Congratulations for this great job =]

I take so much pleasure in reading your stories!  This one was another example.  The balances between pain/hurt and comfort, sarcasm and sincerity, love and lust, desperation and patience, and hope and self-doubt felt as though they sat on a knife's edge.  The story could have felt so contrived, but you avoided that trap so beautifully.  Thank you.  I look forward to reading more of your work.

This was a wonderful story. I enjoyed it very much. :)

snarky, sneaky, SEXY Snape on hand to rescue Hermione from marrying some nincompoop? I am so here!!!

This was wonderful ... so unique and sweet!

Thank you!

:)

I loved this story, although it kind of hit a nerve--I just broke up with my fiance a few months ago, although luckily it wasn't this close to our wedding (unfortunately, the breakup was a lot more difficult than this). I wish that I had a Snape to sweep me off my feet, though, I'm still waiting for that to happen!I like how Severus started off seeming like a jerk (it would be hard to forgive him as Hermione found) but became less of a jerk and finally was downright loveable in the end.

I never knew you'd finished this.  That's what happens when real life derails one's good intentions.Your ending was very fun -- the Hannah arrival carried all the amusement of a Billy Wilder comedy, and I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that they all got their happy ending.  Although I suspect Severus is the real thing, but that might just come with maturity.

So lovely. I loved everything from beginning to end, and everything was very convincing despite the unusual turn of events. Wonderful work!

Good story.  Not too much angst before the happy ever after.

Very good story so far, but ch. 5 runs off the page, making it difficult to read in the normal print size, and impossible to read if enlarged.  I had to copy the page and send it to myself in an email in order to read ch. 5.

Wonderful ending! Of course, I only expect awesome things from such a talented author. I often return to your fics for inspiration or just when I'm in the mood for something I know is good. Anyway, I was just cruising around Dennis Kucinich's website, and I found a picture of him and his wife, Elizabeth. They are sitting by the anvil! It says Gretna Green on it! I know it's not a huge deal, but I was pretty excited :) The link, if you or anyone is interested, is here: http://kucinich.us/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=44&Itemid=2Just scroll down a little past halfway.Thanks for writing and sharing,Sue

Very nice ending.  I was curious about the significance of the anvil all the way through.  That really tied the whole thing together.  Well done :)

So I totally missed this update. I saw on my LJ the SS/HG digest had it listed as 'Complete' and was like What-what? When? Where?? What's going on here? Conveniently they post the link. :)Then I'm about 10 or so lines from the ending, and my computer does some kind of craziness that only computers can do and everything shuts down - in the middle of my reading! And again I found myself saying (with some serious agitation this time) What the hell is going on here!!??! Well, I finally got to finish this lovely fic, though with a small intermission. :) I love that Sev was willing to make a forever commitment AND that Hermione was willing to see how things go. I think it was a very realistic portrayal to have her choose the 'year and a day' ring rather than run headlong into a marriage with this man who had so recently been completely absent from her life - though I like to think they went back in that year and now BOTH parties have the 'forever and a day' rings. :)

Such a lovely ending to a very enjoyable story.

Thank you for this delightful tale.  I find it amusing that both Hermione and Hannah wanted their men to do something, but didn't make it clear to the men what they wanted.  That seems to be a problem in our American culture, at least.  Young women think men are either mind-readers, or that the men understand that women say stupid things, like 'go' when they mean stay.A hint to all young women reading this: If you want your fellow to do something, make it Perfectly Clear to him.  Do not be afraid to write it out as well as telling him.  Post-It notes to remind him may be useful, although  many men have excellent memories.   Some men are so happy that a woman will simply TELL him what she wants, that she will become the woman of his dreams thereby.

As always, love your stories! 

Thanks for the sweet story.  The happy ending junkie needs her fix!  Thanks for your work!

Another wondrous story, Subversa!  You always come up with the most interesting plotlines, generously mixed with romance, humor, drama, a smut!  Thanks so much for sharing this lastest one!

Great job in redeeming Snape in the last two chapters. Thanks for sharing another excellent story.

what a wonderful seory thank you i need a quick read and a happy ending

awwwwww.... so sweet! *sniff*sniff* tissue please? such a moving proposal! will there be an epilogue?

great story :)

Gotta know when to fold 'em , know when to hold 'em, know when to walk away and know when to run.....don't run too fast Sev!

He is so damn sexy isn't he. The Gay Gordon is great, nice simple dance and you get to dance with all the blokes, ok you get some handsome princes, but you get a few frogs! Was at a dance the other week and boy was I glad to see my husband coming back around the circle.. lots of frogs that night.. old ones too!  

That was adorable.  Nice of him to get Hannah there for Neville.
