Fascinating exchange and great poem, thank you.
Response from lady_rhian (Author of From What I've Tasted of Desire)
Thank you! I'm a big fan of Robert Frost, and this poem just struck me as the perfect inclusion.
I really liked this. I like your writing and decided to go back and read some of your older stories that I hadn't read before. I can understand why some readers would want you to continue to write more for this story, however, I like the ending. It leaves it open to our imagination.

Thank you for taking the time to go back and dig through my own pit of voles. :) I am quite fond of this one-shot, though, and I'm glad that you enjoyed it.

oh, finish it! let us see when he comes back to her...please!?! This is my favorite story ever...
Response from lady_rhian (Author of From What I've Tasted of Desire)
Alas, this was written as a one-shot for the Exchange quite a long time ago. I so appreciate your enthusiasm and *blushes* am grateful that this is your favorite story, but I do not have any intention of finishing it. The recipient in the gift exchange asked for an "open" ending, so I gave it to her. Imagine what you will - I give you my permission!
AUGH--You tease! More more more more more!~Lotmthe petulant reader
Response from lady_rhian (Author of From What I've Tasted of Desire)
Tease? I prefer to think... enlightened writer? :) Thanks for always reviewing, dahling. So glad you enjoyed it.

Cute. Funny. Sweet. Romantic. Discretely passionate. Loved it!

Thank you for the lovely compliments. So glad you enjoyed it!
Hello!I can´t believe that Severus was in Lisbon and I did not see him...lolI really liked your story and I think the poem agrees with this relationship. After all, "Fire and Ice" is the part dedicated to Severus and Hermione at the OWL site...Is this staying a one-shot or are you thinking of exploring the possibilities? I wouldn't mind some more... Please?!?!?!xoxo

I didn't know that about the OWL site, but that just makes the allusion all the more fitting! I'm so glad you enjoyed hte story. Alas, the one-shot will stay as is - my recipient in the gift exchange wanted an open ending. :) Thanks for reviewing!
damn, woman...this was intense...hot...I want my own Severus, if he does this...:D (not that I don't already want my own, but still...) I'm boiling and he didn't even touch me. 
Response from lady_rhian (Author of From What I've Tasted of Desire)
Thank you so much! Those are absolutely wonderful compliments, honestly. I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it. And don't we all just want our own Severus to - er - play with? ;)
This is a one-shot? Surely not! It begs for more. You've done a great job developing Hermione's character and I can just picture Severus' return. It's so open-ended that I can see the story going on in a number of different ways.

Those are wonderful compliments; I know that I accomplished what my recipient in the gift exchange wanted, which was, alas, an open ending. My apologies, but it is finished. I am very pleased that you enjoyed it so much. Thank you for leaving a review!
What a sweet and well written story! It really sets the imagination on overdrive.

Thank you so much for the compliments, m'dear! I'm so glad that it set your imagination on overdrive... it certainly sent mine spiraling that way a few times. :)
v good. Love the eloquence of Hermione's thoughts, and all the wonderful little details, like the coffe mugs contrasting against the counter.

Alas, the one-shot is currently staying as is... my recipient for the gift exchange requested an open ending and I am glad to know that I have done the job well, although it's to the frustration of many readers! I am so glad that you enjoyed the story. Thanks for leaving a note!
well written, I enjoyed it. Good blend of snark and fluff

I know it was a challange and there had to be sexual tension and an open ending, but I would have given a 5 if they would have had passionate sex before he left or there would have been a chapter 2 with passionate sex and then she leaves for a conference or job, until the next time. If he had at least given her an R rated stirring I could have given it a 5. You did a great job at showing restraint. 
It's a great first chapter! It's totally a 5 if it had been a first chapter with more than just tention down the road.
I can live with this type of open ending no matter how many steamy chapters might have ensued because it's open to more and Hermione remains the super star alpha female who doesn't give up her super star life style to settle down to have over rated babies. 
So after some reflection, I have changed it to a 5 because of the open ending that didn't leave me unsatisfied. Having been around the block a few times, I know that even meeting for passionate love making and good company as they pass each other, Hermione would still get more sex and adult converstation than if she married him and had babies. She also gets to keep her sexy body and has time to shave her legs!
It's a 5!
Darn it. Why didn't he show up sooner. If she'd been home that long, he could have come sooner and given them time. LOL. Nicely done.

*chuckles* Thank you! I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Have you ever thought of continuing this one? Seems like a second smutty chapter would be just the thing! I have read this one before, and the reread was just as fun, thank you
Response from lady_rhian (Author of From What I've Tasted of Desire)
Thank you so much. :) This is one of my favorites. Alas, there will be no smutty chapter, but I am so pleased with how this piece of UST has been received.
