	It must take persistence to get through Snape's defences -- good on Regulus! This isn't a pairing I've read much of at all, and I enjoyed your take on it. Great stuff :) (Reply to this)

	Aw, this was such a treat. (And I hasten to say I don't mean "aw" in a patronising way. There is just something about Regulus Black in this pairing that makes me want to coo and ruffle his hair. g) I love the way you've written him here, with his persistence and his confidence and his fondness for Severus. Well done! (Reply to this)

You do a really excellent Severus, and your portrayal of Regulus is fun and convincing, too. I like the way they mature through the years and how Regulus manages to head off every one of Severus's suspicious insecurities and doubts and sneering defenses. I also like how plausibly the fic fits into the cracks of canon.

Beneath his arrogant attitude were a calculating mind and layers of subtlety that his idiot brother could never hope to possess.
The attraction is perfectly clear!

I do love the fact that JKR leaves so many canon bodies undiscovered -- it means we can have believable stories like this one.

	There is something ironic and endearing about Regulus pursuing (and protecting) Severus all that time and finally waiting him out. Really nicely done. (Reply to this)

	Regulus has far more patience than I'll ever have. Then again, Severus is most definitely worth waiting for. It's good to see them both have a happy ending after everything that happened. (Reply to this)

Regulus lifted his head, his dark eyes staring pointedly at the parchment where it was once again touching Severus before he shifted his gaze to Severus'. "Perhaps if you'd answer the question, the charm would wear off."

Blinking in confusion, Severus actually looked at the parchment. Written in a loopy script were the words Hogsmeade? Behind The Three Broomsticks, noon? ...Date?

LOL – I startled my neighbor when I read these two paragraphs. That is just too cute, and unexpected.

I love this and especially the ending -

"Please do remember that your position is probationary. If it weren't for you, I'd be quite happily enjoying my afterlife." …

"Do you not see all the children, Professor Black? This is most definitely hell."

That is just perfectly Severus. Bravo!
