Reviews for A Terrible Temptation

    What a fantastic story! The plot is amazing, and I really like the part of Ron - not a stupid prat, but in the middle of the quiz game - and the part of Severus, the both having nearly a friendship. I feel very pity for poor Snape and all my compassis fos for torned Hermione.

    OH MY GOD!!! You are a genius. I was first attracted to this fic because I had never seen a one with over one thousand reviews before. You deserve every last one and more. Your writing reminds me forcibly of Melanie Rawn. It's fabulous. Ok, enough of my blatherings. Keep up the good work.

    That was by far the best fanfiction I've ever read. I couldn't really stop. Really beautiful!

    I just wanted to let you know how much I LOVED A Terrible Temptation. I am fairly new to the genre, and up to the point where I began reading, I was still uncertain about my feelings regarding Snape and Hermione together. But by the gods, you managed to convert me. I was touched by the relationship in this story, from their somewhat questionable beginnings to the very sweet, very moving end. Your emotional range with the characters is absolutely remarkable, and the interaction between them utterly plausible. The love scenes at the end were amusing and sexy as hell without gushing or resorting to gross anatomy, which I am grateful for. Very tasteful, but never losing sight of the fact that it is, after all, sex. A well-wrought scene.

    The battles played very clearly in my mind as I was reading with a vivid fluidity that I found amazing, and the loss of life dealt with in such a way as to be emotionally jarring, but not maudlin. Very well done.

    I also liked the fact that you made Harry less than perfect, but definitely human. He wasn't a complete bastard because of a plot device, it was genuine circumstances that caused his behavior throughout. It made him seem more real, more three dimensional than many other stories that focus on Hermione and/or Snape. You didn't sacrifice one character for the sake of playing up another, and I applaud you. Ron's befriending of Snape was also fabulous, and completely unexpected as far as I was concerned. But once I read your interpretation of their friendship, I was bemused by how 'right' it seemed.

    The little interjections with the Animagus and Crookshanks was also fascinating, and I found myself wishing there was more about the felines that roamed the castle as I read about them. I'm not suggesting cat-fics in the works, but it was written with enough perspective and depth that I longed for more. That is a good thing. =D

    All in all, I enjoyed your work more thacan can say, and I thank you for the opportunity to spend a few hours in your world. It's been a real pleasure!

    OMG! this was the best story! it seemed extremely accurate, and c to to the books. the depth that you put into Severus is extraordinary, and how Hermione thinks is very excellent! There were some part that left me teary, and then the odd time I felt, well, mildly pissed off at one character or another. Meh, in the end I was somewhat speachless because it was , and is, the best story! Yay you!

    Wow, this was really a great story. Plenty of angst and romance, with dashes of humor thrown in. I particularly liked the cats - the convocation and their conversations are something I haven't seen before in fanfic (and I've read a LOT of fanfic!) so, Kudos to you for originality!

    And I'm a sucker for a happy ending. :-D Thanks so much for your hard work on this story. I really enjoyed it!

    Adriana recced ATT to me, and I'm just now getting around to reviewing. *sorry!*

    This is a very good story, and it's gotten better as I've read more chapters. Along about the time you started mentioning in your author's notes how the story had gotten under your skin, I noticed a definite improvement on what was already a good fic.

    "He would go back to being friendless and alone, a penitent searching for absolution in the darkness." I love creative writing like this! :-D

    Bravo! Bravo! What a beautiful ending to an equally beautifuory.ory. I have loved this from the beginning. You did a fabulous job tackling a challenge that most were unwilling to take on. Great characterization, excellent battle scene ( I find those quite difficult to write), and the lemons were quite refreshing. Wonderful job!

    The ending of this wonderful work has me rather weepy, which is rather inconvenient since I am at work. I am having trouble finding the words for this. You have created a universe complete with characters to care about, cheer for, snarl at and mourn. I'm only sorry it's over. Brava!
