I'm a dabbler in poetry and fiction, and I simply adore Severus Snape and my favorite ship is SS/HG. I love to read and travel and fanfiction is my escape from the mundane!!
Reviews for True Love's Kiss
This was a nifty little story! I would love to see some more of what happened when Severus got to the coastal cottage. But the most important part happened- they lived happily ever after. I read some of your replies to other reviewers, and I know all about strict timetables, m'dear. Someone once said that the perfect is the enemy of the good. You got 'er done, and it is very good!!!Hugs to Shell,Beth

Thanks, Beth~ you know I am harder on myself than any reviewer, but one does what one must do! Thanks so much for your words and friendship!! Hugs to you!
Oh, my achin' head. When will Severus learn to not strike out at people who are trying to help him? Has he forgotten what Hermione did to Portkey them to her parent's backyard?I hope Hermione will go back and put her memories n the Pensieve and pester Severus until he agrees to view them, too.I swear, he is the most exasperating man in the world... and that's probably one reason we love him so much. :^)Beth

We DO love his snarky, bad-boyness! Hope you are ready for the rest of the ride!
Yes! Soul mates. And I recall that one of the reasons Severus had come back to Hogwarts was that he needed the Headmaster's Pensieve!Now I hope Hermione can figure out how to convince Severus to trust her and work with her to undo what Voldemort had done! This is such an interesting story, shell! Thank you for sharing it with us.Beth

Severus - Trust... we shall see, my friend, we shall see!
I totally love this connection Hermione and Severus have to each other. I wonder how they are going to work out what is happening to them, and how to reactivate her memory so that she know who he is? I think I'd like to have a bit of sit'n read with that pamphlet Dreames Between the Soules. Beth
Response from sandlapper (Author of True Love's Kiss)
That DOES sound like a fascinating tome, eh? Thanks for reading!!
I enjoyed the story up to the last chapter. The jump from disaster to an epilogue-like happy ending was very jaring. I can't say I was really satisfied with the wrap-up. In any case, thanks for sharing.
Response from sandlapper (Author of True Love's Kiss)
Glad you read it! And thanks for reviewing. I was on a strict timetable, and unfortunately, trying to flesh it out made it either extremely unwieldy and unreadable or just complete bushwah. I chose to go with the more simplistic ending...
The internet ate my comments the first time, so I'm going to just say "I love this story!"Beth
Response from sandlapper (Author of True Love's Kiss)
Thank you, Beth!
I like it, but the last jump in time left me feeling like the chapter was uploaded wrong or something. It was such a jump, maybe it's just me but it didn't feel right, as if it still needs more to segue the two parts together. Anyways, I still liked it overall, the concept of the curse is one I haven't seen before. :)
Response from sandlapper (Author of True Love's Kiss)
Thanks for reading and reviewing! I never could get the last part to really flesh out seamlessly... it wouldn't resolve itself no matter how I approached it. I chose to move from Severus' epiphany to a small wrap up.
"...the last thing that Hermione saw after they landed was a flare of blue light, and then everything went black."OMG! Did the blue curse Voldemort cast at Snape have anything to do with the flare of blue light that Hermione saw when they landed in her parents' backyard? Did it have anything to do with her losing her memory and with what the Dark Lord said to Severus just before he cast his curse? "Rest assured, Severus, remembering is ALL you will have for eternity!"And just where the hell did Severus get to? Please tell me he isn't just planning on leaving her there by herself? Well, now I have somewhere to go, too. The next chapter!Beth
Response from sandlapper (Author of True Love's Kiss)
So glad you are reading!! Hope you enjoy the rollercoaster!
Great first chapter!!! I love the phoenix hair clip cum Portkey, and I've got to see how many of my questions will be answered in the next chapter... and the ones after that.Beth
Response from sandlapper (Author of True Love's Kiss)
I like the idea of useful jewelry, myself! Maybe you will have ,ore questions with your answers!! Thanks for reading, Beth!
Great story I am sorry to see it end looking forward to a new story soon.
Response from sandlapper (Author of True Love's Kiss)
Thank you so much! Hopefully, I will have something new ready soon, I have several things in the works. Glad you enjoyed my story.
It's a pity we didn't get to see the kiss that broke the spell on Severus, but all's well that ends well. Thank you for a lovely story.
Response from sandlapper (Author of True Love's Kiss)
Thanks for reading! I may have to revisit the story and share that kiss with everyone in the future!!
Oh Severus, you will live to regret for those unkind words, hell may have no fury like a woman scorned, but Hermione does.
Response from sandlapper (Author of True Love's Kiss)
Thanks for reading and reviewing! Severus really doesn't know when NOT to cross a line... but I think he has met his match in Hermione!
Okay, those were horribly mean things to say to her. But I have to admit I laughed a little at 'no more my soul mate than Hagrid'. Now I'm afraid I have the beginnings of a ridiculous humor fic running through my head where Hagrid is doused with love potion and tries to woo an unsuspecting...somebody. Anyway, sorry for the strange aside; I am finding the story quite enjoyable.
Response from sandlapper (Author of True Love's Kiss)
Severus does tend to lash out, doesn't he? And I SOOO hope you will write that fic, I could see him fawning over Trelawney or McGonagall!! Thanks for the review, we are getting on to the end, so hang on tight!
Hmmm, the plot thickens...Looking forward to more.
Response from sandlapper (Author of True Love's Kiss)
It is going to get REAL interesting for sure! Thanks for reading.
What a shock for Hermione, and what is Albus up to. Looking forward to the next update.
Response from sandlapper (Author of True Love's Kiss)
Thank you! More is on the way!
I'm so happy Hermione was able to find that Pensieve. Now she knows who Severus is, and that they're soul mates. I look forward to seeing what she does with that new found knowledge. Will she confront Severus, and let him know she remembers him, or will she be in denial.
Response from sandlapper (Author of True Love's Kiss)
Two stubborn people being led by a master manipulator! It is one bumpy ride! Thanks for reading!
Oh Harry. Why? Then again I'm not surprised. I wish we could have see Hermione's conversation with the Weasleys.. Interested in how this story will go. The phoenix clip is intriguing and how did Hermione get her memory of Severus back or did she?
Response from sandlapper (Author of True Love's Kiss)
Harry does speak before he thinks! I am glad you are intrigued, more is on the way!

