I really enjoyed this fic until chapter 26. Then chapter 26 was a real let-down. After going through all that uncertainty - and then the scene with the two boxes - I at least wanted to see a hug!

I understand what you wrote about not feeling comfortable with scenes full of "I love you's," but it is terribly anticlimactic to not even see the reconciliation between Harry and Severus after 25 chapters of angst. There's ways to write such a scene without spouting buckets of moosh. For example, you could have Harry and Severus embrace, one whispered set of "I love you's", and then cut straight to the make-up sex... you write lovely harry/sev sex scenes!

Thank you for writing & sharing this fiction with us -- even if the ending wasn't my favorite, I still enjoyed reading!

wonderful story! really great!

thank you for the story, i enjoyed it a lot =D
and the AN, it was interesting as always and informative
well done

A truly great story (that I didn't want to end!!). I love it that you've added these Author's Notes at the end here, not only is it helpful in explaining what anyone might not have got reading the story, but it's fascinating (to me anyway) to get a small look at your writing process. You are, without a doubt, my favourite author on AFF, (even though you're slowly driving me mad with the cliffhangers in "Areas of Expertise"!) and I look forward to reading all your future work. Stories like yours are what sites like this should be all about. You've done an excellent job!..................AND.................................................... I heard "sequel" to "Areas of Expertise"...........that's the only plausible reason to end it...to read the sequel!! Thanks so much for sharing your writing.

awwwwwwwwww so sweet
the happy family ending XD
ok i'm not good with math so i was hopin u could clarify their ages n years for me.
other than that, this has been a wonderful story.
quite well-written n fairly planned out plot.
i understand how those lovey-dovey scenes could be hard to write
but it would've been nice to see some "together" scenes ;P
now i can focus on readin Areas

oh forgot about their continuously increasing number of children
i do hope they'll eventually start applyin their protection charms seriously
n where do they mainly reside now? wut bout while teachin?
well u dun hafta answer all these questions, just lil curious

Awwwwwwwwwww.........I know, I know, all good things must come to an end...and all that rot, but..I don't WANT it to end!!! I really love your work, I know I'll be coming back to read this story again and again. You WILL continue writing more great stories, won't you? WON'T YOU?!?!?!? Pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaase?.................if I rub your tummy and scratch your ears?

AWWW! So Sweet! Harry is realising he loves him...hopefully he isnt to thick. Keep updating! I love this story

finally had time to read the 3 new chapters
n i re-read the story from the beginning
which i realized i read a word wrong n thought they broke "contract" instead of "contact"... ANYWAY
gosh, Harry is so deep in denial >0<
omg how is Kreacher this nice? totally creeps me out in a new way LOL
geez i think if Harry is so stubbornly blind to the truth, Sev should just stop bing so stubborn n say somethin that'll show he actually still loves Harry
instead of worryin that Harry will leave any moment
but ch 24 n 25 are really quite sad.
the ending of ch25 however, i have some assumptions but i don't really know.
i just hope Harry finally can "see" through everything they've been through the last few years
n maybe Sev can apologize again for his mistake
this isn't the end "The End" is it? plz i hope there's another chapter to see Harry n Sev together, all mended n happy!

how many kids did they end up having 10?
