Tea. Of all the things that could breach lifetimes of emotional depletion and abuse, hurt for dead lovers and majestic detachment, tea would be the solution. Well, the essence of tea. Very English. I love it for both its absurdity and reality. 

Hmm.. Kind of an odd story- very original- but odd. I think its one of those stories I'll have to reread to be sure I've gotten all from it I can, make sure there aren't things I missed the first read through. Anyways, thank you for sharing your work with us. :)

thank u for the quick easy read. just what I needed on a night I couldn't sleep!

hugs and chocolate!

I got so behind on the exchange, I'm simply adoring having the fics show up here now to tempt me. I can tell already I'm going to love this one :o)

interesting to learn what cvan be going on in the "loveroom". I like your Hermione and Severus. I thought it to be finished but am happy to see there must be more as we have not yet met Hagrid.

I definitely think I've read this before; it's got a red check next to it. I don't remember it but that's ok, I loved reading it again. Will there be more to this story (i saw it's a work in progress?). I really like it how it ends her though. Thank you for sharing it with us.

I feel like ive read this before, but I don't think I have? I don't know. Anyways, I really liked this first chapter; its good to see both characters getting closure of sorts. 

awwww!!! wonderful thank you!!

hugs and chocolate!!!!

Such an unconventional story which is part of what I love about it.  This holds up very well the second time through, and probably more.

Ugh!  How very traumatic.  Two brilliant people in an unprecedented circumstance.  I'd worry, but I know what happens.  Still a little heart-breaking, even so.

I loved this story from the exchange, and it was definitely worth a reread.  This is a brilliant concept, and there is a dynamic between Severus and Hermione that is not their norm.  But, in a good way.

I really liked "trying to be retired" ... Thank you.

wow!

Hey, good start, but you should add a warning of major character death. It was hard to start when I discovered Ron was dead.
