| Fairy tales have always appealed to me. I am a hopeless romantic, and I do enjoy the way you characterized Severus. A romantic that finally gives in. Thank you for sharing. Author's Response: Thank you so much for your review! Yes, I think he's got a deep romantic streak. That's why he fancied Lily to begin with and why he kept loving her for so long. I also think that under the right circumstances, that romantic streak might notice other options. ;) | |||

| I like the fairy tale style of the introduction. I also think it's funny that, despite appearing to be meek and submissive, the girl starts controlling Snape even before she's married to him. Dumbledore is his usual cheerfully manipulative self. Author's Response: LOL! This was one of the hardest stories I ever wrote because the tone and style are so different from my normal way of thinking. I'm glad it came off well. As for Kalinda, she's got mad skills at using her femininity, doesn't she? ;) Thank you for the review! | |||

| I have read several of your stories, and I think that this one is just better because it is familiar, in that it is a fable format, in the Arabian Nights style, which is simple but charming. (And some people don't like long stories, although I do.) Perhaps the draw is Kalinda playing Scheherazade, with her nightly stories, as a means to seduce Severus, (it is a SS archive, so I imagine most of the readers can easily imagine themselves in Kalinda's place, although I would have liked it even better if you would have made something of the comparison between Kalinda's eyes and Snape's patronus). Plus, there is an additional element standard to fanon in Dumbledore's bullying Severus into marrying the girl, (so its forced-marriage fic). The question now is, how does Severus' relationship change the rest of the story? Kalinda would have an effect on how Snape treats HP, and how he is received by Voldie, once TDL returns. and also how it affects Snape's devotion to Dumbledore. (I can't see a happily married man being as cruel to HP without prompting from V, which would have a different flavor than actual animosity.) Plus, a husband and father has more to lose than a bereft man castigating himself for causing his unrequited love's death, and something to live for, (which would alter the memories he gives to HP to some extent, as he is not as guilty, or as devoted to Lily as he was, so Dumbledore would have to find some other way to convince HP to sacrifice himself at V's hands (and thus kill the the bit of V's soul within him. And since Snape's child was born the year after Lily was killed, it would be about two years younger than HP, and would be at the school the year after Ginny. Author's Response: Thank you for the thoughtful review! I haven't really thought of a sequel to this, but I sort of envision something very AU, with more Arabian Nights stories in which Snape goes to find the Horcruxes and he and Dumbledore destroy them. That would still leave the snake and the scar in Harry's forehead, but it wouldn't take seven years to deal with those. I agree that Snape wouldn't be quite so evil to Harry; after being happily married for so many years in between, he wouldn't feel quite so much animosity. Thank you, again! | |||
