When I'm not toiling for coin or occupied with family and friends, I'm a reader, a writer, and an occasional beta. I left the fandom shortly after the fall of Granger Enchanted. I haven't written any fic since then, but I've recently been lurking around fic archives more often and reading my old favorites. I've also been writing and publishing original novels, poetry, and news articles while leading a semi-vagabond, fully-marvelous life. I'm still on Live Journal sometimes, Maria_lynette, the Wasted Wordsmith.
NOTE: My stories aren't loading on TPP since the site came back for some reason, but I've archived my best revised fics on AO3 as Wasted Wordsmith. Most of my other fics are still archived at ff.net and/or LJ if anyone's reading this and interested in reading or rereading them.

Haha! Thanks!
Well this is certainly unique, and while I do find the adultery aspect, from both sides, dissaproving, the intimacy and tenderness is lovely.Sadly, though I like Ron, he can be quite childish and selfish and, again, sadly, I could see him being neglectful of his wife, whome ever she was.A tender and sweet little story. 
Response from Maria Lynette (Author of Sleep Alone Tonight)
Yeah, it is my belief that adultery, like so many other popular ideas in romances, is only sexy in fiction. Thanks for reading. :)
A rare and special intimacy shared between them, and their understanding of each other and the reassurance of being cherished and appreciated in such a circumstance is so well done - love how Arthur is well aware of Hermione's needs in such a loving manner, and how she trusts him with those needs!
Response from Maria Lynette (Author of Sleep Alone Tonight)
Thank you. I love rare pairs! ;)
I like this, life is complicated and good stories don't wash over that.
Response from Maria Lynette (Author of Sleep Alone Tonight)
:) Thanks.
Although the pairing is a bit bizarre, it was extremely well written and intriguing. Thanks for writing!

Thanks for reading! :)
I really want to not like them together, but the few times that I have read them I always get sucked in. I always hate stories where people want to be together, but they can't so they just live with it, forever repressing their longing. Strangely enough, in this story, I kind of like that they didn't throw caution to the wind (well, they did for a fleeting moment) and ruin their family. I think they have established that he is important and appreciated and that she is cherished and loved. Every time the flowers come, they will be reminded of that, as well as this new special bond between them, and that just might be enough.

YES! That's it! Thank you.
Wow, that was deliciously wrong! Thank you.
