*flails* There are no words that can describe how much I am in complete and utter love with my gift. Mystery author, you are amazing with angst!
As much as I can see it how it could end happily (and a part of me kind of wishes it did since Harry's pain and humiliation ripped out my heart), I am so glad you asked me if I would mind it ending unhappily. You were right, I don't think it would have had the same effect if it had ended happily ever after.
It was like a punch in the gut when I read what lengths Snape went to, to humiliate him. Like LD7 said, my jaw hit the floor , and stayed that way for the rest of the fic, when Snape said that he wasn't raped. Harry's so in love and Snape doesn't give a damn! It's amazing (in that really sad - I want to hold Harry and tell him it'll be ok - way)!
