A Treatise On The Healing Properties of Murtlap

Severus Snape returns from the war a shadow of the wizard he was. Hermione Granger returns from the war restless and yearning to taste life in all its flavours. What happens when the proverbial irresistible force meets the immovable object? Told to the tune of Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses.

Very well written. Sensuous, erotic and beautiful. Wish I had a male in my life to make love to me like this. ;)
Response from TeddyRadiator (Author of A Treatise On The Healing Properties of Murtlap)
Thank you for your kind words! 
and once again, you've made me cry at the ending, and I don't even have the excuse of being pregnant and hormone-riddled now. :( such a sad yet happy ending.
Response from TeddyRadiator (Author of A Treatise On The Healing Properties of Murtlap)
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Murtlap is one of my personal favourites - I'm always so thrilled when someone likes it.
I've read this before on another site, and loved it. time to read it again, since it popped up in my search. I was sorry to hear about Norton, too. :(
Response from TeddyRadiator (Author of A Treatise On The Healing Properties of Murtlap)
Thank you - I have always felt sad about Norton myself.
Well, that was a fun run! I have read many of your stories since my last review and I can only say, "Brava!" Each was different, interesting, hot, and loving in their own ways. You are a very good writer and I hope to read more of your work soon! Thank you for every syllable! HG4eva

Thank you for your kind words. I am so glad this story brought your pleasure and joy. It is a privilege and a calling for me to write, and a privilege to know others have enjoyed what I have written.Thank you for your lovely comment. It means so very much to me.
So sad and yet such a happy ending at the same time. Amazing for Severus to be gifted with such a long life and to finally know happiness.
Response from TeddyRadiator (Author of A Treatise On The Healing Properties of Murtlap)
That's why I keep writing fanfic. I want him to finally have a happy ending!

That was definitely unexpected. I like how the vial has become a running joke in their relationship.

I'm sure this will rank as his bet day ever.

I think there is definite healing and nice to see him thinking about her, too. I just wonder when the OMG did we really just do that? Will kick in
Response from TeddyRadiator (Author of A Treatise On The Healing Properties of Murtlap)
Well I'm sure it will soon. Probably right before the 'OMG let's do it again' kicks in.

Poor Severus and his initial performance. I'm sure he'll do better later
Response from TeddyRadiator (Author of A Treatise On The Healing Properties of Murtlap)
Well, poor guy... it has been a loooong time..

Well that's one way to snap him out of his funk. Wonder what happens next and if this can be kept secret
Response from TeddyRadiator (Author of A Treatise On The Healing Properties of Murtlap)
Men are so easy to get out of a funk! ;)

After the strong emotions of the earlier chapters, this epilogue is painfully sad to read but it doesn't balance the whole fic so well. I'm a bit sniffy now, even having read this so often before 
Response from TeddyRadiator (Author of A Treatise On The Healing Properties of Murtlap)
I really wanted to bookend the two 'boys'. Norton, whom he so related to, and himself, the lost boy that just wanted someone to love and take care of him. Young Severus brings out every protective instinct, and knowing Hermione, the comparison of Norton and Severus was not lost on him. He found his first and his last comfort in Hermione.

With an elaborate swish and wave of his wand, bright lights sparked over the entire Great Hall, causing shouts of surprise and squeals of delightShow off! Still, you're not going to say no when someone asks like that"

Hey, what good is having the ability to do magic if you're not prepared to show off a little ;)

"Mine. Say it,” he pleaded. His eyes were enormous and nakedly vulnerable. “Claim me.” Love!

Would that we all could! ;)

Yeah, the smut is impressive, but it's the emotion in this piece that gets me every time. His reaction to the simplest of her touches is just... gah. Gah, I tell you!
Response from TeddyRadiator (Author of A Treatise On The Healing Properties of Murtlap)
Thank you so much. I really do have a soft spot for this fic. It's sort of a PWP that grew legs and ran away.

This chapter would have been a few short lines in any other fic - I love that you can draw something like this out until it becomes almost a story in its own right. So incredibly erotic and she's only undone a few buttons. Genius.
Response from TeddyRadiator (Author of A Treatise On The Healing Properties of Murtlap)
Uh oh, is this a really sweet way of hinting that Im long-winded? LOL Thank you - I really had an indecent amount of fun with this fic.

Possible the hottest literary kiss ever. *nods*
Response from TeddyRadiator (Author of A Treatise On The Healing Properties of Murtlap)
Thank you!!! A good kiss is as much fun to write as good sex, I think!

Snape's reaction to seeing her with Norton is so intense that it makes the hairs on the back of my neck prickle.
Response from TeddyRadiator (Author of A Treatise On The Healing Properties of Murtlap)
Thank you. This scene came complete into my head - I barely could keep up with the Muse typing it! ;)

This epilogue brought tears to my eyes. I love your stories, and this one is no exception. The journey from reluctant survivor to beloved husband and father never ceases to warm my heart and make me glad.Thank you for this love story. It has the Teddy-touch like only you can do.Hugs you, BethPS-Go Teddy Peeps!

Thank you so much, Beffey - you and the 'Teddy Peeps' are my lifeline - and I am so grateful to be surrounded by such incredible, nurturing, encouraging friends like yourself. Thank you for helping me to believe that I can write.

Minerva's reaction to catching them in the middle of "things," cracked me up, as did her advice to learn to use Disillusionment and Notice-me-not charms, and her reference to Leonard Cohen (I love that man's music!).Ten points to your House for Severus' brilliant proposal to Hermione. *applauds like crazy* You write great SSHG!!!Beth

“You smell like Amortensia, you have the nastiest laugh in Wizarding Britain, and I could look into your eyes for the rest of my life and never get bored of what I saw... And most of all, you make me want to crawl into your pocket and stay there forever.” This. This is what it's all about. Finding that perfect place where both of you are not only where you want to be, but where you have to be. Home. Together.

When they both found what they needed, it just seem to all fall into place - Thank you for your lovely comment!

That was a helluva first step in their journey. I do believe Hermione is well on her way to rescuing Severus (and herself) from the lives that were left to them as a result of the war. *fans self* 
Well done, Teddy!Beth
