    Wow. Love the concept and storyline. Well written and great use of language. The sequel from Snape's POV also sounds interesting!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you so much, especially that part about the great use of language - because I work really hard to improve my english! The sequel is in acceptable progress, about two-thirds is written already.

    I'm glad that Harry was able to use art to help him deal with his PTSD. I'm kind of puzzled by the numbness he is experiencing though. I worked with a psychotherapist who specialized in PTSD. Part of my job was interviewing the prospective patients and, while they had emotional numbness, I didn't interview anyone with those physical symptoms. Of course, those were Muggles and Harry's magical background and experiences probably are why his symptoms differ. ;)
    Anyway, I enjoyed the story and look forward to Severus' point of view. That sounds like it will be very interesting.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks for reviewing! Interesting comment on the symptoms of PTSD. I never worked specifically with that kind of patients, so I only have a general idea about how the condition works. Naturally, I made Harry’s condition up as a separate entity of the magical world, but I still meant it to resemble the Muggle condition - there is the depression and the flash-backs (which took form in the paintings) that you’ll recognise. I did not want to make Harry very anguished, however, more sad and exhausted, if you see what I mean. I believe that usually there might be a substantial amount of anxiety involved in PTSD and with that also psychosomatic symptoms which can be very peculiar indeed, in my experience :-) Our bodies are experts in expressing what our minds refuse to acknowledge. Harry’s numbness has something of that and it is also an image of the emotional depletion that he suffers from. In my mind Harry is somehow beyond fear and anxiety, having lived through so much horror.

    I'm glad you included an explanation of how Albus and Severus were revived. I had wondered about it. It was good to see that Dumbledore made some provision for Snape after all his spy had done.

    I liked this fic, and find myself intrigued to see what the "re-born" Snape might be like in the sequel. Even if the sequel doesn't get posted, I liked seeing Snape and Harry interact in this chapter.

    Author's Response:

    Great! Thank you! I'm currently writing on the sequel and believe it will be posted towards the end of summer.
