INDEX for “beyond wandpoint” by gingerbred

Fandom: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
Pairing: Hermione Granger / Severus Snape
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Major Character Death, Rape/Non-Con

This is the journal for ‘beyond wandpoint’, a ridiculously long (it's over 800 K as of chapter 124b) Potterverse SS/HG serial. It takes place during Hermione’s seventh year, mostly at Hogwarts, and is an unapologetically snark-laden, pearl clutching, happy ending love story, with the requisite angst along the way. Naturally.

Despite a fluffy ending, it does deal with some mature themes, and reader discretion is advised. (Particularly if said reader has an over sensitivity to italics. That really won’t end well. Consider yourselves warned.)

This post is ‘sticky-ed’ and can be reached at any time by clicking on the user name ‘beyondwandpoint’ to navigate to the journal overview. It’s the first entry listed in that view. The most recent chapter always follows immediately below it, or you can scroll down to the Table of Contents in this post and navigate from there.


Summary: It's seventh year, Dumbledore is still alive and, after Hermione is attacked in the halls of the school, he comes up with a plan he is ever so sure will keep her safe... amongst other things. His Potions Master must be bonded to her. Of course! It's the only thing for it. It's not like Albus has ever been wrong before.

Severus is understandably chuffed.

But maybe it won't be as bad as he thinks. Sure, because he's typically lucky.

7th year, canon through OotP, and then it cherry picks, because why the hell not?


Originally Published: Chapters 001 through 106 were originally posted on AO3 from 11 November 2017 - 10 March 2019. The story is mirrored on Dreamwidth and LiveJournal. GENERALLY UPDATES EVERY WEEK OR TWO.

Table of Contents / Chapter Index follows bellow.

But can I just point you to the tags? LJ / DW (Ooo! Lovely things. *swoon*) Want to see more Severus and Hermione? Click the (rather intuitive, she thinks) ‘Severus and Hermione’ tag LJ / DW, and viola! Lots and lots of chapters will appear, just full of shippy goodness. Want to see the Slytherins being their good selves? ‘Slytherins being Slytherins’. LJ / DW You get the idea. (I’m enjoying those lots.)


WIP NOTES:

In migrating the story to LJ and DW, I’m taking advantage of the ability to tag individual chapters. As the tags weren’t there originally, any help you can provide spotting missing tags would be appreciated. I’ll be adding more retroactively as I go.

Other than that, I love to ‘watch’ people read. Please consider yourselves encouraged to comment. It really doesn’t have to be profound, but I would ask that you keep it positive. No one’s forcing you to read, after all. I spent hundreds of hours producing this, it’s an amateur work and my only remuneration is in the form of comments, likes and hits. A little love goes a long way. Just sayin’…

And thanks in advance. 😉

I'm new here but I found this story on another website and followed you here. I have spent the last three days binge reading this absolutely FANTASTIC story. You have done an incredible job on this piece and I cannot wait for the next chapter! Truly am loving this story already an I get a sense that things are just getting started. I can't praise this enough. I might go back and read from the begging again if there isn't an update in the next few days just so I don't have to go too long without this great story!!

[identity profile] gingerbred.livejournal.com 2020-04-23 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your taking the time to say so, it's greatly appreciated. 😊

The dread!lurgy has sadly mangled my productivity somewhat (or perhaps that's the WFH hubs (lol), but I'm still alive and kicking. The next chapter can't take but so long... 😉

Don't mean to be a pain in the... Bum.

[identity profile] hp-lover270719.livejournal.com 2020-06-07 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope you are doing ok. I know you have been ill. But my love for this story is very great and I was wondering how the next chapter (Chapter 122) is coming along?

RE: Don't mean to be a pain in the... Bum.

[identity profile] gingerbred.livejournal.com 2020-06-07 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
No, hun, you're not a pain in the bum. ❤️ Things may have gone from bad to catastrophic, jury is still out. Gather we'll know more in a week or two.

