I always hated that we never really saw Severus' torment in Bk 7. It wouldn't have made sense, of course, the whole book being in Harry's POV but I really wanted at least something to show what Severus went through that year.
So this did that. And I love that it was Minerva that realized he needed help. Winky is such a sweet elf here, and I'm amazed at how happy I was that she finally met her calling in taking care of Severus.
And that Severus let himself be cared for.
And the ending is, of course, so much better. I like the idea of Winky fixing Spinner's End and Severus finally having someone who cares about him.
Not porn, no. *winks* But so, so good. Thank you, darling.
