Oops! Thanks, perverse_idyll, for letting me know I'd messed up my cut and pasting (it was early, and now I've lost my original comment).
M.A.! You know I enjoyed this, particularly because it's nice to see Millicent as a confident woman, and a business owner to boot! I think Severus is in for more than a little sugar. :D
Seeing Millicent and Severus finding comfort together makes me smile. Both of them had concerns about what "this night together" might mean to, but happily they were well able to talk about what each expected/hoped for to find that there was a good chance for them to find happiness together.
I really like the way you wrote about what they were thinking while they were navigating their way to talk about their fears... and to find their way to what can possibly be a more permanent and very satisfying life.
Millicent is one of my favorite minor characters. Unfortunately, JKR made her a caricature in canon, so I love to see her turned into a complex, interesting character as you've done here. You've created a full and meaningful backstory for her; Snape is right to appreciate her. Speaking of Snape, I'm fascinated by this bleak, yet strong post-war version of him that you've imagined. He and Millicent make a good pairing and an effective story. I'm hopeful things will work out for them.
I was almost afraid he was fetishizing her size, but instead it was more of an acceptance. It made me happy to read. I think these two broken souls are good for each other.
I love this ficlet. Sweet but in a good way, not cloying at all. Despite the lingering angst, I found myself grinning all the while. I can see how this have a good chance to work out fine and become permanent. They deserve it ❤️ Would love to see some snippets of their life later. Thanks ❤️
