Hi there Qtness.Quill I was glad to hear you enjoyed this so much. Being able to bring into a story all that detail and psychological analysis of Severus' character that you so generously praise in your review was the initial inspiration for this fic. I wanted to explore the journey that Severus would have had to travel, if he'd survived the war, to heal from the deep emotional wounds that his life up to that point must have caused him. I had a great time trying to get under Severus' skin and wanted you all to have as much fun reading the results of my efforts, so sharing this with all of you wasn't a problem. Thank you for taking the time to leave me such lovely review. I enjoyed receiving it.

Hi there delia cerrano I'm glad you found this touching. Writing a heavily emotional tale of healing and romance was my goal when I first started this. This story was always meant to move it's reader and I'm very happy that it worked like that for you. Thank you for taking the time to read and review, it was greatly appreciated.

Hi there addiena saffir As I have no idea of which chapter exactly it is that finally prompted you to review I can't properly defend myself. I've deduced that your particular kind of "gobsmacked" can't possibly be the right kind, because whichever chapter it was left you peaked, so... there's nothing much I can do here except telling you that there's a lot of angst in this story, but there's also a lot of love. Everything will be worth it in the end, you know? This is really all about romance. Thank you for having decided to leave a review, after all. I sincerely hope that you continued reading despite it all and found the rest of it to your liking, if you didn't... then I can honestly tell you that for that I'm sorry. This story was born from a desire to entertain you all while spinning a romance that left you smiling in the end and if it failed to do so, then I have also failed to achieve my initial goal.

Hi there Bagogems Thank you for taking the time to respond to me. I find it really wonderful that you are so encouraging about getting this story out there. I'd be delighted with you betaing this monster of a fic for me, just tell me how that works and I'll try to accommodate you. I know there must be plenty of mistakes with this story, as it was my very first chaptered snarry and I'm not a native english speaker. I've already left a query with the promote a story forum but haven't yet received an answer from them, so I don't really know if that idea will work better than yours or not. I might end up doing just as you suggested. I've posted this on Archive of our Own, Fanfiction.net and the snape_potter community already. I must say that I've been rather shocked to find out that it did well on the first two but it has been sadly overlooked by the actual snarry crowd. I'm willing to post it somewhere else if you have any other suggestions. Thank you for your offer of help, and for having taken the time to actually recommend it. It's greatly appreciated.

Hi there I just posted on AFF a completed fic a couple of days ago and a couple of my reviewers have advised me to delete some of the chapters and re-post them more slowly in order to keep it at the top of the latest-stories list. I'm a bit reluctant to do that as I don't really want to upset whoever might be currently reading it. I saw this forum and thought it could be just the solution to get my story out there instead. This is a work that I've posted in a few other sites as well and I saw in your rules here that out of site stories can't be posted. Does that mean that you only allow stories that had been only posted on AFF or that the story in question must be posted here too?

Hi there Bagomens First of all let me really thank you for leaving me such a wonderful review. Yes, I do realize that Harry's character is the weakest link in this particular story because he is portrayed here very differently from our usual interpretation of him. I needed him to be really strong or he wouldn't have managed to put up with Severus' reluctance. It's true that he's been influenced by being so closely surrounded by the Malfoys, but also the emotional turmoil of being left in limbo for so long, while he waited for Severus to wake up, has played a very important part in turning him into what he is right now. I hadn't considered that point about how releasing the story in a single go could actually make it go unnoticed until another reviewer mentioned it yesterday and now I don't really know what to do. Your suggestion of removing already posted chapters and reposting them all over again sounds quite sensible, but I wonder if that wouldn't irritate whoever is out there already reading past whichever chapter I decide to delete. Wouldn't it be better to promote it in the promote a story forum? I'm new to this website and I don't really know how it works yet, so I'm still left pondering over all of these things. I'm going to try and figure out some of it, so that I can do one or the other by the weekend. Thank you, once again, for taking the time to review.

Hi there! Since some of you have seen it fit to leave your thoughts on The voice under all silences. I decided to set up this thread to answer all your comments. First of all let me thank everyone who took the time to read. Now here are my replies to all of you who also decided to leave me some really appreciated feedback: laury: Thank you for having taken the time to review this story. I must agree with you on the point that Severus didn't really have that much room for choice when it came to his relationship with Harry, but I don't think he would have tried to seek out anyone at all on his own. He is almost cripplingly shy here and that makes his character virtually unable to "shop around" for a companion. Harry was there, he was willing to work for the relationship and allowed Severus to go at his own pace, which soothed his ingrained distrust. I don't think there are that many men out there who'd have done so and in that way, maybe Severus' own personality is responsible for his lack of options. NeuroticNeko: Thank you for taking the time to send me these really lovely reviews of yours. I'm very glad to hear that you are finding this story enjoyable so far and I have to say that your advice on spreading the release of this thing over a few days makes perfect sense to me, now that someone has given me the idea. I might do that in the future. I was thinking that maybe I should apologize for bringing you to tears, but then decided that I'm rather proud of that, anyway. Being told that my story is good enough to call forth that kind of emotional reaction is probably one of the most flattering things you could have said, so... thank you, once again, for the lovely compliment.

Hi there! Since some of you have seen it fit to leave your thoughts on The mating rituals of the crabby hermit. I decided to set up this thread to answer all your comments. First of all let me thank everyone who took the time to read. Now here are my replies to all of you who also decided to leave me some really appreciated feedback: unneeded: Thanks so much for reviewing. I'm glad you liked this story and yes, you are right, all Severus needed was some gentle, patient wooing. I don't know if Sev would expect Harry to really get a pet crab now but that's a door open to a second part right there, isn't it? Cody_Thomas: Thank you for reviewing. onecelestialbeing: Glad you liked it. Thanks for your review. asiacheetah: I've been surprised by the amount of people who actually enjoyed this comparison between Severus and the crab, I was glad to know it convinced you too. Thank you for reviewing. Qtness.Quill: Thank you, very much, for your really lovely and generous review. It made me blush you know?
