Oh, wow, wonderful, dear! Again, what a unique take on this whole ending. Bellatrix's curse was truly awful, Severus never knowing who had won and who had lived. I enjoyed all the different iterations of his day. I was truly afraid that the time he didn't tell Potter and V won was going to be the break, since I can see Bellatrix putting the end to the curse in Severus' ability to be loyal to the Dark Lord. So glad you didn't end it there. I guess the true breaking point was when he finally had someone to live for. Fantastic job! :)
