First and foremost. One thousand apologies for getting back to you much later than I intended. LJ is a dirty slore for yesterday. And then I went out for drinks last night.
Now before I tell you how much I loved your ficlet, I have this to say...
Snarky darling, I've been watching you since you first came into fandom. Your writing has matured by leaps and bounds, and in much less time than it ever took me. You write some of the most evocative drabbles and ficlets. Some of them heart-stopping. I know I haven't been much of a cheerleader on your original writing filter, but I hope that will change. Please persevere at what you do, because I'm certain you can make a niche for yourself in the writer's market.

I loved this. You write Snarry exactly as I would. Our ideals are very similar. It's harsh and unpretty, fueled by blood and fire. Don't apologise for angst. Not with this pairing. It works perfectly with this dynamic. I love your unapologetic Snape and your yearns-for-forgiveness Harry. But what really makes this for me is the closing line. And you delivered a beaut.

Thank you for this, bb. SO. SO. MUCH.
