Welcome to my world of (largely) erotic exploration of the human condition. (Well, that's one way of putting it anyway ...)
My writing is largely rated NC-17 and, as you will see, contains a lot of explicit detail. But I cannot write without developing believable characters, largely in canon (at least as a starting point), whose behaviour is established through dialogue and tangible situations. I adore these characters and tend to write from the inside out, getting inside their heads and simply letting them talk (and act ...). Yes, there is a lot of sex, but I hope my characters' sexuality enables them, and us, to discover deeper aspects of their personalities.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO FRIEND ME ON LJ WHERE MY USERNAME IS LAURIELOVER1912. YOU CAN ALSO FIND ME ON FACEBOOK (LAURIELOVE).
My favourite pairings are Hermione/Lucius and Hermione/Severus, but I have written for various other couples and situations.
I have recently started writing original works which have, fortunately, been picked up by publishers. If you are interested in my original work, my penname is Demelza Hart.
I love establishing a dialogue with my readers. Please feel free to contact me with comments, suggestions, criticism, anything. I look forward to hearing from you!
In the meantime ... enjoy!

I'm impressed, very impressed even. You build up a highly sensual atmosphere without mentioning anything remotely sexual. Also you bring out a depth of personality in a character that has been portrayed fairly one-dimensional in canon (and in a lot of fanfiction). And even though you kept the point of view with Lucius, you pulled in Hermione's state of mind through the care Lucius experiences. Very well done.

Thank you so much for your very kind words. This sums up what I had hoped to achieve with this story, which is all I can ask really. x
I loved this story. I could imagine the scene very clearly. She could sense their similar situations, I'm sure the idea of killing him crossed her mind, but she didn't seriously entertain it for a moment. She is not a murderer. And Lucius could feel that in her, that inner dignity. She would never stoop so low.

You have summed it up beautifully. Thank you. x
Wow! Very powerful. I can't wait to see Hermione's POV. ... and perhaps a romance/happy-ending?
Response from laurielove (Author of Touch)
Thank you! We shall see ... x
Wow. I don't care much for Lucius, so anytime someone writes him in a way that forces me to like him I consider it a huge accomplishment. This was truly a sensual piece and nothing felt out of place about the situation or their characters. I do hope you decide to post something from Hermione's POV.

Thank you! Glad I could win you round to Lucius a little, especially as he is very much like this in DH. A lot of fics have him quite far from his canon self. I am pleased this one is relatively compliant. x
This is perfect! It's a realistic look at Lucius -- wandless in his own home, subject to his sister-in-law's whims, powerless prisoner. From this scene, it is obvious why Hermione might defend him in post-war trials... and why she might even end up with Lucius. Fantastic! Thanks for posting this.

Thank you so much. x
I really like your vision of this scene that was inspired by Isaac's portrayal of Lucius in DH Part 1. It adds so much to the story without taking anything away, and I can see how it fits into the flow. It's very sensual and I hope you will post a "sister story" from Hermione's POV.Beth

Thank you!I would like to post a story from H's pov soon . x
As you said - very sensual, and maybe Hermione restored some of Lucius' humanity with her touch
