	Oh that was wonderful. I really love how you managed to fit so much of canon into the tale of their years long relationship. Really lovely-nice job. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	alisanne 2010-01-11 01:09 am UTC (link)
	Thank you, dear! I like to think that Kingsley would be perceptive enough to see through Severus' DE act and know him for who he really is. They had some rough times, but made it through. g (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I love getting a glimpse of younger Snape, so yay for starting this fic right at the end of the first war. I'm happy you decided to build up this relationship over such a long period of time. Reluctant!Snape/Persistent!Kingsley FTW! Great job weaving this into canon events. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	alisanne 2010-01-11 01:13 am UTC (link)
	Thank you! Yeah, I figured Snape's not the sort to jump into an intense relationship without a lot of buildup. And Kingsley definitely strikes me as the persistent type. :) Thanks again for taking the time to read and comment. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh very nicely done! I really liked the way the relationship - and the trust - developed between the two men, and I thought you did a particularly good job with showing them age...I could see them growing older (and mostly more mature g) as the sections progressed. Well done, mystery author. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	alisanne 2010-01-11 01:15 am UTC (link)
	Nice icon! admires Thanks so much, Beth. I tried really hard to show them as they matured, so I'm thrilled that came through. pleased (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I enjoyed reading this, especially the part from Dd's death until Severus woke again. I like how much, and how little, things changed over the years between them. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	alisanne 2010-01-11 01:16 am UTC (link)
	Thank you! And yes, it's funny how little things can make the biggest impact. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

Thank you for the lovely gift. I really like the way you show the characters growing and maturing, from the first scene when Snape is devastated and vulnerable, and Kingsley jumps in on his behalf for some reason he doesn't understand (but *we* do --g--), to Snape's being flabbergasted at the idea that he agreed to go drinking together, to the end when they can finally be together.

	I'm so pleased you enjoyed it, my dear! This is prolly the third time I've written this pairing, but it's definitely the longest story with them that I've done, and I really enjoyed the process. Thank you for your inspiring prompt, and I'm happy you enjoyed the story. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	cardigrl is very lucky. This ia wonderful story. I love the way Kingsley and Snape grow and mature (along with their relationship). You did a great job showing the passage of time and the effect that the changes in the world and the fight against Voldemort affected them and their relationship. And the ending is perfect.

	alisanne 2010-01-11 01:24 am UTC (link)
	Thank you, dear! I was a bit worried that the passage of time would be too...quick to be believable, if that makes sense, so I'm thrilled that what I did worked. glomps (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Thank you, my dear! And yes, Severus seems the type to need some nurturing. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	A thoughtful and considered approach to a pairing I secretly like. I enjoyed this very much - Kingsley's understated tone as the reader follows him through the years was really satsfying reading. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I've had this story in an open tab for almost a week now - so glad I had a chance to read it! I love the way you've woven their relationship into canon. And your happy ending, of course. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	alisanne 2010-01-11 01:27 am UTC (link)
	Thanks, darling! I do love trying to fit stories into canon, there's something satisfying about it, somehow. And yes, me and my classic happy ending. I have to have them, I'm afraid. g (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I LOVE the end! Just adore Kingsley loving Snape. I love how you were able to keep canon and yet tell a very fantastic story all your own. Wonderful!! (Reply to this) (Thread)

Oh, this story is just awesome! I love Severus/Kingsley, and you portrayed them both so perfectly. I adore the long relationship you let them have (yay!) and how their feelings deepen over the years.
The "they could find us any minute" up against the wall blowjob is hot as hell, and other things (like Kingsley kissing Severus' shoulder) are so tender they touch my heart.
The ending makes me especially happy, of course; this is one of the "All is well" scenarios I can live with. :D

	Thanks so much, sweetie! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it and thanks for the lovely comments. I had a lot of fun coming up with this, and I have always loved Kingsley so pairing him with Severus (who I adore) made lots of sense. :) beams (Reply to this) (Parent)
