Huge, heartfelt apologies for just now responding to this. I overbooked on fests, and felt I couldn't let myself read or look at anything until I finished what I'd signed up for. T_T
Now, this was LOVELY. Snape's resigned bitterness throughout, fighting back subtly, never losing, just masking, his snark under a veneer of civility. And his visitors!! *wiggles in glee* So many kinks here! The fingering/fisting, and Snape's reluctant responding to it....the Weasley/Snape/Weasley sandwich...guh, hot, double penetration wins!
And the little details, like the magic-draining anklet, and the tiny kitchenette and kettle, and the method of chastisement.
You made Snape, and his visitors, appear so HUMAN, so that when Neville appears he's almost super-human in his restraint - especially considering the baggage he mentions. And his excuses, trying to keep in Potter-guise, are clever yet clumsy enough to show him underneath.
I like that, above and beyond the smut, you captured the people, their personalities, their reasons, their flaws and their strengths. It made the piece 3D for me. Thank you for writing it!
