averygoodun42I just got a review that made me very, very happy. One of those "oh yeah, that's why I write" reviews.
*smiles*
Powerful, beautiful, perfect. You are a gifted writer. You can feel the pure emotion that both characters still have for each other. Hermione's ordeal didn't end when she made it back home, and the baby was a painful reminder that there are always consequences to your actions. It seemed to me that Hermione wanted to really hurt Snape with the knowledge of the baby, but she didn't get any true satisfaction from it. I was glad to see that, it meant she is not controlled by her hate and that gives me hope for her future. It is truly harder to forgive yourself than to forgive someone else. It was beautiful to see how much being forgiven meant to Snape. Although Snape seems to have found some peace because Hermione forgave him, willingly giving yourself to death isn't really forgiving yourself. I suppose it was enough for him. This really was closure for your story. Thank you.
And I don't care if she said it just to flatter me.
Of course, then there's the different squee factor of having a very recognizable name in the fandom whose work I admire very much saying, Heartrending, but so beautifully done. You've rendered me inarticulate.
Thank goodness for loverly reviews and the people they come from!

So congrats you! I've not written for so long, nor do I think I will, so I'll never know how that feels. So I'll have to live vicariously through you.
