Very, VERY powerful fic!

The small, well-thought-out details were wonderful -- the designing of Sectumsempra, Draco's concern about the potion, Snape's wand inching towards him wormishly...

Can't wait to see more of your work ^_^

[anneline]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the details and the sectumsempra bit.

Wow. Just wow. This is so unapologetically sad and honest. Poor Severus...

[anneline]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Poor Severus, indeed, he gets to be a more tragic character in every new book.

Ooooh! Lovely, tragic, horrible story! Yummmmm.

[anneline]

Thanks! I'm glad you found it tasty.

oh the angst!!!! *tear*
"unimportant" if you remember something, it's because there was some significance in that memory. It just made me sad Lupin waved them off as they were nothing...

Thanks, I'm a sucker for angst, I swear it actually made me cheerful to write this, I think I was able to channel all my angst out into the fic. Lupin does act very cruelly in the end but he has been through a lot, too.

Lovely. I can really see this as being the story of Snape's whole life in snapshot photos. And the "unimportant recollections" was the knife in the heart after all that. A really wonderfully-written story.

Thanks! I was worried about this story since it was just a series of snapshots at first. I actually came up with the frame story of Lupin performing legilimens late as a way to tie all the elements together. That's when I decided to have Lupin do the crucio, too and the part about the unimportant memories. It sure upped the angst for poor Snape.
