So much love for this fic! I adored all the characters, so well done, but especially your Snape. All his complicated quirks and intensity, yayyyy!!!
I particularly liked that they're all acting like *adults*, like real people, not cartoons and not childish, but people who have hearts and feelings and care about others.
The way you tell this story, in such a laconic or even abbreviated style, works well here, I thought. The understated writing and briefly sketched-out scenes seem to put a spotlight on how the characters must be feeling, how they're all working to understand each other. I like that on an even larger scale, then, that ties in to how the canon has to accommodate to its continued post-DH life, just as we fans continue sorting out what worked, what still works, and what didn't work.
