I told you I still had to come "squee" about this story, and I apologize about being waylaid. My immune system has decided to kick the bucket

*squeals* I'm so glad you enjoyed this so much. It was definitely a challenge to work within not just Rowling's parameters, but ceredwensirius' as well. I really wanted to get Hermione's side of the story out there, though, so I'm glad it came across well.

And definitely don't feel bad about Team Viktor LOL - I was there myself (shhhh! don't tell!). The good part, though, is that it made me realize I had to write more of the Hermione/Sirius side of things in order to hopefully draw the reader back to Team Sirius by the end.

I am truly honored you enjoyed this. Really really. Especially after reading Temporality. And again, I don't want to bully you or anything, but if you ever want ANY kind of encouragement to write more - I'm your girl. <3

Thank you again, and oh, I hope you feel better! Sick SUCKS.

Soooo, out of a lack of good, new ficcage on the interwebs (and an excess of free time), I've been going back through and rereading some of my favorites. This was one of the first ones I ran to, and lemme say... It is JUST as brilliant the second time through. Except this time, I wasn't speed-reading through to find out what happens in the end, but I actually took my time to go through it and take in the little details.

I love how strong you made Hermione, and I love how much emotion you were able to put into her. I don't think I wrote about this in my first review, but I could feel her anguish and her pain and I had her indignant anger and hurt. And I was constantly jumping ship in the beginning, "Hooo I support Weasley Twins/Hermione!" and still "Viktor, you can focus your attention on me instead." It honestly makes me want to try a Viktor/Hermione... except I know I wouldn't be able to do him justice

Really? WOW. This was an awesome thing to wake up to. And seriously - I read this comment and said "really? with a head-cock. I have too much personal angst associated with this story, I think. It was a LOT of work to get the situation and Hermione's characterization to where I could live with it

omg, I just finished Le Flambeau Vivant this weekend and loved it to death, so I'm definitely reading this. I cannot get enough of that universe :P

Firstly I have to say, that I´m one of those readers, that hate to leave some pointless or dissappointed comment to author, so I don´t comment almost at all. I know, I hate this about myself too. I only comment, when the story hit me straight into my heart and I think about it long long hours after I finished the reading. Well, this is one of those times and all I can say is, that this was brilliant. Not only the plot and retrospective view to their relaitionship, but your style of writing as well. It was ingeniously work, or better piece of art. I´m not big fan of pairing, where Hermione is paired with someone twice her age, but here it worked like magic and the lust, spark and passion between them was alive! :-)
