Quartet (смешанная)

Примечания автора:
A/N: Well . . . crap-a-lap-a-ding-dong. This story, which was supposed to take me about six months to finish, is now over a year in the making. It's gone through planning, outlining, two drafts, and some chapters have been rewritten multiple times. I am beyond ready to get this thing posted. I just need to give everyone a heads up before you start.
I will be releasing these chapters every two to four days (depending on how urgently I think the next chapter needs to be posted). I am still rewriting/fixing some of the later chapters, and I need time to work on them, so no, I won't be rushing to get this all up in record time. I decided to vary my usual modus operandi and make my chapters shorter but greater in number. There are 83 chapters (that includes the epilogue), so this is a long story. The chapters vary greatly in length, ranging from 970 words at the shortest to maybe 10,300 at the longest. (But I would guess most average 3000-4000.) Each chapter is from either Hermione, Draco, Lucius, or Severus's point of view and I have indicated the POV at the top of each chapter to avoid confusion.
Yes, there will be a lot of sex in it. If you've read my other stories, you know my stories are sex-centric, but I did manage to make it through some chapters without anyone getting naked this time. I don't know if that's something to be proud of or not. I would like to state for the record that there are some kinky themes here, and they are not going to be everyone's cup of tea. Please read the tags/warnings for this story before you begin, and if you can't handle my kink heat, stay out of my kitchen. (Or stick around and broaden your horizons, but don't say I didn't warn you.)
Along those lines, I'd like to clarify something before you begin, Draco and Lucius are both with Hermione in this story. Together. But they do not have an incestuous relationship. I have nothing against incest stories, and I've read my fair share, but that's not what this story is about. I understand that this can be a squicky situation for some people, so I thought it best to be up front about it. Draco and Lucius have a complicated relationship here, but it isn't sexual.
And lastly, I want to explain my chapter titles, quotes, and end notes. In case you didn't notice, the title of this story is Quartet, and I wanted to integrate the theme of music into the story. All chapter titles are musical terms, and I'll give definitions for most of them in the end notes. The quotes are all lyrics that pertain to the chapter in some way, and they're cited in the end notes as well (where I've also got links to the recordings if you want to listen to them). There will occasionally be other tidbits about the chapter in the end note section.
I hope everyone who ventures forth after this mile long author's note enjoys the story. I love hearing from everyone, and I appreciate all the support I get from my fans more than I can say. Your enthusiasm keeps me going. Much love from
