-----------

At first when I found this story from FanFiction, I thought this story is going to be a big fiasco.   Harry marries Snape against  his will, and thy'll fall in love in three chapters. 

I WAS WRONG. 

This story was like a drug for me.  I've spent so much time just waiting for miss Josephine Dracy to write again, sadly she hasn't... That's why her awesome fans have written dosens of alternative endings for this epic story.   First one I read was Lynne's AU ending from FanFiction

Josephine Dracy's Original The Marriage Stone: 

'"This is ridiculous!" Hermione exclaimed in frustration. "I mean Harry hardly needs another legal guardian! Doesn't seem fair. He's old enough to get married, but he's not old enough to live on his own!"

Several heads shot up at that, sharp gazes staring at Hermione in amazement. "What?" she said in surprise taking a step back at the scrutiny.

"Hermione Granger, you are brilliant!" Dumbledore exclaimed.'

It really seems like it's going to be all Twilight-ish crap, but Miss Dracy saves the whole plot with as simple things as making Harry and Snape hate eachother, Snape is still that ugly yellow teethed nagging potions master and Harry.... he's the same foolish Gryffindor whos ready to do anything to save his friends.  Brilliant. 

So, it turns out Severus Snape is the Bond-mate of Harry Potter, and they get married to protect Harry from Fudge.  Oh boy, it's going to be awesome!   Only moment I really didn't enjoy as much as the rest of the story was  Snape's family.  In actual HP books Snape didn't have siblings. Just father and mother.  In TMS Snape has three brothers and sister, seemed little ridiculous but for the plot they were necassary. 

 

And then. Then Miss Dracy just stops writing.  Some one says her Father/Brother/Uncle had a cancer and he died.  Someone says  she just got fed up with writing.  Noone knows for sure what happened- at least it seems to be so.SPOILER!!SPOILER!!SPOILER!!SPOILER!!SPOILER!!SPOILER!!SPOILER!!SPOILER!!SPOILER!!  In the highlight of the whole story. After the attac of Voldemort,  Harry has drained all his magic to save everyone.   Harry has fallen in coma, and won't wake up, no matter what.  And that's it.    She leaves a hole to fill.  That's the end of her writings. So sad. So Sad.

Lynne's AU ending: 

It started so well, but after forcing myself to read 43 chapters of it my interest towards it helplessly died.   Only thing that happened in Hogwarts and betfeen Snape and Harry felt little confusing and REALLY boring.   Hogwarts is full of muggles and  Squibs... and Snape is doing something random with the roses in his manor with neville and suddently the reader is with  Aunt Petunia and her weird wizard 'friends'. I don't know what else to call them.  Then another thing that made me really bored and somewhat annoyed with the story: HArry's and Snape's relationship made progress to fast. Suddenlty they get rid of the Dark Mark and then *poof* Let's give blowjobs eachother. I really didn't like it at all.    So, I stopped reading it after about 50 chapters.   

+/-

+Auspicious start

-Harry and Snape's relationship makes too much progress

-Boring

-Too many muggles and Petunia

-

And then YebGirl's Ending

Ah. This is so much better, than Lynne's.  I really mean it.  YenGirl writes like miss Dracy, realistically and  patient.   Everything is smooth expect some silly moments and SPOILER!!SPOILER!!SPOILER!! Lupin's and Sirius' marriage.    

Only thing that I was really disappointed with was how the story ended.   SPOILER!! SPOILER!!SPOILER!!SPOILER!!

"Do you remember what I told you last week, about masturbation?" 

Yes. This is how the story is going to end.  They're talking about masturbation.  I was so DISAPPOINTED.  Feels bad... Really bad. 

But still, this is one of the best endings I have read.   (I have read many- too many alternative endings for TMS)

+/-

+Realistic

+Writingstyle close to miss Dracy

+Patient

--Ending

--Veird marriage of Lupin and Sirius ORION Black.  Really?!

 

It's really hard to write rewiews in English.  I hope I make progress so others can understad, what the hell I'm babbing here. :D
