Ouuuuu this is a good one. I like your tortured Snape

ZOINKS!  Miss McAdams killed him? Great twist at the end I certainly didnt see that coming.

Oh I had not expected the POV of the student. Very curious.

I especiallly love the first chapter.  It functions well as a one shot in and of itself.

I'm a bit confused as to McAdams's motivation in killing him for her war effort, but perhaps I'm supposed to be.

On a technical note, you have a wonderful way with words - I'm jealous!

Also, thank you for being willing to write edgy, dark fic.

I can't wait for more. While I was reading this I was listening to "Just like you imagined." by nin and I have to say, it was amazing reading this and listening to that.

Damn, I've been waiting for someone like you to write what most people wouldn't dare. I LOVE this dark writing, you remind me a bit of Chuck Palahniuk. Very minimalistic. Great.

I've always wondered... is she talking in the literal or metaphorical sense of killing him?

Fabulously well-written, I love how well you depicted Snape's pain in the first chapter. Reffering to Hermione as the "better part" of his soul was very moving to read. I'm keen to know why his student will be murdering him... Update soon!*Jen

This left me feeling a little uncomfortable. But at the same time I really like the way you wrote this. It truly felt detached and broken. I'd love to read more of your work. (Oh, and togsplet, I think you've been misinformed. Hurt is most definately written by Trent Reznor (NIN). Cash did a cover later. Look at the song credits in the booklet of either your NIN or Cash cd to see so for yourself.) 

WOW!  I didn't even realize this was more than a one-shot drabble--excellent writing!  I'll be following this stunner until its end!

the title actually belongs to Johnny Cash. NIN (trent) did the remake in 1994 i believe. but Johnny originally sang it acoustically.

Wow.  Really great writing but so depressing and sad.  I hope he can just follow HG. What a horrible way to live.

Dark, yes, but great! Loved his detachement. 

Woof.  How poignantly unexpected.  Looking forward to more of your stories here!

God fucking damnit (whoa where did that come from?) I am so glad to see you on this site. I hope you will archive the rest of your works here as well... I would love to know exactly where they are.

And as usual I love love love your writing. Slightly halucinogenic and bitter. Thank you. Keep writing. 

You know I have read this story before and enjoyed how it was writtern, not your normal HG/SS story but  just some a tad more darker in nature. This is something i must say i like to see in some stories but i don't see often..i know I am just a sick and werid person. But damn this is writern well.

A great fic!! I felt very pity for him and I cryed a lot. I hope he really stay forever with Hermione... Kisses

Lovely.  Deliciously dark and twisted.  Disturbing, and yet exquisite.

An original and enjoyable read.

I like how this ends, With Severus finally able to die and be with his Hermione.I can see how this would have worked with Hermione dying and Severus in depression allowing the young killer girl to get so near him. Very believable! And very much a SS/HG fic, for its in the past of your fic that the couple where together and thats prolly why I like it so much, because it shows the extent of his feeling for Hermione that now that she is gone he cares not if he were to live or die.v.good!-KarlaMarie

Wow. I don't think you ever uploaded the final chapter in your other archives... and it really does change the feeling of the whole story. I love it.

I meant to say I thought SS and HG were actually having sex while SS was dying, in some "twilight" place.

Loved this but I am a little confused. My take is that it is the real HG and HG having sex but that the young girl has kiilled him. So he and HG are in between life and death and he's with HG as he dies (where they well be together one hopes). A really interesting story.

Well, it always seemed like a true HG/SS to me, albeit an unconventional one. Your comment at the end confused me a bit, though -- did you mean that Hermione was real in the end, and not a memory? Because I was really liking the idea of the anonymous assassin-girl terminating a tortured existence. Sort of like the end of the opera Lulu, where the heroine meets Jack the Ripper with a sense of relief. Anyway, loved the story and the style.
