I enjoyed this very much. I love how the glimpses at Severus's birthdays show his recovery. It's so good to see him alive, with friends and loved by Hermione at end. *happy sigh*

Lovely tale, and a wonderful accounting of Severus' recovery.

Great progression and very well-written.

I literally LOL when Severus woke up to find Ron and Harry playing Exploding Snap on his bed. *g* That was delightful! And the scene where Severus gets his magic back? THAT made me tear up. *sigh*
Good job! :)

I absolutely loved this! I feel as though I've been wrapped up in one of Molly's afghans. It is a spiritual afghan. :D

It's just so incredibly satisfying to see this sort of resolution for him--nothing spectacular, no great splash of glory, perhaps, but something so ordinary and warm and supportive and loving. Even if it isn't articulated anywhere in this piece, the affection and love are everywhere, the subtext to all these interactions. (Well, okay, maybe not the game of Exploding Snap. But still. *g*) It's the thing that he's been desperately searching for his whole life, and I think that many of his fans--myself included--wanted to see him live to find it. Here he has, and he appreciates what a gift that is ( ... )
