Oh, thank you thank you! I love it! In the weeks since signing up for this, I was hoping more and more that my gift would be about Quirrell, but doubted my gifter would read my mind and figure that out, but LOOK! A lovely fic focusing entirely on the poor man. YAY! Okay, things I loved in particular: 1. The ambiguous, is-Dumbledore-telling-the-truth-or-was-Severus-really-a-one-night-stand-callous-jerk ending. Plus the lovely circular ending with the hands and the piano. Mmm. 2. All of the Q's! :) 3. This: He periodically glanced at the Potions Master, inwardly smiling. Was there ever a time when that man didn't glower? Quirinus's eyes lingered on Snape's mouth. He paused. No, he quickly told himself. Such a lovely moment in one man's inner struggle. And it made me laugh. 4. How you wrote his death. Not at all overdone, just simple and sad. 5. The description of the spirit, especially when it is partially corporeal as a snake...so creepy! 6. Legilimency Sex!! One of my favorites! I really really enjoyed this, mystery author. I am off to pimp!!
