Wow! This is really, really great writing!

Many, many thanks! I must admit that I have far too much practice. ;)

Your writing 'voice' is so masculine (and powerful/in control) it really suits the subjects. It's refreshing - And I feel like I've *learned* something about Snape, not *explored* his character.

Goodness- that's an interesting comment. I guess since I was writing from Snape's POV, and I figure he's about as ironclad as they come, the 'voice' would need to reflect that. I did have fun making it rather verb-heavy to imply the speed of motion, and that he's in charge of what happens, every second of the way- even though, of course, he didn't ask to be the one to rescue Albus from the brink of death.

I'm terribly flattered that you feel this expounded on Snape as a person. I'll defer to [livejournal.com profile] eldritchhobbit's incredible persona and friendship which, simply put, inspires the best in me.

Snape closed his eyes and sought deeply within himself for a memory of joy. He settled instead for a feeling of pride...

Augh!


*clinks* Angst all 'round. :)
