Hello all, I am a 53 year old from NZ. Although SSHG is how I started and still my main pairing, I'll give pretty much any pairing a try, whether it be reading or writing. Sev and Herms need a bit of variety at times. ;)
Reviews for Limited Exposure
Sigh, too bad this has to be SSHG. To echo another reviewer, if you keep dangling us off a cliff, I might just have to change my ship for this story. ;) Thank you for another magnificent update. Looking forward to more, and soon.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Thank you. :)
I am as always trilled to see an update to this story, Hermiones letters to Severus were beautifully written, I hope he truly takes his time to read what they actually says and that he also truly remember that Grace wanted him every bit as much as he wanted her, and manage to add this together and see that there is no ploy to humiliate or hurt him. Maybe she should have told him earlier, at least before they made love, but we all know that if she had, he would have sent her away, without listening to her.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Very true. She's hoping to have him trust her motives before she reveals who she is, hence the letters. :)
Phew! Well, those letters are pretty necessary here, aren't they? I imagine Severus would have tossed her out cold upon eventually learning the truth if he hadn't the time now to check his Pensieve (What would Hollywood types with their sex tape scandals do for one of those?) and process her intentions in that letter. Now that he's finally caught on to the tattoo, I think some checking of the school files is in order! Chop, chop, Severus!(Polyjuice? Pretty please?)(Draco and Neville?)
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
LOL. Polyjuice takes a month to brew, and can you imagine Snape lowering himself to buy it from someone else? Draco and Nev, two nice pureblood boys together... ;)
You've addicted me to tuesday mornings as I know there will be a new chapter for my pleasure. Anyway, Severus said he doesn't care to know who she is and just wants her. I can't wait to discover if he'll keep his word.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
I'll try and keep up with that expectation. :D
I am wondering if Severus will ever remember their conversation about 'Grace' going back to school in September after having 'skipped' a year. He seems to have completely overlooked it at this point. He really does have all the clues he needs at this point, doesn't he?
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Shh! Don't remind him. He's in denial! ;)
oh, the tatoo! He's got a clue. And you had me with Zabini. I thought he'd want her for himself and be uber jealous, but he seems sincere. Seems being the operative word here; we're dealing with a Slytherin, after all!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
He's left his run too late though, poor Blaise. :)

wah...no... i cant... waaaaahhhh
Author's Response: You can, and you will. :P
I'm really starting to think I should wait until you get a few chapters done at once so it doesn't end so fast lol. Keep going:)
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
It's always a problem, isn't it? :)
Love this story good to see an update, Hope formore soon. Looking forward to him figuring it out.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Thanks! :)
You'd better hurry and give Severus an obvious clue because the longer we drag this out, the more adorable I am finding Blaise, and thinking that he may not be so bad for Hermione. I am 99.9% sure his intentions are good, so I look forward to her spilling all. But how is he going to help? Will he slip up and "accidentally" call her Grace in front of Severus? Take naked pictures of her and leave them on his desk? Land himself in detention where he has to write lines, and put Grace is Hermione, you idiot over and over?And what is up with Draco and Neville *raises eyebrow* They are cute, whatever it is.I think that with the hair, this is going to turn into a Cinderella story where he goes around the castle trying it on each girls head until he finds one that fits. Didn't think I'd figure that out, did ya?Ok, stop reading reviews and get to writing. *cracks whip*
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
But your reviews are such fun. :D
"...as jumpy as a unicorn around Pansy Parkinson"? What did poor Pansy do to deserve that? No, no, don't answer that, I think I get the picture! Although, if that is the only line she gets in this story, I guess it might be some consolation to her that it is a great line!And you are still dragging it out and keeping us in suspense! I am so impatient, but at the same time I am glad that one of us has some self control, as I think that your tactics are creating an absolutely wonderful story. After all, you could put us out of our misery in a few paragraphs, but where would be the fun in that? I look forward to the next chapter. Impatiently, but, still, looking forward!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
I had to pick on someone, and Pansy was the lucky one! :)
Fine. She wrote him a letter. As Grace! Hermione, you've got to come clean!I do like your Blaise...what is he up to?Oh and Draco's hair is back. Yay!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Draco's hair always deserves a mention. :)
Huh??? Saw what??? Aaaack! There goes my perfect review, straight out the window, all because you had to go and throw a cliffhanger into the mix!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Better luck next time. :D
Ah! So good! But the chapter title is deceiving! lol when I read it was called disocvery I never figured it would be Blaise doing the discovering. Great update :)
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Hehe. That was intentional! :)
Haha at first I thought the thing that he saw in the magazine was a hair like the one he found and was all "uh oh now he is going to go after the wrong girl." And then I read the reviews.Obviously other people are better at figuring things out than I am. While I am rather like Snape. Hmmph.Lovely chapter though! I also am liking Blaise a lot, which says somehting because I am usually not at all interested in Slytherin characters. Or male characters, on that point. I just kinda put up with Snape because he's interesting at least and SSHG fics seem to be the only ones that ever give Hermione an in-depth treatment. And some autonomy from the dreaded family, you know? :)
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
I know what you mean. :)
Can Blaise be trusted? I wonder? Great chapter. Eager for the next update!!! By the way, how many total chapters in this work?
