Aw, man!! Puddles!!! the saddest part for me was the thing w the floo call. y'see, my foster grandpappy died last month and I still want to call him, when I hear a joke he would have liked.The hardest about a loved one dying is the staying behind. They are just not accessible anymore. We will see them again, but is such an awful long time for us till then.I needed a good cry like that apparently.Thank you so much for sharing and for understanding how it is. Hugs!!

Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Fade)

I'm happy this gave you some kind of comfort. It's so hard for us indeed to move on and be without. ~hugs~

Wow, now I'm actually crying. You should have put 'you'll need tissues' in the warning.... Really well done.

This was such a powerful piece. Very sad… had me in tears. It was also very beautiful, though. The realization of what Severus did for her, what he knew would happen, that he had experienced the same pain she had. Wow. And all the emotions you described are so terribly realistic. I'm glad the story ended with her being able to love again. Wonderful story.

This was beautiful and sad and I can hardly stop crying long enough to type this. Thank you. I needed that.

Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Fade)

Thanks for reading. Sometimes a little cry does help. I usually write something to get my feelings out (which is how this story came about). :) Cheers.

Better late than never, eh?

I have just listened to you read this and wanted to let you know much I love it. So true to grief - beautifully bittersweet. I'm actually too touched to write much right now.

I actually have tears rolling down my face, and my throat is all tight. Nice going. I don't even cry over my own life anymore. But this really hit me hard. I'm not sure why.

This story was rec'd to me by a friend and I have to say it was probably one of the sweetest, most hearbreaking things I have ever read. I can't even express the emotions I felt reading this and I won't try. I think you know.

So, I will say thank you for writing this. Thank you for sharing it. I feel honored to have read it.

This was very moving. You perfectly captured the stages of grief through Hermione's thoughts. Victor calming her was my undoing - there I felt my throat swell and tears sprung to my eyes.**Applauds** You know you have a talent for writing emotions.You have a talent for writing in general, but emotions ... you really get the reader when you write emotions.

I'm glad I decided to check your story out. Lovely piece, even though it broke my heart to read it.

I've enjoyed a fair few of your stories but sometimes while I liked the tale the writing didn't flow for me, or perhaps sometimes it seemed a little childish. Libertine and Luring the Enchantress spring to mind. I don't know what it is, I certainly don't pretend to be an expert. Anyway, what I wanted to say was that this piece is different. The writing is beautiful and you have captured the emotions perfectly. Thank you

Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Fade)

Ah, "Libertine" needs editing, as it was my second posted story. I've never gotten around to it. "Luring the Enchantress" is likely one of my favorites of all my stories, and I think more popular with most readers. I don't know if you are calling me childish (the plot idea) or the characters, but I purposely write characters a specific way each time--especially young Hermione (Harry, etc.). So be it though. It's hard to please everyone each time. That's something I've mostly stopped attempting to do.And I never try to use any fancy prose or try to be too ambiguous. I like plain writing, not too much description, want to know what's going on while I'm reading, etc. I just write how I like to read, not liking the stories where you have to guess at what you've just read. Aside from that great, public insult, I do appreciate your comments on this story, which uses the same old writing style as always, and truly am happy that you enjoyed it. I feel that this piece is different because it deals with death and real life issues while my other stories are more of the happier ilk and call for a little suspension of disbelief.Luckily for me, most people do enjoy my writing style, including the experts. *wink*

Response from Indith (Reviewer)

I am sorry, I don't mean to insult and I mean it when I say I have enjoyed your work and I dare say will continue to do so.

Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Fade)

OH, that's all right. I'm past that, doll. Don't worry about it one bit. I'll not stop writing. :)

This story jumped right up among my top 5 favorite HG/SS stories. Many kudos to you and your ability to tap the human emotion. I read this story because of the recommendation and said to myself, "It can't be that emotional, can it?" and started out bravely enough. By the middle of the story, I could feel my throat swell and by the end, I was bawling. It is a beautiful story and I agree with you that every once in a while, I need a good purge of emotion. Thank you for writing this.

Powerful and incredibly wrenching. Geez, I think I need some anti-depressants... Perhaps I should go read something really fluffy as an antidote. Great Job.
