I can't for the life of me remember if I've reviewed before, so just for good measure, I'll do it now. I love your stories! This one was marvellous, and I'm going crazy hoping for more updates of your fantastically twisted fic over at Ashwinder. I continue to look forward to more from you.
Wow. Merlins purple pointy hat. I cried with laughter, I cried with sadness and I cried with joy. When I thought Remus was dead I couldn't stop even when I found out he was alive (he is so my favourite). Gods I think i'm dehydrated. There are no words to express. I am truely in awe. I sat at my computer for a good 10 minutes before writing this completely stunned. (Not trying to give you a big head, honest.) I am so glad this was finished when I started reading because if it wasn't I'm not sure I could have been held accountable for my actions. Gods I wish I was Rosmary. lol. This really is fanastic work, thank you for the opportunity to read it.

Still loving every word, babe. One recommendation, though: You've got a MASSIVE SPOILER in your chapter summary for this one!!! Fortunately, I didn't see it before reading the chapter, but possibly some readers (like me) who did not follow your fic while it was in progress, but rather found it in its completed form much later, will see your summaries and have all the tension you've worked so hard to create, go flying out the window! Gah! We don't want that. :) Just a thought. *skips off to keep reading*
*waxes philosophical* I can't tell you how delighted I am with your lycanthropy / civil rights / AIDS / discrimination in general analogies. I almost wish JKR would make more of that in the books. My favourite part of the PoA movie is Lupin's speech at the end, about parents not wanting "someone like him" teaching their children. You've really done a wonderful job of using this character to say many meaningful things to the fandom about rights for minority groups. As a member of one myself, I very much applaud you. :)
“The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures supports traditional wizarding values. Wizarding Marriage is now, and will always be, defined as a union between a witch and a wizard." *cackles madly* Ahahah, GENIUS!
Oh, honey, that was beautiful. Not overly sappy. Not cheesy. Just delicate and perfect in tone. I don't cry easily, but there are most definitely tears in my eyes right now! *sniff*
Oh god oh god oh god! She's wickedly pregnant. *bites nails nervously*
This story still has me hooked. And now this hook of sexual frustration between them that's gone on for a few chapters! It's driving me nuts. Which is complimentary to you, of course! Very well-written sexual tension. Now, will Remus stop being a prat and shag her again, already?!
Wow! This is a great story! When I first started looking for HP fanfic, this is what I was after! It's got my favorite character, finally getting to have the life he deserves, yay! Can't wait to read the others!
*whispers* Is it horribly blasphemous to start shipping Rosemary/Snape after this chapter? *snickers* OK, it is. :)
Wow. Just... wow. I am completely drawn into this story now. Feminist fanfic??! I never thought I'd live to see the day. The sex scene in this chapter is hotter than blazes, and then the fight between them is just so... *real*. Remus really did screw the pooch on this one, yet you've written it so well that one can totally understand his point of view -- it never occurred to me (just as it never occurred to him) when he was giving her the potion that he should tell her Snape had the antidote. And GOOD FOR HER for giving him *what for* about it!
Enter Snape, my second favourite character? *makes popcorn, gets comfortable*
Sweet jesus, these last few chapters are wickedly hot. You made a great choice with the massive repercussions awaiting them if they copulate without the sheath -- the sexual tension is amazing! I can't wait till she's bloody not fertile and he can shag her senseless. :)
Oh my god! *is almost crying* I've read my fair share of Remus fic, but I've never seen such an emotion-inducing portrayal of the discrimination against him until this chapter. Bravo.
*groans* Ohhhhhh, I *promised* myself not to get involved in any more multi-chaptered works -- or I'll never get anything else done in my life! But you had such kind words about my fics that I just had to at the very *least* check out your first chapter. And now... you guessed it: I'm hooked. The Muggle who repels magic is a very interesting idea! I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes. :)
i just wanted to let you know how much i enjoyed this story. i usually don't go for the many chaptered fanfics but after chapter 1 i was hooked. you write wonderfully and you characterization was perfect.
Fantastic story. Absolutely the best I've read. A truly original, fully formed tale. Well written, excellent dialogue, brilliant idea. Thanks for sharing it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. +++++
I discovered the first chapters of your story here on Wolfsbane, and became so caught up with it I just had to go finish it on AFF.net. I had to wait to review it, as I wanted to include in the review a spoiler: what about the Severus/Snape side of the story? Now I see the story is finished here as well, and to my great surprise, and delight, I find that another fic concerning that precise aspect is already on the way! So I'm rushing back to Ashwinder to discover it. Thank you for being such an excellent writer!
Oh I cant believe it! This story has really made me feel an array of things. I´ve laughed, I´ve wept, I´ve been enraged...one of the few good fics out there. I´m so glad I read this.
“Your wife is the one who taught her the spell and encouraged her to cast it on you. If you’re not happy, take it up with her. Personally, I’m impressed that Jellybean can cast an Inflamare at her age. She’s destined for great things.”
Snape? married? to whom? (must be Hermione...who else would teach a kid the inflamare?)
and i HAVE been reading dungeons...but you've been slacking, havent you? *grin* Cheers to a great story!
Completely enjoyed this story! Looking forward to updates of "Dungeons". Never really saw the appeal of Lupin before, but I sure do now! Found your story through Melpomene Erato's notes in her SS/OFC story.
This has been an excellent story. I will look forward to the next one. Will it be posted on ashwinder, since it's Severus and Hermione? I'll keep an eye out. Nicely done.
I first read Outcasts over on AFF and never got around to reviewing it there (terrible of me, I know!), but now that I've found it again and read it a fourth (!) time I had to take the opportunity to rave about it. It is, without a doubt, my favorite fanfic ever and Rosemary is the only OC I've ever loved as much as a real character. I laughed, I cried, I came back for more. Thank you so much for the hard work and fabulous writing...now get to work on that sequel! :)
Really good story. Too bad about your matching Snape with Hermione in a sequel. I could have plugged my Hufflepuff as the nameless "wife" you mention here.
