I woke up and saw this over morning coffee and was so enraptured, I didn't even finish the cup! It is so rare for me to read any poetry pertaining to snarry, that I soaked this up for a long time. I am a lover of good poetry, so this was such a delight! The desperation and resigned grief of one who has seen and done too much in life, is suddenly lifted with this one statement: "for burdens shared become burdens gone" Harry and Severus reach a pivotal moment when their paths dovetail into one and can share the burdens together. Absolutely beautiful! lemondropseven did an amazing job in capturing the moment when realisation hits that they are no longer alone. Their brushing of hands was tender and perfect. It sent chills down my spine.
