This was nice. Given the length and the demands of the plot, I think you did a good job of depictiing the depression Severus fought with after Dumbledore's death, as well as Harry's sorrow at the death of his partner, who had loved him more than he had been able to in return. The honorable treatment Harry believed was Severus' due and pragmatic housemate status Severus displayed was very well depicted, and I think, overall this fic was realistic and refreshing. A rewarding read!
