This was aggravatingly long and somehow completely worth it. Is it a great work of literature? I don’t know. Is it a great Harry Potter fanfic? Hell yes. Am I embarrassed by how much I love it? Kinda.

Ugh this was such a good book but the ending irked me so much. I felt like we didn’t get to see them have the happy ending they deserved. Even though they technically got it I would have liked to have seen more of it.

My first Snape/Hermione paring, and I was hesitant at first, but after seeing so many recommending it I couldn’t not read it. And boy am I glad I decided to give it a chance! I was hooked after a few chapters, and have been reading every available houre for the last three days haha. The plot even outshone canon on multiple occasions, that saying a lot. It plays out during the 6th and 7th book, from Hermiones and Snapes perspective of the war. The writing is beautiful and so well thought out. Will definitely reread at some point.

Well written and in character. One of the best stories I’ve read recently, I’m glad I found it.

On of my favorite books ever, which I think tells a lot. My absolute favorite Hermione/Snape fic!

it's so good. she wrote this so well, I feel like it could have actually been a part of the cannon. like a book to fill in gaps and alternate endings. I understand people's complaint about the ending not being what they thought it should be but I also understand the ending she wrote.

Was a bit disappointed in the last few chapters, -- I do so dislike a cold feet treatment, it felt really jarring after everything they went through together.

Lost interest. Life is too short to be stuck on books(in this case fanfic), you don't like

I didn’t know I needed this read this bad. I wish I could read it for the first time again. My poor heart
