Good to see a new story from you! I'm hoping this tale might be less sexually explicit than Re-Ordered; I wasn't in your target audience for that one.

(Ah, just noted the rating; 'R' rather than Re-Ordered's 'NC-17'! Fingers crossed)

Poor Hermione!! Everyone close to her dead, except Luna and Harry, the latter of whom has disappeared. Which I'm a bit angry about. I guess the obvious suspicion is that Brother Z is Harry in disguise, but I hope not - or that it's not that simple - as I'd hate to think that he would lie to Hermione, or hide from her in that way.

The idea of Harry having to 'get away' is at odds with that of Harry having strong affection for Hermione, since the urge to flee has proven superior to any love he might have for her. I can't help but wonder why she didn't join him, or if there wasn't some way for them to be together while allowing him to recover. But maybe this will allow Harry to mature, make any ultimate relationship even more satisfying (assuming/hoping that they do get together by the end).

This reminded me a bit of your 'A Very Nasty Case', which I really enjoyed. The idea of Harry and Hermione finding comfort in each other, with all their other friends gone, is quite a powerful notion. Of course, you have Luna in this story as well.
