“So I’m not getting laid?” She smirked. “Not tonight.”***Nice touch, and nice ending line. :)

Response from lady_rhian (Author of Redemption & Brandy)

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

EverMystique

I love to pick favorite lines from chapters, books, etc. This one is very well said:She’d seen the pain in his eyes. And she had known he was not one of them. Very poignant. Nicely done.

Response from lady_rhian (Author of Redemption & Brandy)

Thank you!

Atta girl, Hermione!  I'm so glad that your incarnation of her had the good sense even while drunk to wait until they could both give conscious consent.  And of course, Severus talking about 'getting laid-' the sheer hilarity of that image, never hurts.

Response from lady_rhian (Author of Redemption & Brandy)

Thank you! I'm very glad that you enjoyed the story.

Ooooh! Snape's on a promise! Probably all for the best as one or both might drown in their inebriated state. Thanks for the tease. Congrats again on your SSHG nomination!

Response from lady_rhian (Author of Redemption & Brandy)

Thank you! The nomination is such an honor; I don't count myself anywhere near the caliber of some of the authors I was nominated with. But thank you for the compliments and for coming over to read!...as a note, I am of the opinion that drunken sex is never a good idea. Sober is much better. *nod nod*

Wow! I totally missed out on this piece! Thank heavens you were nominated for an SSHG Award. I can't wait to check out the bathroom...

Response from lady_rhian (Author of Redemption & Brandy)

Indeed! Thanks for coming over here to look, m'dear! *hugs*

I absolutely adore this ending!  Lovely series.

Thanks so much. :)

Rhi, I pressed "Random Story" and was directed to this gem!  I know I must have reviewed them on GS100, but, this is a lovely series and I'm happy to read it again.

Response from lady_rhian (Author of Redemption & Brandy)

Too funny! Yes, I am quite fond of this piece and I'm attached to it... I'm sure you reviewed at the gs100, but it's always good to reread. :) Thanks, hon!

What a lovely set of drabbles! But it cannot be the end. Please, please, please some more. Does begging work? Mind you the end did work very well - I should add that bit.

Response from lady_rhian (Author of Redemption & Brandy)

Thank you so much for the compliments. :) I'm still debating whether or not to add to the story - I like where it ends now, but people seem desperate for more. We'll see how it goes, and thank you for dropping me a line!

ancientgirl

LOL, I loved this.  Great ending.

Response from lady_rhian (Author of Redemption & Brandy)

Thank you! :) Glad you enjoyed it.

Response from ancientgirl (Reviewer)

I know you said this was a two part story, but did you plan for more?  If not, like I said, its a wonderful ending which hints to them establishing something in the future.

Response from lady_rhian (Author of Redemption & Brandy)

As of right now, I won't be writing another sequel to it, as I'm focusing on wrapping up my long HG/SS tale Dark Roast. However, when that is done, I may return to this and write a few smutty drabbles for a sequel. :) We'll have to wait and see!

Response from ancientgirl (Reviewer)

No worries.  As I said, it worked very nicely the way you ended it.  LOL, its just that pervy section in my brain that was hoping for more.

--WAAAAHHH  I'm not getting the rest of this fanfic tonight, either!!*pout!*~Lotm

Response from lady_rhian (Author of Redemption & Brandy)

My sincere apologies! I think I'll be leaving it as is ... leave it open to the imagination. That said, all of you are pretty randy and demanding a sequel ... Thank you for the review, lotm!

Response from ladyofthemasque (Reviewer)

WHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII*gaspsforbreath,increasespitchandvolume*IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGE!!*was hoping to vibrate a few of your windows and/or stemware, there, as a threat that they could be broken, instead...*~Lotm;-D

Response from lady_rhian (Author of Redemption & Brandy)

You're all so wonderfully randy and impossible ... I'll make you a promise. If I'm ever in the mood to write Hermione!Snape!Smut!, it's going on the end of this chapter. :) Part three, yes?

Response from ladyofthemasque (Reviewer)

*gives you a blank, uncomprehending stare*  You're...you're...NOT in the mood to write SS/HG!Smut??--Inconceivable!~Lotm

Response from lady_rhian (Author of Redemption & Brandy)

Honestly, I've never written anything more than a passionate kiss. When I read other writers' smut, I feel woefully inadequate...

