This was one of the best things I've read. I don't want to be overly effusive because I don't want to take away from just how much I enjoyed it with what will appear to be falseness, but this was what I have been searching for in the Harry Potter fandom, and I now feel sated in a way that makes me feel like I can stop searching. Thank you
I'm conducting a summer action of reading all stories on PnS that have been completed, so I went through your story too!
I usually really don't like stories based on this challenge on being locked for 72h. This one though is extraordinary. As much as I believe that Rowling's Albus Dumbledore would never run to such means just to ensure peace between Snape and Potter — this one story sounds... like everything in its place, like everything has its base. I'm not sure how to explain it, but I liked the plot and the events, really. I also liked how your Snape isn't all running around and hugging Harry everytime something happens to him. Nope, the relationship between them is developing very slowly, and it makes these small gestures like Snape helping Harry with his burnt hands or stroking his hair — it makes them mean so much.
Hoping to read more of yours :)

one word: sequel???????
Totally awesome! The gun, the Room, the dialogue, the feels!!
What a fantastic story - I can't believe I never read it before.
I'll have to go back now to re-read - I don't understand who took their photo while they were in Snape's past...
I loved this story so much! It was very painful to read some times because of all the flaws the character had, especially Severus and Albus. And at the same time I hurt so badly for both Severus and Harry. They deserved happiness and I hope now they can somehow find it together.

Just finished this story. One of the best stories I have ever read. You, my friend, are nothing short of amazing.
I love the way the connection between Harry and Snape is written. It’s not sudden, and it’s not easy for either of them. It makes this into a very realistic story. I love the symmetry between the two, especially in the 13th chapter; their stories aren’t the same and thankfully they aren’t shown as such, but it’s easy to see how similar they are. I’m absolutely in love with the idea that Snape would chose this particular memory to show Harry when they need to get out; it made my heart melt just a little bit.
While Dumbledore has the reigns, he doesn’t strike me as the manipulative evil bastard that fanfic so often makes him out to be – he’s like he is in the books; yes, he has the war first and foremost in his mind and yes, he makes mistakes, but it all stems from his emotions. Thank you, thank you, thank you for that. Evil!Dumbledore still irks me, no matter how many stories I've read that use it as a plot device.
Both Harry and Snape react the way you’d expect, with the last scene of chapter 18 as the really well written heavy and emotional low point of the relationship between Harry and Dumbledore.
My favourite quote, which I think kind of defines and contradicts this story at the same time:
“Love isn’t complicated,” Harry says. “Hate is, but not love.”
This was a fantastic story! I'm sad that it's over.
