About the FOAF:
I almost missed the FOAF...but I already read it. I love it. you put the Ken Loach thing!
I really love the FOAF's you write, they are a very good soothing, while Nilsia comes back.
Recommendation: don't eat while reading, your lunch will end up cold and you will end up hungry, but unable to stop reading.
About The Stirring:
As Nilsia is still quite busy, but she said she will be back soon. I officially left my plea on the following topics:
1- I need to know the reaction of the people in the order if they heard or catch a glimpse of something in Rosin that would give them away.
2. A POV from Sanpe about everything that's going on, with the bonus of screwing Black. Because clearly Snape has to rub it in his face, as it pleases her.
3. Remaining I want to know what the Christmas surprise is... I still think he's cooking up something with Mr. Wesley.

I finished my FOAF and just published it on Ao3 - it's called Muffliato and it's under laru ( /works/45770461 if this link works)
Give it a read!
Lingerer: these are all excellent points. She's in a tough position - can she ever have a relationship with someone who isn't Magically Mature? But she also doesn't always like Snape... so there is that between them. And you're right, he does position himself as a villain more than he actually is one...
Les-Euphories: I'm just about to comment on your FOAF - yay!
Nilsia: can we have an update soon?

I just wrote a short fic about what happened after Snape left, based on the thought that he didn't use Muffliato when they were together.
I don't know whether or not he used the spell, and I too want to see the reactions, if he didn’t. This chapter, absolutely wonderful, and I've been trying to find the words to explain how much I love it!

It's interesting to see her view him as a 'just a man', what a change from the normal space~ between them. It always makes me ache in embarrassment when she begins to feel emotional attachment to him after sleeping with him, when any woman does (in literature especially)- because yesss... it's totally understandable as sex is very intimate, but even from behind the screen I fear for her any rejection, sadness, and humiliation. I want to save our heroine's feelings! Totally natural of her, but I'm nervous as we dip into 'liking Snape' territory, even though it's healthier than how they started off. But then again, one can argue that having started the way they did that feelings coming out of this can't ever be healthy and ethical because it was, after all, a very forced situation. He'll maintain himself the villain, as he tends to outside of this arrangement anyway, and she'll try to see good in him... Oof, I wonder how it'll go! I hope she'll be alright and feelings are spared :))) but angst is a good story addition I know

Re-reading chapter 42 while listening to Lana del Rey was a religious experience.

Oh, boy. Three weeks to the day since our last update. Hopefully we'll at least get a profile update soon so we know she hasn't been eaten by rabid ferrets or anything.

2/26/2023 c42 ahhhh sorry
okay, Imma be 100% for realsies, my anxiety has beeen off the fucking charts bad. And i've been rereading and rereading this fic. (completely no pressure) but this has helped me take my mind off my somatic symptoms and help me just exist in between anxiety attacks. Nilsia and support group thank you so much for creating a wonderful community full of magic and mystery (and yes smut). i hope chapter 43 comes out soon so the community can continue to flourish as with every update

You’re a woman of culture. Not to be…. Obscene, but you literally had me dripping wet with this chapter! I’m bookmarking this to come back to forever.

Floop...FOAF. FOAF! I want you to imagine that in a zombie voice, with dead figures creeping ever closer, uttering a guttural "FOAF!" instead of "BRAINS!"
They do make fog in the United States, they just don't make it in the desert! I have since seen fog a few times, travelling, but never at home - and certainly nothing that deserves the solemn title "haar," which to me sounds hilarious and Scandinavian, like roving bands of Vikings would infiltrate the Nene and shout out "Haar!" sometime in the 11th century.
We do have rattlesnakes, though. And bitchin' pink AR-15's distributed at birth. Almost as good as your BOYS wandering through the corridors.
A different experience indeed ;)
Sonderful: Totally agree. The Boarding School genre was totally unknown to me until Harry Potter, too. I always appreciate your posts, your unfortunate status as an East Coaster notwithstanding (kidding, kidding!)
Laura & Magdaline - ahh! Your comments on Roisin's hickey (or whatever the kids call it these days) are killing me.
Ahhhhhh sorry - Never be sorry. Keep posting. I love your commentary.
Support group at large - I should be able to say something more profound, but it's escaping me at the moment. Thank you for being here between updates and please, please keep the conversation going. Bonus points for FOAFs. It's all sorely needed.

Quarantine Blues: I am shook! You're never seen fog? Ever? This is crazy to me. They must have fog somewhere. I have seen it in films - or just San Francisco perhaps. In Scotland we have a special time of fog that rolls in from the sea called 'haar' that can sometimes be impenetrable. It was fun when you were on the top deck of a double decker bus going to work in the morning and you can't see anything.
"Our *assemblies* we're big pep rallies in the gym, where the pirinciPAL introduced a motivational speaker who told us that abstinence was cool. Then the cheerleaders did a little dance and we all went back to class just in time for our active shooter drills." Oh I'm sorry, this sounds tough. This really doesn't make sense to us in the UK, although we see it in films a lot I guess. I went to an all girls school (it was a boarding school but I didn't board) and we wore kilts and Japanese tourists would take pictures of us. Sometimes there would be A BOY! From the BOYS SCHOOL! In THE CORRIDOR! A simpler time. We spent all our lunch hour straightening our hair in anticipation OF BOYS. Very different experience. I really like boarding school stories - Enid Blyton, and the Chalet School. Odd little microcosms.
Sonderful: he did say that she was "exceptionally attractive" and she was very, very pleased! I think part of it is that Sirius goaded him, but also, she's more amenable to letting him touch her. He is very very careful of her boundaries. I was thinking about that, and it's really quite unusual in some ways.
Haha, poor Ken Loach.
I think my FOAF is half done. I hope we don't have to wait too long until chapter 43. I now divide my life in pre-Stirring, and post-Stirring. I need a new hobby. I bought a skipping rope. Pray for me.
