You are right. This is also very nicely done. Written in a slightly different style. The pairing is interesting too even if I am partial to Severus. Nice.
Author's Response: :-D I'm so happy you liked it. The pairing lent itself nicely to a little experiment in style, but unlike HG/SS I don't think it holds up
for more than a one-shot. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing my little orphan story.

I like how she tells her tale in preparation to repeat the experience ... the spell works, I'm hardly able to find suitable words here :-)
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it. There is a wee bit of magic also in the act of suggestion ;-)

This is a very beautifully written story, very lyrical. It's also kind of sad, but sweet. Love the ending.
Author's Response: 'Once and never again', yes, I suppose it is a bit bittersweet. I'm so happy you found it lyrical. That was really a compliment. Thank you reading and reviewing!

Age and experience hone many of the skills that belong to the bedchamber but I am inclined to think that the young kiss better. Where older men, and women, are focused on getting into bed, young people seldom go beyond kissing and therefore treat the subject with the passion and fervency it deserves. Quite unlike the seasoned veteran who only sees it as a fence to jump on his way to greener pastures.
This is beautiful; such a truism. I fell in love with the entire story, and there are other lines nearly as good as this one...but this is destined to be a classic line. You should feel quite proud of yourself!
Author's Response: Dryad, thank you for your wonderful compliment.

I just need to say, that something like what you've written, could be taken so wrong, could be seen as something sick...if written by someone else or in a more general manner. But you did this wonderfully, I have never said this about a story of such nature...but it was beautiful. You're a talented writer, and I thought it was in a sense, flawless. Amazing job.
Author's Response: The challenge said 'Most Unconventional Pairing' and I sense from your review that I did hit on something rather unconventional. I am very pleased that you found it beautiful. Thank you for your honesty and your praise [author blushing happily].

wow-that story was really well done. I enjoyed the conversational tone, the pace of the story and the authentic voice of the woman. You wove her vanity into the story in a way which shows she might not recognize it in herself, but the reader is able to. The writing was tight and the story enjoyable. Good job
Author's Response: Thank you so much! That was a wonderful compliment. I am especially glad that you thought she felt authentic as I spent a lot of time trying to give her a touch of the distance usually gained with age without making her sound detached, bored or snotty. Thanks again. This review made my day :-)

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story. It was very well done and emotionally drawing. I did notice however, on big typo that needs to be corrected. about a third of the way through, "exited" should be excited.
This was a well done story and I will be watching for more from you.
Author's Response: Typo fixed! Thanks for letting me know. I'm so pleased that you liked the story. A fluffy one-shot for Ashwinder is in progress and will hopefully be published sometime early autumn (if my beta approves of it). Thanks for reading and reviewing!

What a wonderfully written story! It is nice to read something with a sexually strong female lead who is over 18 years old. I'm not sure that I'm willing to qualify 44 as a "mature woman" though, or for that matter 35!! As would we all, I prefer to think of mature woman as someone at least a decade older than me,perhaps two, lol! I enjoyed it, thank you.

Author's Response: Thank you! I think she is considering herself mature in comparison to Bill and his classmates. But now that you mention it I realise the word is used as an euphemism for old these days. Those nuances are easy to miss when writing in a foreign language (English is not my first language).
I'm glad you liked the theme. Women past 18 have a sex-life too, and personally I find that ones skills and enjoyment improves over the years... ;-)
Thanks again for reading and reviewing.
