| When Severus begs for forgiveness, that whole part makes my heart pound. It is so open and raw and in the moment. Author's Response: I think this is the real Severus, not the person in the preceeding chapters. Finally we come to know him, and the entire story is really about him choosing to embrace the dark or the light. It's at this moment I wanted my readers to point to him and say, "I Want That One." | |||

| I love the change that happens while they are having sex. How he wants to pleasure her completely. How he makes sure this is what she wants, too. How we find out just why he is treating her as he has been. The way you write how Severus feels after he finds out the truth, truly makes one pity the man. There is no way around it. Author's Response: I knew he had to be vulnerable here; if not, the reader couldn't forgive him, and neither could Hermione. | |||

| I hate how he makes her change into Lily. How reverently he treats her, how much he changes. How Hermione wishes he were looking at her with those looks instead of Lily. How broken he sounds when he asks her to come. Then the snap comes. In both of them. And everything changes in that moment. Hermione has power over him, and he realizes that he wants to be forgiven by her. He wants to be with her, as equals. And then Malfoy has to come along and shake things up, doesn't he? You just love your curve balls, don't you Teddy? Author's Response: Well, if you can stay on your toes, you have a better chance of choosing the direction you need to run, don't you ? I think the think I'm most proud of in this chapter is the Polyjuice explanation. I don't care that you physically change, but your brain is still the same, and it wouldn't be able to process the nerve endings being in a different place than usual. It would have to feel very strange, IMHO. | |||

| The fact that he never looks her in the eye, it seems as if he is making sure he doesn't feel anything. If he looked at her while abusing her sexually, I think he wouldn't be able to do it anymore. I think taking her from behind is a sort of self-preservation tactic of his. When he is almost overcome with lust, it shows that he is developing a sort of attachment to her, but quickly finds himself and cuts it. When he begs her not to come, it feels as if he doesn't want her to come because he is afraid. I feel as if he is afraid that he will become attached to her if he knows that he has made her come. And when she does, he has to punish her for making him feel that way. Then he completely changes! By telling her that she probably didn't deserve that (whether it is being beaten or coming, I do not know) and then shushes and comforts her. Then we get into his head and know that he doesn't know exactly why he is doing this to her. He knows that it is wrong, yet isn't able to stop himself. That he desires her. Its heartbreaking to know that he feels that he always knew how to make those he cared for suffer. And now he feels as if he has to continue on this path. He says out loud that he shouldn't want her and asks her to make him stop wanting her. I can't believe he made her change to Lily! Oh! Breaks my freaking heart! Author's Response: Yes, he rather cryptically says, You probably didn't deserve that - when he is the one that inflicted the pain on her in the first place. I think the only thing Hermione can do in this situation is to just try to remember it's not her - she's just a pawn in whatever is going on in his head, and it's not pretty in there. | |||

| “Y-your - your cunt..." Its almost as if he doesn't want to be as verbally abusive as he is. Severus doesn't stumble over words, and yet he seems as if he was having trouble here. The sudden snap in him while she is pleasuring him and herself is incredibly scary. I find it even scarier knowing his thought process. That he wants her to continue pleasuring herself, and actually wants to sit and watch while she does it, but then sees that he isn't in complete control of her at that moment and snaps. Then he fucks her and degrades her, then plants a kiss between her shoulder blades, then degrades her some more. Scary shit, right there. Author's Response: I think what I wanted more than anything was to show the compelling/repellent (you'll see that again shortly) side of his psychosis. The very thing that excited him also enrages him, which excites him. It's a vicious dangerous cycle that will tear him apart. | |||

| God, the first four words of the story get my heart racing no matter how many times I read it. I love how you describe Severus as "the Judas". Completely fitting for this story. How he was feared and mistrusted by those closest to him. "Her space was gone; it was as if she had never been there." I don't know why this hits me so hard, but it does. It's as if she didn't play such a big role in the war, as if she was just another castoff. It is so hard to read Severus as such a mean, uncaring, ruthless man. It is not how I picture him, yet the way you write him seems completely in character at the same time. The change in him from being so, for lack of a better word, evil, to almost caring while he is rubbing salve onto her skin is so alarming. And then the sudden change... That man always keeps me on my toes. Author's Response: Oh, Pink, I love getting reviews from you! You always pick out my favourite bits! It's funny; I started writing this, and DMuse just took over and I was taking dictation - now you know what a pussy cat he usually is - I don't know what was on his mind with this one, but I loved writing it! | |||

| Ouch, but what a lovely resolution and end. Nicely done. :) Author's Response: Thank you! | |||

| Huh,
I love your writing.
The stories are so very intense.
Thank you Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you took a chance with this one. In spite of it's less than savoury beginning, this was a lot of fun to write! | |||
