Wow, that was beautiful! And I disagree that you don't have a plot, the scene order simply conceals it.

OH MY GOD. *FLAILS ABOUT WILDLY*

This! THIS BEAUTIFUL AMAZING FIC!

This is the Snape/Tonks I've been looking for, that I've wanted forever. This is the story I've been dying to read. It's everything I could possibly ask for. Everything. I love the way you've interwoven canon and how you've worked with it and twisted it just slightly and it's perfect. Absolutely and totally perfect.

The way you develop the relationship is wonderful--I love that it starts entirely with sex, and I love how possessive Snape becomes and I love that he pushes her away (the scene at Hogwarts from HBP!) and I love that Tonks doesn't give up.

And Teddy! Oh, I was hoping, I was so hoping and I love you so much for that. SO MUCH.

And the tattoos! LOVE. That you tied them into the Russian criminal tattoos (and as an aside--Snape's grandmother! *FLAILS*) just made me squee madly and A BUTTERFLY, YES. That's perfect.

As is the structure. I love going back and forth in the timeline--it works so gorgeously well. OH AND THE SEX, DID I MENTION? HOT. GUH.

This is the best [info]smutty_claus gift I could have gotten. Thank you so much. Seriously. I just. I've read it twice and now I'm going to read it again and I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. THANK YOU.

I cannot wait to find out who wrote this because I want to fangirl you madly.

This is marvelous. It's beautifully written, and fleshed out and wonderfully paced.
Also, smokingly hot!

Aside from the ending, which was just perfect, my favourite part was the Russian prison tattoos. It was sweet without being smarmy and it fit so, so well.

Wow, just amazing. Beautifully tied together, and so damned sweet. Snape was so conflicted, and GOOD, and trying so hard to hold it together. And Tonks was so clever and needy and GOOD, and wow. I loved this.

This was absolutely fantastic! I agree with Femme; this is the Snape/Tonks fic that I've wanted to see. It warms my heart to see this pairing getting so much love lately. <333 LOVE IT.

This is so wonderful. I love the way everything you do fits so cleverly with the book timeline. I never thought much about Tonks before, but I really love her now. Thanks for this great story!

I liked this! Severus's "death" scene was perfect. Disjointed, just as his POV would be, and vivid, and providing a counterpart to canon that I've been unknowingly craving. And you took care of any lingering doubts I had had about the beginning, which had seemed a little off, at the very end.

I adore details, so your "spell-toed boot" made me happy. So did lines like:

Yet here was the potential he had sown in his own misspent youth, enacted on the flesh of a boy he was meant to protect, and by another boy he was meant to protect.

"Or that I am parenthetical," he suggested. "Since they are both open."

We shall not be enacting rodent sex in any way, shape or form tonight.

Thank you!

Wow, that was nothing short of amazing. I almost didn't read this, I'm not a fan of Snape/Tonks, but I am SO GLAD that I did!

I'm not particularly fond of Tonks as a character, but you did a wonderful job on this fic. Will be reccing on my IJ. Thanks for a lovely read :-)

OMG. OMG. Wow. I *loved* this. I've never read a Snape/Tonks that made me believe it so thoroughly as you just did. The out-of-order scenes worked beautifully, and I loved how it ran through canon, and... *flails* So much love!

Wonderful job! If I didn't know who the author was, I would've thought it was Femme herself who wrote this -- the Russian prison tattoos especially seem like something she would dream up. :) Love the way that the end with Teddy is forshadowed with Severus and Lucius's conversation earlier.

Goddammit, I spent all day reading this! And I have other things I should be reading and writing. Yet, every time I told myself to put it aside or work on other things or even speed up and skim...no. Couldn't happen. The story is too damn brilliant. How dare you make me read het and not get things done and like Tonks with your all-around excellent writing?! I hate you! Nyah! :P

(all kidding aside, this was nothing less than the best Snape/Tonks I've ever read - and it is a pair I indulge in whenever I run across it. Thank you so much for writing and sharing! ♥)

love, lore

This is completely fantastic. Snape/Tonks is not a pairing I would normally read, but I am so glad that I did. I loved seeing them come together, and even the reveal at the end was satisfying - so glad that things worked out for the two of them.

Who the heck wrote this?! I must know. I don't have a JF account but I reviewed it as mysduende on LJ. FABULOUS writing. Haven't read anything that worth while in ages - and haven't even done Snape/Tonks since before she became a simpering Lupin piner in HBP.

I followed a convoluted path to get to your story. I'm not certain I remember the steps anymore. I don't ordinarily read het but this intrigued me.

That said, this is a most fantastic story! The way you skip forward and backward in time keeps the reader on their toes. Tonks is so intriguing here, fleshed out so much better than in cannon. And Severus is his snarky, cunning self as ever. Wonderful writing!

I'm jillypooh from InsaneJournal and LiveJournal as well.

Oh, this fic was a treat, from beginning to end and I thank you for it from the bottom of my Snape-loving heart. It has enough plot to more than suit and it is very clear how much you like these characters as you make them live and breathe. What a lovely holiday gift, one I shall re-read for a long time to come. Thank you so much, mystery author. I shall not only rec this, but friend you, if I am not friended to you already.

Wow, wow, wow. What an amazing fic! As others have said, Snape was so IC it hurt, and I adored the way you slipped this fic into the holes in canon. And your Tonks! *applauds* You made her loving without being weak, and clumsy without being ridiculous. Really enjoyed this.

This was wonderful! I absolutely love the Tonks seduction, the denial that there's anything more, the hints that he should realize there is indeed more, and most of all, both of them surviving and Teddy turning out to be Severus' son!! Excellent, excellent fic!

Wah! And then they all lived happily ever after. . . with numerous temper flares and much snarkiness.

I'd never considered these two together, but you made it work beautifully!
