I am a longtime fanfic fanatic, having entered the realm via Buffydom.  One day I read a Willow/Severus crossover and I was hooked – on Snape that is!  He's been in every HP story I've done so far.

I write in multiple fandoms on LJ, esp. BtVS and Firefly. If you're interested in reading my fic for other/crossover fandoms, it can be found at:

Neat.  I like that she's finally realizing Ron's wrong for her.

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)

Thanks!  It's good to hear that you like how the story is going!

He's very patient.  I hope he doesn't patient himself into Hermione marrying Ron!

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)

Thanks!  I'm so glad you enjoyed the interlude!  And don't worry - he's been watching her to work out his plan.

Sweet.  I love the Severus point of view chapters best.  I also like the descriptions of scents.  Hermione's sounds neat.  (I like bergamot)

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)

Thanks!  I'm really glad you enjoy his chapters (and the scents)!

elsolel

I don't believe her either.  Your Ron would be a huge mistake for your Hermione.

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)

Thanks!  It's good to hear that you like it and the line resonated!

I tend to agree with Severus at this point.

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)

Thanks!  I'm glad you like it and think SS is right!

Oh, to be an eclaire.  I adore this story.

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)

Thanks!  I'm so glad you're still enjoying the story!

You defintely read minds/reviews, but I didn't know she'd never been 'herself'. 

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)

Thanks!  I'm so glad you liked it!  NT doing this is something I projected for her, not something from the books.

Owie.  Nothing quite like a little pressure, hmm?  Excellent.

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)

Thanks!  I'm really happy you like this chapter!  You're right - it's a bit of pressure!

I'm enjoying the trips through Severus' mind.  wonderful chapter.

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)

Thanks!  I'm so glad you liked his POV!  (me too)

This is the most believable mistaken identity 'bout'.   I love this story.

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)

Thanks!  It's so good to hear that you're enjoying the story!

I liked this chapter bunches.  I always wish for good things for Snape, so when he's 'unemployable' in a story it makes me sad.

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)

Thanks!  I'm glad you enjoyed that he's going to have an out at Hogwarts!

elsolel

Wonderful!  Now for more drama.  Yay!

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)

Thanks!  I'm really glad you like the change the story is taking!

Exactly perfect.  Tonks and Severus is a little strange to me anyway.  Lovely.

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)

Thanks!  I'm so glad you liked it from his POV!

This is an excellent opening chapter!  As for Snape confusing Hermione with Tonks, well she is wearing Tonk's dress.  And Tonks is Tonks, after all. 

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)

Thanks!  I'm so glad you liked the first chapter!

Awesome story. I love all the anticipation, and how you showed everything from both points of view.

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)

Thanks!  I'm so happy that you enjoyed the story and the use of the alternating POVs!

Cor!!  This has been an effing brilliant story from chapter to chapter, and the final point of view was no less amazing than the previous.  You've created a masterful work, ubi, and I've enjoyed every moment of it.  I'm sad to see it end.

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)

Thanks!  I'm amazingly glad that you enjoyed the whole story and this last chapter!

I did get the second sex referance but not the Shakespear...Good job! Cookies for you! I actually choked up at this chapter.

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)

Thanks!  I'm so very glad you enjoyed the chapter!  And great that you got The Second Sex ref!

Aurora Greyeyes

I wish that all men in academia were as hot as Severus. For the most part they are just frumpy..... Is it so much to ask for brillance and sexy aspects also?

Response from ubiquirk (Author of Ladder)

Thanks!  I'm really glad you liked it!  I agree - why can't they all be like him?  (sigh)
