oooh, really like your Snape. for all the damaged folks that this short fic has in it, I found it a heartening piece of writing. things happen, people cope, and there are surprising actions from those we thought we knew.
I'm so glad you liked it! I do love writing some disgruntled Snape; for some reason, it seems to come easily. But I'm also pleased that you didn't find this cloying; it was my fear, despite it being so short.
And hey- that's just my interpretation of how Draco could be. Canon!Draco wouldn't do this, I don't think, although in HBP he is revealed to be showing some intense emotions, so maybe something like this isn't out of the question. It's author's perogative, after all… I enjoyed writing the "Degrees of Burning" series mostly for the imagery; I wouldn't actually see Remus immolating himself. But for the sake of The Author going full tilt with flame images, well, it had to happen.
