Oh, this is just *so* beautiful. I love the quiet pace of it and then the sudden entrance of Harry ... it's just lovely.

*s* Thank you! I spent a lot of time trying to get the pacing right -- I'm so glad you liked it!

Funny you should say that... it took me about two evenings to get done, and I was positive someone else was going to write one and post it first... imagine my surprise when they didn't.
I'm glad you liked the flow of it -- that was the most difficult part, and the sympathetic beat line I was uncertain of, so you've just about reassured me on everything I was uncertain of. Thank you, for the kind words and the detailed feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I adored this olympics entry, and your drabble matched it perfectly.
The thoughts piling up in the corner of his mind like snow, the dull tick and tock, the urgency when Harry returns, bringing color back to Severus' life...
THIS is Snarry!
Beautiful. :)

Oh, Thank you!
The image's story was such a lovely metaphor for all those Snarry stories where Harry is the light of Severus' world, it seemed only appropriate that the drabble match it. It's good to know the absence of color/Harry bringing color really came through; I'd had to cut that pat down a lot to make the wordcount and was afraid it would get lost...
I'm rambling, so I'll stop now. Thank you again, I'm glad you liked it! : )

Beautiful! I love how you incorporate the movement of the comic. It fits the mood perfectly.

synn September 25 2006, 16:23:40 UTC

Thank you! The movement was the most difficult part of the piece, I'm so glad you liked it!

Brilliant! I hadn't seen that entry (I tend to lurk amongst the angst); so very beautiful.

And your drabble. How to explain the short, but exquisite, journey! For that's what it was... in so few words, I felt like I went on a whole journey, straight into the mundane lives of Snape & Harry. I thoroughly enjoyed the little details (such as the movement of his thoughts, his heart's rhythm, the clockwork, the "dull tick and tock", etc.). Some may think that with no more than 100 words, one would prefer to use them with either dialogue or emotional descriptions. But THIS, the way you've presented the story, it conveys ALL! As a reader, I "get" the emotions and I "get" all the untold dialogue. I FEEL the whole backstory of this Snarry!

Lovely. Just lovely. I am stunned, to be honest.

I tip my hat to you, dear!

Hugs,

Anoriell

oh, what a lovely comment! I'm so flattered I don't quite know how to say thank you.
This drabble took me about three times as long as any of my others to write, b/c I wanted to get the pace and the change in tone that the image presents just right. More than that, I wanted to convey one of the traditional Snarry concepts (Snape, heart locked up tight, and Harry bringing color and life back into his world) through the details -- It's just wonderful to know that it came across to you, and that you liked it : )

Thank You!
