Gut wrenching. You portrayed Severus very well. Thank you.

[atrata]

Oh, no, thank *you*. :)

[gmth]

Oh wow. This was a great read. Very interesting portrayal of Snape. Poor guy. What a lousy life.

I enjoyed it. :-)

[atrata]

I'm glad! Thanks for the feedback. :)

[loupgarou1750]

ouch. oh fuck fuck fuckfuckfuck.

you're good. I keep typing things and backspacing. Apparently, I'm not coherent. I'm impressed. It's not often I have such a visceral reaction. Thank you. I think.

[atrata]

Heh. I know what you mean. I don't know where the hell this thing came from. It makes me twitch.

But, um, you're welcome, I think. And thank *you* for the feedback. :)

[loupgarou1750]

any objections to me reccing it in my lj?

[atrata]

Ha! Not at all. By all means, rec away. :)

[aubrem]

Oh yes, this is Snape in all his tortured glory. THAT extreme. I love it.

I confess though to being a pathetic romantic and no matter how much he kills, rapes and tortures I STILL think he and Harry can make it work. Go on, write it - write it!!!!

[atrata]

You know, I really am with you. I believe they can make it work, too. And yet when I sit down to write, *this* is what happens. But I'll keep trying. *g*

[aubrem]

A sequel to THIS one. *This* poor, poor, tortured, lost Snape needs Harry to drag him back into life. Save him! Save him!

[atrata]

Oh, god. I'd never even thought about that. I.. uh... god, I don't know. I'm afraid I'd sit down to write and Harry would save Snape only to fuck him over in the end. I don't know if my heart could take it.

[cordelia_v]

*shudders and breathes out slowly*

Oh, that is one of the most damaged, morally ambiguous Snapes I have ever read: really persuasive, which makes it even more scary.

Thank you so much.

But if you do a sequel, you'll have to flesh out a masochistic! Harry more thoroughly, to explain why he would stay with Snape. Anyone in his right mind would run away, fast.

[atrata]

Yeah, I think that's one reason I'd never thought about writing one. I have a hard time thinking that Harry would even really WANT to save Snape. let alone actually try doing so.

Meantime, I'm very glad you found it persuasive. Thanks for reading. :)
