	Very sweet...and a very creative way of letting the real (real?) past remain, but still allow Severus to have the possibility of a happy future. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Aww! That brought a lump to my throat. If only... A lovely little hint of what might have been. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Or what is... somewhere else. :) Thanks! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	That was so beautiful. I got all teary when he was so glad to hear his mother's voice again. I love the thought of having another chance for Severus to be happy. Lovely. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	So do I. He deserves happiness & I was glad of a chance to let him find some. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	What a clever and comforting story. I like the child voice you create for Severus, IC and believably youthful and working-class. Eileen is believable, too -- there's no canonical reason that she could't be a loving mother, in her own way. I love considering Severus's possible new life, in Ravenclaw and with no tattoo.

	Thank you. I, too, love the thought of Severus just starting out his life's adventure with nothing except promise ahead instead of darkness. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Aw, this made me so happy. :-D I love the premise, and the voices of the characters are spot-on. I know I'll be thinking about this universe all day... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That's a compliment I'll treasure, Delphi, thank you. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh, that's so sweet. I want to give him a big hug :) Lovely, and I especially like the efforts to make them sound working class - really well done! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you, Fluffy - I'm glad it passes muster. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	This made me sad, then so very happy! A perfect Christmas story! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh that was really clever and sweet. I like the way Severus is having those dreams and then, well, we can't be quite sure what was a dream and what wasn't. I do love this new possible future for him. Great job. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I so very much want Severus to be given a second chance, for him to change at least his life. You made that seem possible. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	psyfic 2012-01-10 03:44 pm UTC (link)
	A compliment, indeed. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent)
