no wedding and kids for her, eh?

Thank you so much for this story ladies. I have enjoyed the reading of it.

Beautiful ending, my thanks to Marisol for her tale and to you Muggline for your translation.

Marisol, I've really appreciated your character development in this story.  There were times when I didn't think that this Severus could love, but you made his growth towards loving Hermione very believable!Muggline, thanks for taking the effort to translate this story and share it with us.  And thanks for letting me read the chapters before anybody else.  Hehe!  :)

Your author's note really said it all -- what distinguishes this story isn't hawt sexxx or high drama (although it has been both sexy and dramatic), but its subtle layers of mood. All of the characters were completely, fully drawn -- as the story grew on me, each new chapter seemed like a reunion with old friends. Many thanks to Marisol, and thank you so much, Muggline, for your efforts in bringing this lovely story to a new audience.

Very nice story. You did a good job translating it. I hope to see others from this author some day.

This has been such wonderful story that I simply must tell Marisol and you, Muggleline, how deeply grateful I am that we have been allowed the joy of reading it.  It was realistically paced to reveal the journey of the spirit that Severus had to make to go from the isolated and taciturn man he was to become the man we see in this Epilogue.  Paralleling Severus' own journey, Hermione, Ginny, and Harry made their own slow journey and managed to forge bonds of love and friendship with the Potions master.  Hermione's journey went much further.  By encompassing Severus with her total acceptance of what he could offer, which included loving her, she and Severus have built a life for themselves that may not have been everyone's idea of perfect, but it suited the two of them well.I'm tickled for Albus that he was sorted into Ravenclaw.  He will not have to meet any expectations for either House—Slytherin or Gryffindor, but I have no doubt that he will bring glory to his own House and to his godfather by becoming brilliant at Potions!Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the opportunity and the privilege of enjoying this marvelous story!Beth

Just lovely:)

So perfect:)

Warm regards,

Nice ending and a good compromise.

Beautiful.

I'm surprised. I thought after a decade they would at least live together. They seem to be happy quite enough, but I couldn't help but hope for marriage and perhaps a child or two. That's the bad side of being an helpless romantic.Anyway, that was a fantastic story, and I thank you and Marisol for sharing and translating.

Beautiful! I was a bit surprised that they were not married, but perhaps marriage doesn't suite Marisol's Severus (or Hermioine either, it's not for everyone).Like you, Muggline, I really enjoyed the slow and realistic pace of this story. It warmed my heart to the core.Thanks so much for giving us non-German speakers the chance to enjoy it. :)

Sweet ending. Sad it's all over though! Thanks for brining this to us!

That was a lovely ending. Thank  you for taking the time to translate this. I'm always in awe of anyone who is able to do that. 

Now to get the epilogue to this story on today, of all days, my birthday is absolutely perfect.  Thank Marisol for writing it and thank you for taking the time and care for translating it so we could all enjoy it in its glory.

Oh my God!!!...Thank you so much Marisol and thanks a million Muggline for translating...This just made my day!!!

This fic is beyond amazing. This has to be the most realistic portrayal of the ss/hg ship I have ever read. The dance between them was painful at many moments, as was the time it took to get to this point, but dang was it worth it. Eagerly await further development of their relationship.

I do adore those late night confessions and promises.

Oh...just an epilogue left, makes my heart a teeny bit sad but I can see how our story is coming to an end. :)

Sometimes that's the best and worst feeling in the world - the near end to a great story, don't you think?

I love the imagery of the corridor conversation..lovely!

(Sidenote: Do you see those random question marks at the end of the chapter?)

Oh my goodness, this has to be my favorite love scene.

I am very far behind in this story - what a great place to pick it up!

what a lovely tale, please keep it up

Nawww, I imagine Severus to be a possessive smuggler too! Lovely chapter.

I'm so glad he finally accepted and her love. I can't wait to read the epilogue.

Aw, yay! I really love how Severus knows he's difficult and is amazed by Herm's devotion.