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Um. No idea yet. Usually I run to about 20-22. I'm no epic writer. :)
I need to explain before he figures it out.Yup Hermione I would agree with that. I dont know that taking Blaise into your confidence is going to help...tell Severus the truth so he can get over his stromp and we have the nakkid parts again soon!!!!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Can't I torment them a little longer? Pleeeease? :P
Okay, so he figured out her tattoo was an astrological sign. Next move is up to him. Blaise is a typical Slytherin. I hope Hermione hexes him good! ^_^
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Blaise is well-intentioned. He's finally found someone he's interested enough in to get involved with their life. :)
I just spluttered all over my monitor when I got to the CLIFFIE section hahaha. LOVE it! Can't wait to read the next chap. I love when Slytherins make nice.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Me too. :)
Lovely chapter, so very glad that she wrote him. The letter will help quell his sense of vunerability and insecurity a bit. Also at least they are still writing so they can discover more about each others feelings, and the depth thereof.Your Blaise is lovely, really like to see him develop.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
And Severus can sneakily find out more info from Grace. ;)
So now Severus remembers that Hermione's tattoo is an astrological sign--but will he still not be able to figure it out, even with all that? He's got a hair, he's got the general idea of what time of year she was born, he knows she must be at least a half-blood if not Muggle-born--COME ON ALREADY!I'm a little impatient. Am I wrong for wishing that Blaise could get some action, too? Am I really wrong for thinking about a three-way? Ah, throw Blaise Luna, they'd be a fun couple too. Looking forward to the next chapter!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Not sure Sev is the sharing type. You'll have to wait and see. :)
Oh, you tease! I'm not sure I breathed more than once reading this chapter. And still you continue to deftly manipulate entice us into wanting more more more more. What a lovely reason to suffer oxygen deprivation, though. Thanks!P.S. I'm starting to adore your Blaise.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
He's kind of cute, isn't he? :)
Response from TeaOli (Reviewer)
Dear me, yes. As you write him, he is. Makes me think about doing writing him, myself.
What- what? THE M SYMBOL, WHAT IS IT? DAMMIT, WOMAN! STOP WITH THE CLIFFHANGERS.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
ROFL. Some people have it all worked out. What were they reading? ;)
Response from HermioneJeanSnape (Reviewer)
Alrighty, I figured it out. Now, why on earth would Hermione astrology-is-stupid-and-trelawney-is-a-fraud Granger have an astrological symbol on her?
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Because it's Muggle, and it's a cool symbol. I figure she doesn't believe in Trelawney type Divination, but Muggle astrology is a bit of fun. :)
C'mon, Snape, use that brain of yours and figure it out. Unless you are too busy concocting an antidote to unresolved sexual tension. Or unless Blaise is going to drop more hints your way ...Thanks for another great chapter!
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
He'll get there eventually. If he figured it out too soon I wouldn't be able to tease you all. :P
I've been working on restraint so I have saved up a few chapters to read. Considering how this one ended, I'm rather glad I did.I REALLY like the way you did the sex scene by showing their thoughts. That was a unique way of doing things and still got the point across. And it was rather amusing as well.
Response from sunny33 (Author of Limited Exposure)
Thanks. I'd rather do it that way than describe all the mechanical details ad infinitum. :)
