*fans self*

That was hot, in all the best ways, and sad and mysterious and lovely.

I want to know where Severus has been all these years and what Ron thinks Hermione is doing the nights she spends away, what Hermione thinks of their marriage and why she's still in it. You have truly left me wanting more. Well done.

Yay! It's good to know that the sex still did its job in between all the angst. The story overall has a melancholy tone, I think, but that doesn't mean the sex can't be hot. :)

Thanks for reading, enjoying, reviewing, and wanting more! I could answer those questions - at least how I envision it - but I think too many practicalities might get in the way.

The special art of the drabble is implying the existence of backstory without ever letting it show. The mystery is part of what makes this so good. That and the brilliantly original use of runes as a sexual device.

I absolutely agree about drabbles, and that's a great way of putting it. It's all about a moment (or series of moments), and when you're in the moment, backstory may be relevant, but it's not what's happening at that precise second.

As for the runes... If Harry and Ron had realized such a thing was possible, I imagine they would have added another class at Hogwarts. :)

Which is why I'm such a purist and insist on the 100 word drabble only, accept no substitutions!

It would have been the most popular class at Hogwarts, LOL!

I'm with you on that. I LOVE reading drabble series, but they are still arranged in 100 word increments. I think anything longer (that still calls itself a drabble) tends to lose focus.
