The reason I came back to this story:
I love your story. It is very different from anything I've ever read with snape, but it is also familiar. I love the gentle OC, and I have hopes that it will end happily.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review! This story has a special place in my heart because stylistically it was very different from anything I've done. I'm glad you're enjoying it. |

I think this story was beautifully written and lovingly designed. The blend of Scheherazade's and Chaucer's story-telling techniques is very effective.
Dumbledore, however, is totally out of character. He would never have let sleeping dragons dream...he would have worked his wand off trying to make everyone dance to his tune and follow his plots.
Thanks for writing. Given the quality of her later books, it's not hard to write better than Rowling.
Author's Response: Thank you for the review! Canon Dumbledore does seem to keep things in a flurry, but I'm not as sure about the ten years between Voldemort's death and Harry's arrival at school. It's an interesting thought... suppose Dumbledore had tried to speed up the schedule and had brought the Philosopher's Stone to Hogwarts a few years earlier... |

I absolutely adored this little tale of yours! I suppose one of the things which made it such a creditable story is the fact that Lily is mentioned, and that he feel somewhat guilty over "getting over" her so quickly.. You see, I always tend to feel rather guilty whilst reading a story where our dear Severus isn't quite himself (for example if he couldn't care less about Lily). I suppose that all the other things I found endearing in this story are all listed, furthermore I can only apologize for writing such a long comment (haha), congratulate you on writing this beautiful story and receiving so many views, it truly is one of the best ones out there. I hope to be able to reed more beautiful stories from you in the future
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I always leave some understanding of Lily in my stories about Snape. He usually comes to some sort of understanding about it, but I always start with his love for her being firmly in place. |

I really liked the fairy tale flavor of this. I might characterize it as "sweetly Slytherin." Kalinda is subtle and gentle, but she gets what she wants in the end by using persuasion, encouragement, and nudging. She's so good Severus often doesn't even realize he's being manipulated, or if he does, he doesn't care. Maybe that's the real reason he came to prefer Kalinda to Lily: They're snaky soulmates. Dumbledore could learn from her.
Author's Response: Thank you again for reading my story and reviewing! Yes, Severus appreciates and responds to the way Kalinda manouvers him. She doesn't lecture, the way Lily would; she develops the situation until he decides it's the best way anyhow. Thank you, again! |

Lovely exotic flavor to the story. I have a little trouble buying Severus agreeing to the marriage without entirely knowing the terms of the deal but it is nice to see him have a happy ending.
Author's Response: That's a fair point about his acquiescence. My excuse is that I had to keep it under 10k words, LOL. Then, too, we're more than a little AU here and this is a slightly different Snape. I love giving him happy endings. He gets so kicked by the canon. Thank you for reading and reviewing! |

Very nice. I can't speak for other readers as to why the hit count in higher. I haven't been on this site in a while, but TPP has a really long queue. So I came over hear looking for something to read.
Author's Response: LOL! I hear that. There's some great stuff over there, though. I'm glad you enjoyed this story. Thank you for reviewing! |

I love this story! The OC character is quite believable and charming and I love the Arabian Nights flavor to it. Please continue.
Author's Response: Thank you for the review! I'm glad you liked it. As for a continuation... we'll see. |

I LEKD THIS STORY, BECAUSE IT WAS TOLD ALMOST LIKE A FAIRY TALE OR ARABIAN NIGHTS TALE. A FOLLOW UP STORY WOULD BE NICE. LIKE WHERE THEY FIND AND DESTROY THE HORCRUX AND SS CHILDREN GROW UP TO THEIR POWERS.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review! I'm glad you liked the feel of the story. I'll have to see if I can write more about this family. |

This was a nice story. The intrigue and exoticism might have been a draw, but the ending was a bit rushed. Maybe you could do a follow up story?
Author's Response: Thank you for reviewing! I agree about the ending. I'm beginning to think I'll have to write some connected stories to make up for that. |
