a piece of jazz! you made me all fluttery with that analogy.
snape has always been a favourite character to write. i wondered if it was a bit cheating in beholder to use his pov, but you have reassured me that it had value. and peter, definitely more of a leap of faith to write, i'm really pleased my version made sense to you. he is a strange character in canon, contradictory maybe and underexplored definitely. it was quite satisfying to fill in some gaps.
