nicely done but yes foolish of not thinking of the biggest consequence.

Wow!  What an emotional roller coaster!  And you managed it without making her pregnant and paranoid.  Great job!

Ohhhhh, so so sweet, melancholy but well resolved. Bravo!

I just reread this from the link from WIKTT, and I wanted to say that you've certainly begun to learn the storycraft.  It really is a delight to read, and I hope your muse is pleased.

silly severus to take hermione for granted while trying to give her a wonderful suprise.  men!

Ohhh, I loved this story... Well done. Cheers, Sonia

I liked it!  I went from sadness to indignation to hope to relief to happiness just by reading this story. 

Lovely one shot. Thank you for writing and I hope you continue in the genre

Nifty take on your exchange prompt!  I very much enjoyed this story.  Obviously, it was clear that somehow Hermione misunderstood what was happening, but you did a great job building up the "real" details without either too much angsty pain or too much overblown mushiness (a/k/a fluff).  Great read!

I got all teary eyed!   So good intentions can get bad results.

That was lovely.  I truly enjoyed Hermione's memories interspersed with current, packing information at the beginning of the story.

Severus was lovely to do that for her, but my heart ached as I read of the "Silk" place where people could go to ease their sorrow.

I even pitied Pansy!  You have a marvelous talent for expressing sadness and emotions akin to that throughtout your story.  Beautiful.

There was one bit of con. crit.  I had: "No, Severus, you are an Occlumens, and there is no way to detect if you blocking me..."

Should that be "...if YOU'RE blocking me..." ?

All in all, lovely job!

You know, for a while there I thought you were trying to rip my heart out, and then whoosh. All better.

Beautifully written.  I cried too!  Liked that Crooks had it right but at least Severus learned a needed lesson...and Hermione too.

How wonderfully tender. (I've tears in my eyes as I type).  I'm so happy that they could save their marriage.  How apt that as the years go on couples forget that relationships need to be nourished.  I love how Snape turned down Jasmine - quite gratifying for Hermione.  Bravo!!

You are a brilliant storyteller.  I have a question.  Was the fact that Severus planted faults memories inside his head, to fool Voldemort, canon?  I really don't remember if it was.  Either way, Hermione should have kept that in mind when sneaking a look.

WOW... I can't even think of anything to say... wonderful!

What a great atory!! Thnks!

That's what you get from not communicating! Talk about Men are from Mars..
