Reviews for The Love You Take
There's a folktale-like quality to the end of this chapter that is very lovely.
Response from Subversa (Author of The Love You Take)
Thank you,
Response from Subversa (Author of The Love You Take)
. I just couldn't resist the urge to give it that touch. I'm so glad you liked it.
ooo.. did someone end up kissing under the enchanted misteltoe anyway???? hehehehehe This should be fun... Do you think you'll have the next chapter up by tomorrow? ;) I know I dream.. :)
Response from Subversa (Author of The Love You Take)
Not by tomorrow, but hopefully by the weekend. Thanks for the note, honey!
In the words of Pepe Le Pew ... *Le Sigh* ^.^Love, love, love it so much.
Response from Subversa (Author of The Love You Take)
I'm so glad - thanks, babe.
I am really enjoying this fic, which says a lot, because I usually don't enjoy fics where the plot revolves around sex. I love the understated sweetness of Hermione wanting to gather the mistletoe for Severus' headaches, and I can't wait for the next chapter.
Response from Subversa (Author of The Love You Take)
I certainly understand your feelings about stories centered around sex; I don't usually write them. I'm glad you gave this one a try, anyway. Thank you for leaving a note. I am halfway through writing the next chapter now.
Of course Hermione would be stingy when it came to her clothes, so she could purchase a book. Bless her. And I can definitely see her not only noticing the migraines, but researching a solution and then going out on her own to do something about it.
As always, you've blended angst with hawtness beautifully. Their growing protectiveness of each other is thrilling to watch.
Response from Subversa (Author of The Love You Take)
*squee*
I'm so happy you feel Hermione is IC here. You have a way of putting things that just makes me happy.
MUAH!
I think what Hermione was trying to do for Severus was so sweet. Of course, with his insecurities about love and any affection, he would automatically assume Hermione wanted someone else. It's understandable that he's afraid to look at her feelings for him, considering what happened to him last time, but I think if he were to ever find out, he would be completely surprised. Why else would Hermione try to make him something for his headaches, if she didn't care about his well-being?
Response from Subversa (Author of The Love You Take)
Yes, it is very hard for Severus to believe anyone would want him for himself; I think realising she is telling the truth just confuses him. He's a hardcase to sell in emotional matters, I think. Thanks for the note!
Another great chapter. For an intelligent man, he can be so stupid sometimes! I do like the way they're slowly getting closer, in more ways than just physically.
Response from Subversa (Author of The Love You Take)
Isn't that the truth? He is more bull-headed than your average man, I think, because his experiences in the past have been so bad. I'm glad you like the way the story is developing!
'... the darkly twisted trees of the primeval forest with the air of *man who ...'[All for the want of an 'a'!]
I think Christmastime would be a great opportunity for Severus to replace the multitude of knickers he's Vanished!
Response from Subversa (Author of The Love You Take)
Good catch, doll. Thanks for showing it to me.Wouldn't that be hysterical, for him to replace the plain cotton ones with sexy ones? *snickers*
*ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!! *omg i loved it!!! im at school so i cant scream but oh well i love this, brilliant work hun!
Response from Subversa (Author of The Love You Take)
I'm so glad it makes you want to scream - but please don't do it at school. I'm glad you are enjoying it.
I was going to save my comments for the end of the story, but I just can't help myself!
I am in love with this plot (there is definately not PWP). What terrible, mixed-up emotions they both must feel. Their pains as well as their pleasures really come through in this story. My favorite part so far was the part where Severus hears Dumbledore floo in but chooses to ignore him in favor of continuing with her. It's clear that he wants her, but he continues to maintain his nobility which is just beautiful.
I also love the idea of her wanting to make the gift potion for him but endangering herself to do so. It's almost like he needs to rescue her from himself. He knows that she is falling in love with him and he's trying to save her from that in some way.
I love it. I love it. I love it. More please!!!
Response from Subversa (Author of The Love You Take)
My dear
Response from Subversa (Author of The Love You Take)
, thank you so much for dropping a note. It does my heart good to know that you love the plot. I agree that Severus seems to feel he must save Hermione from him, just as he can't seem to pull away form her. More to come!
This is turning from carnal to tender, and it also is an answer for my earlier question what they might do once the weekend was over. Move on, it seems. Lovely.
Response from Subversa (Author of The Love You Take)
I agree that the emotions are not beginning to surface, but it just confuses poor Severus. Thank you for the note!
Dear Subversa,This is simply a wonderful story. I found it a couple of days ago, and have been enjoying it in my limited free time. Since I read through it all before stopping to review (sorry!), I can't comment, but there are so many lovely aspects of it. You write SSHG very convincingly, your OCs are good and fit well, your story line is interesting and flows smoothly.I know I'd read a couple of your fics some time ago, but recently have happily rediscovered you, and am working my way through all your stories. I very much envy love your writing, and especially your porn plot lines. :)Seriously, I think your stories are tops because while you do write P, it never seems PWP! That plot always sneaks in, whether you mean for it or not! Thanks so much for sharing with those us shlubs who have great imaginations, just can't get stuff down on paper! I'll be sure to list you on my favs, so I'll know right away when the next installment comes.Christev
A lovely long chapter! I do feel for them both, as hot as it may be, it's also frustrating, especially for Hermione.And it certainly does have plot!What about Nexus? Can't wait to find out about it.
WOW!
This is hot stuff this curse. Probably become unbearable atfer a few days though.
Poor Snape, thank heavens for the Potency Potion.
Nexus - does that contain her virgins blood?
I have a bad feeling about Hermione seeing the Dark Mark... She's not in a fit state to fight, but I can't see her turning away if she thinks people are in trouble. Seems to me that Madam Prince would have a different opinion of the "drivel" Severus wrote if she had had time to finish reading the note. Hermione looks like she likes "his idea of how to woo his lady-love" just fine! Pettigrew couldn't have come to a nicer end. Am a bit nervous too about what Voldemort is going to do with her hair slide, and how Severus is going to react... Don't want him to do anything to blow his cover or mess with his concentration during a battle. Love this fic!!! Looking forward to the next!
lovely note... just like SS to take the academic tone in coveying his feelings....very nice touch with the dragon...really like the smells like food line!!!! More please!
well, if I were a smoker (which I'm not), a whole pack would have been puffed to get me thru this Sexorama!chappy. Glad to see that they both still have their edges and quirks despite the compulsion of the curse (and getting their brains shagged into mush) The smut!freak reader in me is glad that you've decided to persevere along with our OTP...!
ooo such a great story, I can't wait for the next update. I hope he tells her he loves her soon :)
:O I went to click for the next chapter, then realized there wasn't one! Update sooooon please;D
The hair is a bit too long for my liking, but yuuuuuuum:D
Great job!
There's certainly plenty of plot in this story! And good plot, at that.
It really is a truly terrible curse. I just hope some good will come of this, what with the first signs of actual mutual affection already starting to show.
I just saw a cartoon lately with Snape and Hermione getting it on in the storeroom during a class period. Thank you for putting it into words (even if you had never seen the cartoon).I'm glad you had Hermione tell him that she wanted him after the compulsion was satisfied. I wonder if he already knew that....
