I know how you love angsty Snape, and given what goes on in this book, I swear it wrote itself. And yes, now that you say it, I would venture that you did hear an emphasis on the word 'you' in "This war doesn't need you as a martyr."
The end is so elegant and spare, yet loaded with so much meaning (a Thevina trademark, no?).
Oh, thank you. What I've found so challenging of late in writing these various stories is bringing any of them to a close. I'm so glad that you felt this was effective, and not merely abandoned. ;) I do love me some foreshadowing, 'tis true, especially when the readership also knows what's coming.
You are so very welcome. And one of these days I'll get something tangible to you- just need to keep working on it. In the meantime, I'm so pleased that you like your giftfic. If I were somehow to write something to reflect my admiration and gratitude for you, well, I'd need to participate in NaNoWriMo.
