I LOVE this story and am so glad that you are posting it here. It is almost impossible these days to get in to aff.net and this is definitely a story that needs to be shared. Estrilda
PS: I'm still convinced that your Rosemary is NOT a Mary Sue, and even if she was in some bizarre conniving way, I still like her.
Yeesh! This isn't going to be pretty. What a situation!
This chapter gave me goosebumps. Good work! I especially liked this: "A Snape would have better sense than to get involved with the likes of you." He couldn't resist the opportunity for a dig, could he?
oh my god!!! how many plot twists can you fit in one chapter! Poor Remus! but i bet its true love anyway...they'll just have to muddle till they find it out:). *sigh*
OK,but why did Snape leave his wand in front of her?
Frightfully romantic, but doomed to failure, I fear. Can’t wait to read Severus calling her a liar and whore now, considering the fact that they just administered their own ‘mark’ to each other.
"I see myself relaxing with my wife in a hot tub after a long day of teaching. I'm moving my hands all over her belly trying to feel the baby kick. The baby would be born into a world where Voldemort and his Death Eaters are defeated. - No, not defeated, dead. Completely and utterly destroyed. -- That would be perfect." Lofty aspirations, but no one deserves it like Lupin. Great chapter. Love hot baths.
WOW! Impressive chapter! I think you captured Snape perfectly... The "UNEXPECTED" was my favorite bit in this chapter. I thought it very in character.
You had me a little misty eyed here. I think Bill is a little taken with our little Ro. Hmmm.
‘…HALF-BLOOD WHORE DEFILING MY HOUSE BY LAYING DOWN WITH SUB-HUMAN FILTH!’ Ahem. Am I the only one who sees something in this? Ro isn’t a Muggle, is she? Aside from that little bit of drama, I wanted to say that this chapter was excellent. Foreplay was playful, and the deed written with skill. You seem to be going down the list of all my favorites. Let’s see what you come up with next!
I had to read bits twice, myself. I kept going 'they got a better exchange rate, what's going on here?' And then *slaps forehead* hello! Ro is a genius. Money alone can take you only so far. Can't wait to see what she thinks about the present!
Today he was going to Hogwarts to ask Severus Snape for a favor. I could almost hear the "dum, dum, dum," foreboding transition. I thought Ro's response was very funny, having wanted to do a little castrating myself.
Nothing like a well executed blow job to make my morning. THANKS!
Does the Florence Nightingale Effect have any relevance? I enjoyed the fact that he didn’t share this experience with Sirius. I don’t think that he would have understood and, in boyish chiding, would have undermined the significance of it—which was enormous, as it was probably the first affection that Remus allowed himself to accept. Lovely chapter!
“Like it? I love it. I love you. I hate that horrid sheath, but I love you.” I love the sentiment of this, the sort of casual declaration of a smitten man, and then the "OH GOD, WHAT DID I JUST SAY!" I can imagine him berating himself for saying it, way too early, not at all playing it cool.
Oh, you evil woman!!! I really liked the idea of the marking of the mate. and his whole attitude when he says he just wants more than the words...so incredibly sexy. *sigh* What a rotten cliffie to spring on us though!!!
Ahhhhh! Not fair! I stubled upon this web site this morning and was instantly hooked by your story. Such a cliff hanger! I am happy to know that this story is updated often. I never thought to read a Lupin romance. Great stuff!
Gah! Evil evil author! Anyway, I have to say I really enjoy this story. I haven't read many Lupin fics to date, but I like the way you've written him as passionate to the point of abandoning reason. Anyway, I've been up all night so I don't know what I'm saying, but thank you for the story. And update soon! I wanna know what's up with Ro!
Cliff hanger?!!?? Cliff hanger??!!?? Whyyyyyy? *sob*
I've just read a few chapter of "Outcast" and it one of the best Remus romance fics I have found. The idea that Rosemary is immune to magic is very original and I like it very much. I'm glad Remus is finally having some fun. Go Remus! The line about being on a date with James Bond was very witty, especially when Remus is oblivious to this Muggle icon. I will go and read some more now. Keep up the good writing.
TALK ABOUT A CLIFFY!!!!!! this is a great story! I love how Remus is actually happy! Must update soon! Am defenetly bookmarking this story and checking often for updates! Way to go! txs for the good read Christa
You know, I'm not too surprised about Lupin getting hooked on her so quickly because he's been so alone for so long. I can't really be surprised about Ro getting hooked on Lupin because she's an OC, and for all I know she just may be flaky in her romantic life (though she's pretty together in her career). So I guess, I'm just taking clues from your responses to reviewers about how they're so quick on their loves.
Um... one thing about the bath tub scene (which I enjoyed, dirty minded female that I am) Doesn't the water wash away the lady's lubrication so that copulation is kind of painful? (Anyone know how to get around that?)
Author's Response: This author is sitting back and smiling. Being an OC isn't a good enough reason to fall for him (at least in my stories). All I can say is "You'll see." The answers are in chapter 15 by the way, not 14 as I mistakenly said earlier. My bad.
It's funny you should say that about tub sex. I was just joking with another author the other day that tub sex, beach sex, shower sex, and up against the wall sex are always better in fiction than real life. :D
Well, you knew that had to come...what with her ability to get poeple to blurt out whats in their heads....
Now i just want to see what she says...
And i LOVE your characterization of Moody.
Author's Response: More of Moody to come. He is one of my FAVORITE characters to write. The basis of his somewhat protective relationship with Remus was explained in a chapter that I cut from the story. It was interesting to me, but it didn't add much to this tale.
This is really just so nice! I'd love to see Mr. & Mrs. Lupin out-maneuver the Ministry! Well written and heading in a a nice direction.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it. Keep in mind, she hasn't given him an answer yet. (I know, I'm evil)
This is riveting. Really fine writing, unexpected twists, a very compelling original character. I like her very much, and your Remus is mouth-watering. As is your Snape, but then I'm very partial to Snarky!Snape ... Thank you, and please WRITE MORE, I'm very much looking forward to it! -- Julie fortune
