Reviews for A Rock and a Hard Place

    Thanks so much for emailing me to let me know this was up again - I've lost track of some of my favourite stories and writers since the reorganisation here; I really appreciate it.

    Four fantastic chapters to enjoy on a Sunday morning as well. I was just drowning in a surfeit of lemon-scented bliss when the last chapter woke me up and shook me. Terrific, powerful stuff with the plot coming back into play. That scene with Voldemort was authentically creepy; my hackles rose. Elizabeth a Parseltongue! Trudy married to a Lestrange! The curse meant for Dumbledore (ew, she had a stroke of luck there, at least)!

    I love this; it's so good to be back in the loop with it.

    I used the address in your profile to send you my email address.

    I've never seen 'He Who I Find Most Tedious & Tiresome' use Owl Post before, but I guess that would be a lot less painful than using the dark mark to communicate with him.

    This chapter really showed me where your title comes from, he really was between a rock and a hard place there. Trudy's daughter must be exceptionally smart and brave for her age to save her mother like that. She's the only one I've ever seen negotiate with 'HW', and on top of that she won the negotiation. Good for her! At least we know she's safe. I wonder if maybe Nagini has gone over to her side? You know, 'HW' thinks he is brilliant, but I think he's pretty d*mn stupid, and he's not even an inbred pureblood.

    I hope the release from the curse didn't take or that it has lasting side effects, I don't want to lose any smut because of that.

    (Chapter 10)


    So Trudy's daughter is a Lestrange. Which begs the question, why would a Lestrange marry a Muggle? So maybe Trudy isn't a Muggle after all? Or was this Daniel Lestrange a renegade from the family? Hmm. I'll stop speculating now and wait for the next update. Which I hope will be soon!

    Oh, crap. She was with one of the Lestranges? That's quite a twist, and a little information that might have helped earlier on. I wonder how Snape will react to that news.

    I loved the dual role that Snape has to play, and how he hates doing it. Poor guy, now that he has Trudy, he truly is screwed. In all ways.

    Great chapter. I look forward to more.

    I must admit that I am very impressed by your story. Trudy is very realistic in a very unreal situation. Although I wouldn't mind slipping between the sheets with Snape now and again *wink*. I think you deserve many more reviews than what you've received and AFF.net needs to reinstate their Snape/OFC so that a stunning example such as your story doesn't go missed by careless eyes.

    I like Trudy. She's an intriguing character, and I think there is more there than meets the eye. Snape certainly got stuck with a handful with her, and boy, what he's doing with her. I would appreciate it if you would email me when you update. I really like this story.

    (Chapter 9)

    Thanks so much for notifying me of the update!

    I love it how Severus arrived just in time, saved her, dealt with the miscreants and then took care of her. I love how not only his lust for her is growing, but his care for her. I think he's falling in love, although far be it for him to ever actually say that! And now the plot thickens, they're going to see the Dark Lord. Will Trudy be able to see her daughter? Can't wait for the next update!

    I was hoping we could keep 'He Who I Find Most Tedious & Tiresomes" out of this.What is going on between Trudy and Snape is so intense that anything else is superfluous, even her daughter.

    oh i also wanted to note that a am glad you paired him up with someone that is his age and with a daughter to boot. Too many times they have him paired with students or twenty year olds that are way to attractive and smart. Your character is extremly original!

    I am also glad you updated because you have not in a while

    somehow this chapter was really sweet. Though can we get a little more smut in the next chapter?

    I've been checking every day for an update and finally here it is. I was afraid there wasn't going to be any smut, but you came through with flying colors at the end.

    It seems that things ar getting deeper and much more complicated between them. I'm anxiously awaiting the next update so I can see what happens next in the classroom and the potions closet.
