    Gonna be honest, I'd get my ass killed saving a little kid, if I were in that situation.
    Also, I did NOT see that happening so fast. Like BAM! Ol' Voldy's dead!

    I'm reading this during quarantine, and I just want to say how perfect this story is. I hate to admit it, but I'm sobbing just like Sev here.

    This was an amazing chapter. Severus was so real, his emotions were so good, it was as if he were a real person standing here in this room. I love how you developed this. The very first paragraph was amazing and it stayed amazing throughout.

    Author's Response: Oh, thank you!  I do love the emotional, angsty stuff.  I think Severus would feel things very deeply, though he might be reserved in front of people that he didn't know very well.

    aaawww.... *hugs severus* not that he'd appreciate the hug, of course!

    Great job with Severus' perspective in this chapter. poor man, he is head-over-heels in a fatherly way.

    will be interested to see it from harry's perspective next. how will he feel with voldemort gone? will he be less suicidal? more or less receptive to severus' love?

    Author's Response: Thank you!  Yep, Severus really has fallen in love with Harry, in a fatherly way.  Yes, Harry is still suicidal right now.  He's got the idea in his head and he's quite determined on it.  I think he doesn't realise that Severus does love him.  He's just now accepted that Severus cares for him somewhat, but he's not sure how much.  He isn't thinking that Sev loves him yet, but part of that is because he basically feels unlovable, thanks to the Dursleys.

    teh chapter is wonderful!!!!!!!!
    the way you have described severus' feelings is awesome...it really must have been difficult for you to write compassionate feelings from severus' point of view...i mean he is known for his snarkiness...well so when's the next chapter coming...waiting already

    Author's Response: Thank you!  Sometimes it is hard to write Severus, but I think he could have very strong feelings of love and compassion for someone.  He's used to being cynical and hiding his feelings, and there haven't been many people that he cared for...but I think once he does let someone into his heart, he would be very loving and protective, fiercely so.  I see Severus as an all-or-nothing kind of person.  He doesn't do things by halves.  He may try to hide the depth of his emotions, but they do run very deep, imo.  I'm about halfway through chapter 22.  Hopefully it'll be ready in a couple days.  Thanks again!

    You did a brilliant job on this chapter - I really like the way Severus just listened in on the Weasleys, and what he was thinking.

    Author's Response: Oh, thank you!  I'm glad you liked it.

    This is one of my favorite fics. You've done a really nice job with Severus. I expect that it's difficult to pen Snape with the proper mix of snark and compassion necessary for this type of story, but you've done it well. As for Harry... well, who doesn't love Harry. He's just a great character. As for the upcoming chapters, I'm looking forward to them. It'll be interesting to understand the subtle nuances associated with the slavery spell, and how Severus and Harry structure their relationship around to overcome the master/slave issue.

    Author's Response: Thank you!  Yes, Severus is a little hard to write sometimes.  I think I can get into Harry's head easier than Severus'.  But I'm so happy you like him.  Harry is wonderful, isn't he?  My favorite character.  Yes, Harry and Sev are going to have to talk about the slavery spell pretty soon.

    Aww, poor Severus. Will Harry wake up while he's still crying? Or will he fall asleep next to him? Or is Albus simply going to come in and comfort him instead? So many possibilities...
    This chapter was great. I especially liked the detail about Snape being the only one to work the countercurse for the spell - I'd never really thought about it that way. Also, the way the hospital had converted to battle mode was great!

    Author's Response: Thank you!  Well, I'm going to begin working on the next chapter tomorrow, so hopefully I can update again soon, and you'll find out.  I thought it made sense for Sev to be the only one who could heal Sectumsempra, as it was 'his' curse, and it's not used very often in canon.

    Absolutly wonderful chapter. It was a bit of a tear-jerker too! The ending was soo sweet how Severus just get's all protective of Harry. :-)

    Author's Response: Thank you!  I love protective Severus.

    That was a great chapter, Kristeh. I am so glad we got to see inside Severus' head to see that he is indeed remorseful of what he did to Harry and that now, he's finally ready to own up to it and ask for Harry's forgiveness. I am curious to see how Harry will react to being alive now. I am wondering though why he will still want to die? Because of the slavery spell mostly? After all, Voldemort is dead and he won't have to worry about that in his life anymore. It's true that Harry had to live with Severus now, forever right? If the slavery spell doesn't ever end, how will Harry every get married? I guess that would put a bit of a damper on someone's life. Poor Harry. Can't wait for next chapter.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks, Tabitha!  Yes, Sev is very remorseful.  Harry still wants to die for a couple of reasons.  First, yes the slavery spell has had a profound impact on the way Harry thinks and feels about himself.  Also a large part of it is that Harry wants to be with his parents and Sirius.  He's gotten it into his head that they're his only real family, and the only ones who could truly love him as a son.  He knows that things are better with Severus, but it hasn't occurred to him that Severus could actually love him and really want him at Prince Hall.  He just doesn't see that he could have a family with Severus.  That's got a lot to do with Harry's poor self-image.  The Dursleys drilled it into him that he's an unwelcome burden and that no one could want him, and Harry believes that deep down.

    So to him, dying and going to be with James, Lily, and Sirius is his best chance for happiness.
