Reviews for Atonement

    Great story! I'm so glad you finished it. It was very powerful but left a somewhat lingering after taste of "now what?" Draco being so humiliated that there was no real absolution - at least to this reader's mind.

    First I thought it was weird. Then I thought it was sad. After that I thought it WAS kinky. Finally I think it's all 'bout real life.

    That was really beautiful. I don't read a lot of dominance/submission where the author so clearly understands the motivations behind such acts, and is able to convey it without being maudlin or sentimental. Draco's journey made me cry, plain and simple. I loved it.

    Well, he seems to have found what he sought. I think you've explained best the dynamic between dominance and submission to me. For here, Draco is the one who has sought out Hermione, not the other way around.

    This was amazing. I had wondered how you were going to end it. I think it was perfect and appropriate. Other than that I'm sort of at a loss for words. I enjoyed this story very much and am sad to see it end.

    Powerful story. And I do so very much like Domme!Hermione. At long last Draco finds something in his life worth living for.

    This was one of the most painfully beautiful stories that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. It was so raw that I felt completely wretched reading it at times...and completely uplifted at others. Draco is just so low, but his hope and his pure love toward Hermione makes him almost noble.

    I loved it!

    :::Standing Ovation:::: This is got to be hands down the best Domme!Hermione fic I've ever read, and one of the best bdsm fan fics I've ever read. Your depiction of submission and the progression of intimacy between a top and a bottom ringed so true on so many different levels. I loved that you showed this from the submissive male's point of view, and that it wound up transcending gender completely. Draco's voice in this fic is very human, genderless, and raw in its vulnerability.

    I'm pouting because it had to end, but what a way to end. That was really HOT and more than that, it was intimate..for him to wait so long to even touch her and experience her in this way was really powerful. I really love where you took their relationship, and so happy that Draco gets to keep seeing her and hears love in her voice...finally!

    You had me cracking up when she was going through the list of things, checking to see how committed he was to serving her...and boy is he? The part about Ron was jaw dropping, but somehow, sexy still. lol.

    I can't thank you enough for writing this Emily. I know this is one of your shorter stories, but I really think it ranks up there with all of your other greatest fics. And I'm honored to recieve it. Much love. ((((()))))

    What a powerful chapter Emily! My heart broke for Draco in the beginning, his need is so palpable and just raw. Finally, Hermione begins to let the ice chip away a little. She's allowing herself some real attachment and showing some affection, albeit it on her terms and only when he's at the end of his rope, so to speak. The kisses and touches to his bruises was almost romantic after what she's put him through. And I love that she cares enough to warn him of the danger of them taking it to the next level. I love that he thinks of her so much, and that just thinking of her is enough to keep him going. Draco returning to her door every weekend and waiting despite her absence is deep. I suspect that Hermione trying to put distance between them out of concern for him. And the fact that he knew that eventually she'd let him in again means he understands her and their relationship in a way that never had to be explicitly said. He loves her...I love the moment he realizes that. It's heartbreaking and just fucking powerful that this "love" is enough for him after all of the bullshit in his life. When Hermione finally allows him to enter and gives in, you had me clapping. The scene with him finally getting his "prize" surpassed erotica, it was almost spiritual. It was so intimate. It seems that they definitely have a new understanding about what this relationship is, and I'm happy for him in a way. I hope that in the conclusion of this fic, he's allowed to continue to keep coming back to give her pleasure. I'm not going to lie, I'm worried the Snarry fic I'm writing for you won't even come close to being this oustanding. But I'll try because this is such a kick ass dramione you've written for me : ) I'll admit that your rare depiction of male submission in a het D/s relationship has given me pause, and caused me to rethink more than a few things, and for that I am grateful. Thank you, love. ((((((()))))))

    Every chapter brings tears to my eyes. EVERY CHAPTER! But can you explain to me why chapter 6 brought me to tears, arousal and tears again? My poor broken Draco, how I hate to see him like that! I adore this story however, thanks for sharing Softobsidian74's gift with all of us!

    I didn't expect that this story would conclude so quickly, though, I guess, the arc is almost over. I look forward to seeing what happens next. :D

    I love how complex, how twisted his thoughts are - I love how tight you keep the perspective, so we can only guess at what Hermione's thought are. I love how you keep the reader waiting for more of a relationship, but you don't give it to us . . . yet.
