It's a wonderful relief to find out that this monster story of mine hasn't managed to put you off my writing forever. Most of the people who love this story claim that very sense of... connection... with Severus' character as the reason why they enjoy it so much.
I agree with you on the point that their pace is very slow. Even now that you are on chapter 19 already I suppose it's obvious to see that they are nowhere near ready to be "properly" together yet. They'll get there, of course, but it won't be smooth sailing...
This story is being translated into both Vietnamese and Spanish at this point. I had a Russian translator back off on it at the last second because it's really very hard to translate. Every translator who has ever approached me ends up complaining that my stories are very difficult to work with and this is a very long story, so... I can understand how making that sort of decision will require not only a lot of courage, but also a lot of forethought.
I'm genuinely pleased that you are enjoying it so far. Thank you for taking the time to send me your thoughts about it. I'm extremely attached to this story because it was the first snarry that I ever wrote and it's also my longest work so far.

Take care for now, pat.
