*sobs* Oh, that was so sad! With Severus being so clueless about what he was feeling and why, and Sirius being dead and Severus being now forever unable to do anything about it. Oh, and Sirius! Even filthy and ragged, the guy just oozes sex.
Loved the interplay between past and present too - very well written, really gets it across how Severus can't escape his past. All in all, loved it!
I did try to make it less sad, but nothing I did seemed to make a difference, sorry. Glad you liked the two timelines thingie - I was fretting it might be a bit confusing for the reader.
Oh, my! I love Snape being so clueless about his feelings toward Sirius and trying to get back what he lost with whores, only getting a pale reminder...
This was really incredible. The way it slipped between times, the confusion and pain, the wow-hot sex.
Loved this line: "I don't exactly have anything but rats to give you - being a fugitive, travelling light and all - so in return for your discretion..." He gave the robes one more pull and yanked them down over his shoulders. "...I offer you myself."
You write this pairing so perfectly for me. You just rock. :)
Oh, thank you, love! You're making me blush, damn it;) I'm glad you liked the time changes, was fretting they'd be a bit too confusing and would only put people off.
This is beautiful. I love how Snape isn't sure why he wants to remember, but he doesn't seem to want to forget, because if he did, he could certainly erase the memory himself. I love how he "relives" it each time, and the details for how he finds his whores to do so are perfect. I love the story of the house, how Snape sees it as a non-magical place, but the whore sees it as a haunted house that was inhabited by witches... And I LOVE the last line.
Hee, thank you for the lovely feedback! I'm so glad you liked the whole house thing, since I thought it brought a nice contrast to the story. And it's always so nice to know more as the reader than the person himself does, isn't it? That utter git, not realising why he keeps repeating that night, when we would be so very willing to fill him in (or at least I would:)
You do know I'm very much flattered by your kind words? You can tell quite easily from the happy dance I'm going to do right about now:)
Believe me, my words are well-deserved. I love it when I'm reading something going, "This is nice...oh, that took me by surprise...wow...I love this." The ones that surprise me are the best, and this is the second of your stories I've reced, believe it or not. I also quite enjoyed In Cruciatu Veritas and the sequel. I love your Snape and Black. They're the same snarky, growling characters from the books, but you still manage to get them to come together believably. I should probably go check out your other stuff, see what else takes my fancy. :D
OK, my happy dance is now turning into an all-night party:)
After just posting that longish rant about my defects as a writer, reading your comments surely makes me feel a hell of a lot better - thank you:) I love the element of surprise when reading, and so you can't imagine what bliss it is to hear that I've actually managed to surprise somebody myself! Really, I'm going all blushing-girlie over here and it's not a pretty sight...;)
Again, thank you, dear. This day certainly looks brighter already *hugs* I only hope I'll be able to write something read-worthy in the future as well and not disappoint you too much:)
