I'm seriously impressed that you pulled together something as shrewd and carefully layered as this for a pinch hit, MA. It's so full of interesting detail and unsentimental observation about Severus' darker, crueler side, his blind spots and singlemindedness, but it also contains moments of beauty. It's rare for stories to focus on young Snape at his worst, smugly convinced he's in control of his fate when in fact he's just stepped off the edge of a chasm. I found it fascinating and compelling, and I look forward to reading more of your work.
(Sorry this went on so bloody long, but I figure it's better to leave a rambling comment than no comment at all.)

I’m also glad you enjoyed the fact that this focused on Severus at his worst - Snape embracing his dark side as a young adult is one of my favourite things to explore, but there’s never much of a reason to look at it with most festfic, so when I saw category two needed a pinch hit I couldn’t resist.
Thank you so much for reading and leave such a lovely comment!
