. :)
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of The Only Constant)
Thanks muchly, hun. :D
Thank you so much for the fantisctic stories. I love every word of them. Also I'm so glad for the SSHG fic as it's OTP.I'd like to ask for a detail. I've improved my english greatyly since reading fan fiction but I'm still struggling with expressions sometimes. So could you tell me what do you mean by "het fic"? Thanks for your help.
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of The Only Constant)
Thank you for reading! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the story. :D I hope you like the HG/SS!As for het, that means heterosexual, so male/female pairings. Whereas slash is gay or male/male pairings. I won't be writing male/female pairings any longer, but sticking strictly to male/male (after the SS/HG is posted, of course). Hope that helps!
Response from snitchette (Reviewer)
Yes! Thanks a lot!
This was a perfect end. Thank for writing this sequel.
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of The Only Constant)
Thank you so much for reading! :D
I pity poor Hermione. It's hard to enjoy a preganancy when you're sick all the times.
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of The Only Constant)
She is having a bit of a rough go of it. *hugs her*
Good to see Lucius in action, hiring Percy and making Draco rest. Looking forward to seeing Thello again; no use having a Potions prodigy as friend if you don't call him for help. Thanks for updating!
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of The Only Constant)
Lucius is definitely a problem solver! Thank you so much. :D
Percy was an inspiration! :)
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of The Only Constant)
I'm sure Draco would use a different word. :D
At leas that's sorted. :)
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of The Only Constant)
Yeah, it was sort of complicated but I had to get it out there. :D
ADORABLE!! and well worth waiting for!
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of The Only Constant)
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
I knew they would be impossible once she'd told them she's pragnant. And making Harry speak for her for so cute.
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of The Only Constant)
And it's only going to get worse. :D Love that Harry kid. :D
Wow. Well, Lucius took the news very well, and that's good. But I don't like Hermione's behavior. She had just told Lucius "You will be involved in every decision. We all will." And then she ran off to the Burrow, told Harry and Ginny (and yes, it will go all over the Weasley clan now), and essentially forced Lucius and Draco to change to her will -- no discussion, no conflict resolution, no real communication. Harry isn't part of this marriage. Lucius and Draco are letting her treat them badly, IMHO.Thanks for the new chapter!!
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of The Only Constant)
Hermione has always been a "storm off rather than talk calmly" kind of girl, even in canon (like when Ron was snogging Lavender all the time, she'd make snide comments and walk away). She was definitely NOT doing the best thing for her relationship. As for whether she forced Lucius and Draco to give in to her way of thinking, remember Lucius made his decision before she came back. Even so, though, you're absolutely right--she would have pressed for her way regardless. Part of the fun of writing is making the characters make mistakes. Her pushy behaviour has been seen throughout this fic and STC as well, so there's definitely precedence. She is still learning so much (the art of compromise, for sure). Thanks for the thoughtful comment!
Response from June W (Reviewer)
(frets) The Boys will call her on it, not let her continue to be pushy? Otherwise, this marriage could go the way Thello's did, and it would be her fault.
I do hope they will be successful in their project. I long to see them interact with a pregnant Hermione. But I pity her. They won't left her in peace for even a second until the baby's born.
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of The Only Constant)
I think even after the baby is born, Hermione will still be tortured (in the lovliest way, of course) by her overprotective husbands. I can only imagine the havoc that will ensue!
Avoidance and superficiality—it had saved him before. Heh! Now that sounds exactly like Draco. 
Ilsa for another wedding... this may even become an anniversary location, but Lucius and Draco would insist on building or remodeling a more luxurious hotel. Hey, if Hermione remodeled the Shrieking Shack, why not redo the Ilsa lodge!
Thanks for the new chapter!
I truly enjoy reading each and every chapter. I also like how you have written Draco with such sensitivity. I look forward to you updates.
Draco's reaction is so perfect. :)
Wow, short time home.
I hope their charity does well.
I suppose they get to be witnesses if they're informed and invited to the ceremony. And getting away may help Draco feel more comfortable with his new feelings.
Hermione is no better than Draco eavesdropping on her two husbands like that. Naughty girl she is ...
Let's just hope that Draco won't need too much time to come around the idea. I want to see baby Malfoy number 1 quickly, and I feel it won't happen before the two Malfoys has connected so to speak.
I'm so glad to read about this special family that is close to my heart. I don't like incest to but I'm curious to see how Draco will handle his feelings.
Well done.
Considering the sensitive nature of this chapter, it was well written. Kuddo's Can't wait for the next update.
