	Beautiful story and much too short for my taste. ^^ I would love to know how things develop, how they deal with the 'world' (and how the world deals with those two), but that wasn't the focus so it might be a completely different tale to tell. One of my favs so far. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you so much for writing this beautiful story. I cried through the last ten pages, and did not want it to end. The relationship between Harry and Severus was so pure. I knew from reading the summary that I wanted to read this, and I am so glad I did. I could babble on and on about this fic. This is definitely on my reread list. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You captured 'frustration' so well in this--Harry's being unable to speak, and Snape to sleep. I like, too, the idea that the war's over, and both of them are 'afflicted' and they're fated to help each other--it seems right. Nicely done! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	A most wonderful story! I love how Severus and Harry interact and how their relationship changes and develops. I've studied aphasia before in a linguistics class and I really love how you used it in here with Harry. Marvelous work!~Sophia (Reply to this) (Thread)

	A lovely story. I cried too! I loved Snape helping Harry and Harry helping Snape. Beautifully done! (Reply to this) (Thread)
