thank you so much! i am very glad you liked it and i agree with you! we need more snack! :D
i think to me, being able to deviate from canon is a major reason why i love fan fiction! some characters deserve a better fate than what their creators had in store for them :D
(although if snape had known he'd be saddled by lovesick!sirius i am not sure he would have thanked me :D)
