Thank you for another long review!! (And sorry it took me so long to reply!) You know, one of my favorite dynamics between Snape and Harry is how Harry wears his heart on his sleeve and Snape keeps his under lock and key, buried down deep. They're such an interesting contrast and have a fun effect on each other. 

Ooh thank you for the other Merlin rec! I haven't read it yet, but I marked it for later. I like the description. :) And I bookmarked the list site - thank you!! You know, I didn't like the way they ended Merlin, and I didn't like a lot of things about the last season, but I DO think they did a good job with the reveal. Their conversations afterward were Just. Right. I wouldn't want to mess with it or do it any differently. That's why I much prefer letting their relationship at that point stand, but having them going back together to fix all the other stuff that went wrong. 

I think I need to upload to AO3 before I finish writing OME so I can let people know it's there, so I might go ahead and start uploading chapters this week. I'll let you know when it's up so you can look it over and let me know if I did anything wrong with the tags, format, etc. :) Thank you for offering!!

Thank you for the review!! I love writing Harry & Snape chat/banter scenes, so it's nice to hear that you like to read them. :) And thank you for the Merlin rec - I read it and enjoyed it! Feel free to share any more that come to you! :) :)

The Merlin story I have in mind to write would begin in the final moments of the last episode, wherein Merlin makes a deal to go back in time (as his own past self, not as a time traveler) to correct his mistakes that led up to Arthur's death. The catch is that only he will remember...but yay for us, Arthur remembers too! So they traverse the final season again, working together, figuring out their new dynamic, trying to fix things, only events diverge greatly and their "fixes" result in some new challenges. (Because who actually wants to read a straight-up retelling of that season anyway? Not me.) So yeah. I want to write my Avengers story first, and I eventually want to pen an OME sequel, so we'll see if the Merlin one gets written. It would be fun to write. :)

I'm thinking about getting started uploading chapters to AO3 over the next week or two. It looks like I can upload all chapters one at a time first as a draft, and then post it all at once? I experimented with ways to import and upload, and it looks like there isn't a totally easy, one-upload way to do it? Every way I tried involved correcting the formatting. And I might have to rely on people to let me know if I miss any tags. :)

Thank you again for the long review! I really appreciate the kind words and the help!!! I hope you are having a fabulous new year. :)