Response from ladyofthemasque (Reviewer)

*snort*  Nonsense!  We ALL felt that way in the beginning!  (And yes, I most definitely and solidly include myself in that early-inadequacy feeling.)The question isn't so much can you write good smut, as can you a) write what you have experienced (and in this, it's just like writing any other scene; it helps to have personal experience, or a really, truly vivid imagination and a helluva lot of book knowledge), and b) have you ever had a great or at least really good sexual/sensual experience, before?...b) is what stumps most writers, to tell the sorry truth.  I've been lucky; I've had some great encounters as well as lousy, mediocre and good ones.If you haven't had a great or really good experience yet, may I suggest hiring the acquaintance of a BOB*?  These stalwart souls are always ready to perform at a lady's behest, and they never have headaches, rarely quit before you're ready to quit yourself, and are easy maintenance.  (No whinging about "...but the game is on right now, honey!")  Though they all come with the same surname of BOB, they come from a very large and diversified family.  Some are true specialists, others are generalists.  Some perform single tasts, while others perform several, including certain multitasking capabilities....Heck, even if you have a regular boyfriend, there's nothing wrong, shameful, or sinful in acquiring the occasional company of your very own BOB!~Lotm*Batter-Operated Boyfriend...though cyberBOB runs on USB-port computer power!  *grin*

Response from lady_rhian (Author of Redemption & Brandy)

A delightfully entertaining response! :)I think that learning to write smut is very much like learning "that" - it might be bad and stilted at first, but you learn. You learn what works and what doesn't. What gets good responses, and what you can stop doing. I think I'll just have to weed my way through bad writing before I hit on the good writing. It's good to know that everyone starts out the same way, though. It seems like some people just have a gift! -LR

Response from ladyofthemasque (Reviewer)

Nahh...  To quote Pearle (of Dances fame), "An overnight success takes 20 years to get there."~Lotm(I've carefully hidden my earliest attempts at must in compost heaps and recycling centers throughout the region, trust me.)

 I really really hope you are not ending this here!!! Brilliant! I really enjoyed this!

Response from lady_rhian (Author of Redemption & Brandy)

Thank you! I think that this is all I'll right for this idea. The drabbles tend to inspire me to work on my current long fic, Dark Roast (also HG/SS). So I'm working on finishing that right now. Thanks for the lovely review!

Very Cute. I do think he should have 'shown her what she's missing' though.

Response from lady_rhian (Author of Redemption & Brandy)

Good idea. I might pull off a sequel, just for you. :)

You, my dear, have a knack for suspense. 

I do love grangersnape100.  They always inspire so many wonderful drabbles and drabble-series.  And they're fun to do.  After my vacation, I'll have to get back in the swing of things over there.

Response from lady_rhian (Author of Redemption & Brandy)

Thank you! :) I know - I am entirely too addicted to grangersnape100. I look forward to seeing your drabbles over there!

harrypotterfan2005

you should make a sequel to this with hermione and severus making love. in his tub and his bed.

Response from lady_rhian (Author of Redemption & Brandy)

LOL. As tempting as that is, I'm not the best smut writer in the world. Although now that I think about it, I might have to cook something up for you. Thanks for reviewing. :)

Oh, I enjoyed this! Good for Hermione, though, taking up the invitation but on her own terms - waiting until they're both sober does sound like a much more sensible idea.

Response from lady_rhian (Author of Redemption & Brandy)

Yes, I think sober sex is preferable. I am very pleased that you liked the series! :-) Thanks for leaving a review!

LMAOIs there a part 3? where he actually *does* get laid??:)  Good luck w/ the awards!

Response from lady_rhian (Author of Redemption & Brandy)

Alas, there is not. I'll leave that up to everyone's lascivious imaginations... Thank you for the well wishes!

I'm reading through the ss_hg awards list, and I recall that this is one of my favourites! Oh, voting is going to be so hard! :(

Author's Response: Thank you, dear! I have not started my re-reading yet... waiting for my laptop to get fixed. *grr* I'll be sending in my votes late, I think. Thank you for taking the time to re-read, though! It is very appreciated. :-)

And the best line of the whole drabble series! The last two of course:“So I’m not getting laid?”She smirked. “Not tonight.”

Response from lady_rhian (Author of Redemption & Brandy)

I'm rather fond of them myself. :-) *glomps*
