Reviews
I have been watching all morning to see when this would post although I was so sad to think of it ending. PLEASE do keep going with story and the two new ideas. When you first mentioned this story I was reading/following the Sense and Sensibility series. I had to google what SSHG stood for! I knew nothing about any of it except that Alan Rickman playwd Snape and that I loved your writing.... now i check my email several times a day to see if you’ve posted!!! I cannot imagine NOT looking forward to a new chapter from you ![1]
Full honesty, I created an account simply so I could comment how much I loved this work. I was checking it all the time to watch for updates and actively sought out this fic so often that it changed the way my phone auto fills. I loved every minute, even when it was hella angsty. Thank you so much! <3[2]
All throughout your story - in fact, besides working through moments of angst or sadness, and even those moments were bittersweet because the depth of negative emotion was a testament to the depth of happier, and great, emotion(s) - I was grinning like a loon, laughing breathlessly, or at the /very/ least smiling contentedly. It's been a stressful week for me, but just "cracking open" your fiction again brought a smile to my lips, no matter the time of day. I swear, no matter where in the story I had stopped reading, within a paragraph you had me fully immersed and feeling quite happy again.Thank you for writing and sharing this wonderful HEA with us! It's so natural, so complete, and immensely conducive to a calm-seas sort of hope — and of accepting one’s (and another’s) scars.[3]
I try to left kudos but i already left it last two years ago (huh funny) I don’t remember i read it even i already bookmark it because this is the second time i read it but it feels like the very first time i read it. So good! Severus is so hot! Hermione is so sexy! And their babies! Twins! Gosh, i hope i didn’t left a comment yet but who cares. I love this story! I might come back for round 3 🥰[4]
I’ve enjoyed quite a bit of this — especially the lingerie and Hermione’s friendships with Ginny, Harry and Draco. The Americanisms were tolerable, however, until utter swot Hermione Granger said, “Bull crap” and I quite lost it. Otherwise quality was lovely and I’d be happy to Britpick for future fics![5]
