Thanks, I'm so glad you liked it.  One of the things Tabitha mentioned when "Blurring" was in beta was that Snape was kind of an ogre to Harry and there was no indication that they were close.  Now, I added some to "Blurring" to show they had a bond, but I also wanted to reaffirm that bond in subsequent installments.  In some ways, James and Severus reverse the dynamics that they had with regards to Harry in "Blurring" in this fic.

So many "Voldemort won" fics are just an excuse to write kinky sex, *shifty eyes* and this is not how I roll, thanks.  I just want to twist everyone up.  Also, in "Blurring" and "Spectacles" I wanted to focus very narrowly on this internal family dynamic.  This is part of the reason so much of it is from James' point of view.  He is of all of them, the most isolated and the most at the mercy of the internal forces.  I do intend to widen my scope to chunks of the rest of the world in later installments, though I will still focus on the family group.
