Intense. nice job.
I really like this story alot. Can you please write some more chapters?
Author's Response: Thanks for the feedback! I wasn't planning on writing any further with this as I think it's better as a one-shot than attempting to make any sort of lengthy story out of it - let's face it, it's hardly canon!
I really like this story alot. Can you please write some more chapters? Or can you write a sequel to this story please?
Author's Response: Glad you liked it! I wasn't planning on adding any more chapters as I prefer writing snapshots of the possibly-maybe...but may write more involving these two. Unfortunately a certain amount of canon-shifting has gone on with the release of HBP so who knows where my plot bunnies will take me next???
That was well written and very interesting. Awesome job!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review...glad you liked it!
Woah, intense! Any more where that came from...?
Author's Response: Hopefully, yes! I'm currently working on a mini-novel sized fic so PWP type stuff may have to sit on the back burner for a bit, but when my PWP Plot Bunny starts scratching, I'll start writing! Glad you enjoyed the fic, thanks for reviewing!
Definately interesting. Nice work.
Author's Response: Thanks for the comment! It's always nice to get reviews!
I can definitly see Draco being into BDSM, BUT I always pictured him to be the (closet)submissive.
Author's Response: It's an interesting idea, yeah, but I figured that Draco just loves having influence over others to be willing to give that up easily...there'd have to be a pretty good reason! Thank's for your comment xxx
wow. I never really saw Hermione as the BDSM type, but Draco? Definitely. I was a little leery at first of all the whips and chains, but this turned out to be one interesting read. i hope they do stay together... (btw, lol for that last bit in the bathroom)
Author's Response: No-one expects Hermione to be into the kink, but it's so damn psychological I can't see her not being into it in some way! Perhaps not as deep as I've written, but I think she needs some form of mental connection with someone she's going to be with! Thanks for your review xxx
BDSM, at least in it's healthiest state is rarely just one dominant and a submissive. Usually the tables are often turned to make sure that a healthy accomodation is made to the submissive as not to break their will or their self confidence. Especially with the type of dominant Draco seems to be, it would not do a submissive well to be so mistreated all of the time. It is severely unhealthy eventually to both parties.
The very idea that a submissive is constantly ripped and torn at and not treated with the respect due from the dominant is very self destructive.
The other thing I noticed is that there is no Key Word between herself and Draco. A word that Draco knows he's crossed the line, gone too far. That is the respect of the submissive, and from what I've seen thusfar, there isn't any in this story.

Author's Response: I apologise if my piece lead you to think that a submissive would survive being 'constantly' used in such a way. The reason I added that Hermione was not always used for sex, sometimes just as an object (like a footstool) was my way of trying to explain that it's not just the sex which ties a Dominant and a submissive together, but the power play inherent within. Therefore the question of her 'breaking' would not occur.
You're right, there is no safe word, something I believe every D/s scene should include. Draco doesn't go too far, doesn't cross the line with Hermione in this fic, and so there was no need to include her safe word. In real life, there should always be a safe word, you are absolutely correct. I hope that's cleared it up for you. Please feel free to respond if you still think there is an issue to address; I'm always happy to take your criticisms on board.
Author's Response: Edit: Since re-reading this review I have since added a mention of safe words. Thank you Dia for pointing it out, it was a significant oversight on my part!
