I love the dialogue. It's familiar, like catching up with an old friend, painful because of their shared experiences but at the same time foreign because of their time apart.

And Harry, if I were to magically appear in front of you I'd shake you so hard. And Snape, fight for him! Though for the private type, Snape did say a lot this chapter.

I agree on the first part absolutely.

"Snape stepped over to sit on the edge of the bed. He was close enough that could’ve touched hands if they both extended their arms, but he still seemed as distant as he had back then before they’d grown closer together

Ah, yes - but what a lovely way to burn, as one lyricist put it. Poor Harry.

I'm a little confused...
I wish I could see what happened after the war. Harry must have been so lonely and desperate. Realizing your own sexuality is hard as it is, let alone all these traumas and memories. I wish you could give us some glimpses of his therapy sessions, or of how he talked about the prison and Severus to his friends and boyfriend.

It's very weird that he hasn't any traumas left (or does he?). The mention of sex toys for example - I know personally a rape victim that stayed away from any sexual act for years after the rape, unable to think of anything else but her rapist and the terror of the past. Then again, at the end it was fully consensual for both of them.

Things have changed very quickly and I have trouble following. Five years is a long time, especially for a growing up young man like Harry. He's very different, even a little OOC, but then again it might be the missing years that make me see it like that. :/

I can't wait for their kiss. Please update soon, and find some time for you to sleep.

For me the talk about his imprisonment with his friends would be enough, but that I would like to see as well.

Of course he has traumas left. Didn't you read that bit about "don't touch me!"? The important fact is it isn't as bad as it could be.

And if you want to, you can consider Harry's lack of trauma in sexual area due to the fact he had to overcome it with Severus rigt after those rapes. In other words, he hadn't time to refuse and than he fell in love with Severus...

Haha I always love reading your comments. I remember how you said you learned English only by reading fanfiction!! I've been there too. :P

Of course I can see he still has traumas, I'm just wondering if the time for them to explode is coming. I'm waiting for a big fight, actually. An equal one, at last.

OMG, is there anybody else who is reading them? :D Well… I’ve learned (I’m sorry I know I often make mistakes, so it isn’t that I think I’ve really learned it, I just mean by that I can understand what I’m reading - or I think so :) - and unfortunately I’m bold enough to write comments/responses in English these days) English in school and from reading FF (guess what was less annoying)>slash>HP/SS slash.

Oh, big fight... that would be interesting and could end in bed, what do you think? :) Yes, big fights are good. 8-)

Someone he’d sworn he wouldn’t become involved with romantically again. - as much as it is understandable, it hurt to hear. (And I’ll love to see lose Harry against Harry
