Im so happy! Im going to write a proper review later after I can get this grin off my face and calm down. But congratulations and thank you so much for finishing and creating such a wonderful story. I love it so much.
I'll try and convey all my emotions. Overall I really liked Invictus. It really picked up pace later on and showed how complex Snape's thoughts really were.
I like Snape's POV, I think I like it a bit more than Harry's for some reason (could be because it's fresher in my mind). But I think you really made a believable Snape. He was witty, smart, cynical, an ass hole and likable in a dark way. The mix of background really helped show why he made the choices he did. It really humanized him a lot more than anything I've read before.
Going into this story from NoG I'm really amazed still at how you really held us readers in Harry's shoes where we really couldn't estimate Snape's true feelings. That's talent, because I think all of my theories were disproved. I'm so glad that Harry wasn't Lily's replacement to Snape. And I'm excited to read about Harry discovering just how special he is to Snape in the epilogue.
I loved this last chapter. It was essentially Snape trying to say goodbye. And it showed how much he loved Harry by being able to give him up and wish him true love with Ginny. Though I know from experience that even after saying goodbye it's nice to have a reminder of that person, so I liked how he kept Harry's wand.
And he's free! I'm so happy, I think he deserves waking up to the morning sun overlooking the ocean everyday for the rest of his life - hopefully with Harry next to him.
So thanks again for creating this wonderful story. I recently learned how to bind books. If/when I get the time I'm totally going to try and make this into an actual printed book because I really want to put this on my bookshelf, it's really special.