She should have slapped them silly. I'm glad she found out before she wasted any more of her time. So now let the games begin. Its going to be a bumpy road for awhile I think. Looking forword to the ups and downs.

Oh, you know that our faves can't have an easy time of it!! I have often thought that Harry and Ron could use a good smack! Thanks for reading!

What happened? we were in the Granger's garden, and then a year has passed and Hermione and Harry are having a row! Did I skip a chapter? Very interesting, and a good chapter, but confusing, what happened with Hermione's memory loss?
Response from sandlapper (Author of True Love's Kiss)
No, you didn't miss anything! More answers and questions are on the way!!

“He rose up from the prone position he found himself in…” If Severus was prone, he would have awakened to a view of the ground underfoot, not the clouds overhead. The word you want is “supine.”
Response from sandlapper (Author of True Love's Kiss)
Thanks...
Response from sandlapper (Author of True Love's Kiss)
Thanks...
Interesting development there. Wonder if the old codger had anything to do with that? I wonder how long until guilt comes over Severus and he realizes he can't just leave her to see if someone finds her?

Enjoyed your story so far--I'm sold. Kinda wish I hadn't started it so early in, being terribly impatient to read on, but still am very happy to have picked it up all the same :)
Response from sandlapper (Author of True Love's Kiss)
Thanks you very much!! I will post the chapters as quickly as they will queue them! Thanks for reading!

Well, that was ... I'm not sure. Snape was hit with a spell and Hermione has the effects. Interesting.
Response from sandlapper (Author of True Love's Kiss)
It IS a little dizzying! Never fear, things will get interesting soon enough! Thanks for reading!