If you PM me an email, I'm happy to mail you part of the next chapter. (I think it needs to go up in two parts anyway due to size, and the editing always takes forever the longer it gets. (Oddly, it isn't a linear increase.) The first part should be done(ish) enough (if you don't mind a lack of formatting) by tonight or tomorrow.) PMing any of my accounts with an email addy will do. 😊

RE: Don't mean to be a pain in the... Bum.

[identity profile] gingerbred.livejournal.com 2020-06-08 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry, I'm not sure if I explained that properly. It will probably take me a fair amount longer to actually get it posted, because editing and formatting always take an age. (That time is measured in days, not hours.) You can have it in a slightly rawer form earlier if you like (it's unlikely to change substantially), because I know you've waited very patiently. If you want to take me up on that, just PM me an email addy. Absolutely serious; it's *not* an inconvenience.

Hello! We are slowly but surely rereading this once again. I noticed updates have slowed a bit and I’m hoping you aren’t unwell. I know life can get busy and this year has been crazier than most. This is in no way a complaint. We just wanted to encourage you that we really love your writing and appreciation how much time and effort has obviously gone into this work. We look forward to reading more and we hope you are well. ❤️

Can’t wait for more!

I just binged this in 3 days and I am in awe of your writing abilities! I’m eagerly awaiting future chapters. Is there any way to sign up for notifications?

RE: Can’t wait for more!

[identity profile] beyondwandpoint.livejournal.com 2020-12-06 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! That's very nice to hear. 😊 There are a couple of ways to get notified, livejournal or dreamwidth accounts are the easiest, facebook also works (somehow. I'm not on FB, so I'm fuzzy on the details), and I've been good about tweeting when put out a new chapter.

Just double checked. When you aren't logged in, at the top of the page there's a "subscribe" button that offers you some options, including FB, twitter (which would suggest it's not dependent on my remembering my twitter password; good to know. lol) and google.

Thanks so much! Thank goodness it’s not dependent on me remembering my ancient and likely embarrassing LJ account details 🤣 hope you are staying safe during these crazy times!

RE: Can’t wait for more!

[identity profile] beyondwandpoint.livejournal.com 2020-12-10 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
There has never been a better time to hermit. I'm discovering it suits me... 😉

I definitely hear you on that count. 😐 The biggest threat to password security is lack of password diversity, and yet the biggest threat to account access is precisely that password diversity... Conundrums.

Hey, as someone who had an account "back in the day", I'd suggest checking https://haveibeenpwned.com/ to see if there are related accounts of yours that are under threat. (Deliberately not clicky, go ahead and google them if you're feeling unsure, and all they want is the email you used to register... wherever, so nothing too risky.) Background: a bazillion years ago, something somewhere was cracked (LJ denies it was them, and might even be right on that count; either way, this much later, blame is immaterial), but the fact remains there are lists of old LJ accounts and credentials for sale, and that lack of password diversity threatens other logins / accounts. I've explained it in a little more detail here (https://gingerbred.livejournal.com/27872.html), if you're interested, but I can warmly recommend checking haveibeenpwned from time to time.

Next chapters

Hi there! I’ve just finished reading upto current in beyond wandpoint and I’m enthralled! I really hope you’re okay and wondering when the next chapters are going to be released because I can’t wait to know what happens next.

OMG! Hi I am back!!! I didn't abandon you, I solemnly swear! I lost my laptop had to get another one and then completely forgot you are on here and not fanfiction and wow it has been a journey to find you again. Please please please remember that your story is fabulous and very much loved!!!!

Happy LJ Birthday!

Happy Birthday beyondwandpoint! Execpt not, because you were born before you arrived here on LJ! Actually, your real birthday is closely linked to my original introduction to the world of HP (and my BD). Beyondwandpoint, you are dearly missed and much loved. I hope to renew our acquaintance someday soon. Much ❤
