	Oh gosh, there's so much emotion in this piece; one can really imagine the terrible times they are going through, and the comfort they give one another, despite it all. Brilliant work :-) PurpleFluffyCat x (Reply to this) (Thread)

OH WOW. WOW. I can't believe how beautiful this is. Wow! You made such a credibly beautiful, yet obviously much older, Minerva here. You even aged her hands. Yet she has this soft, feminine aspect--and the hair and the fabric seem to bring the eye to the center of the image. And I love the way their shut eyes convey so much emotion. This is really wonderful. I don't think I can say enough about how good it is.

I love how closely they huddle, and how even in sleep, or perhaps just in mutual comfort, they still look worried and worn, holding each other against the day they'll be pulled apart. I adore that Minerva is clearly a middle-aged woman and still breathtakingly desirable. (Side-note: you draw the most beautiful hair.) Snape looks like a real person here, not a caricature, and the way his hand rests on Minerva's head expresses so much cherishing and care.

This is not only beautiful; it's incredibly moving. People glimpsed in sleep are vulnerable, and these two so rarely permit vulnerability to show that it's truly a private and precious sight. Thank you for sharing it with us.

	Wow. There's such a sense of need and tenderness and a give and take of comfort in this, it makes my throat feel tight. I love the way you've drawn them, Minerva's face and body showing her years in the most beautiful way, and Severus holding her so protectively. The depth of emotion here is absolutely gorgeous.

	This is so absolutely breathtakingly wonderful! ♥ ♥ ♥ I came here several times already, trying to put my admiration in better words, but I simply don't manage better. Just everything in this wonderful art is perfect for me, and it's Severus and Minerva in a nutshell. It feels as if you had read my mind and put that to pen... (Reply to this) (Thread)
