Severus Sighs

We came, we broke hearts, shattered dreams, tarnished the silver linings that Severus's mother tried to get him to believe lines every cloud. Severus lost his love, life, hope, will and purpose.

In short, IT WAS MAGICAL AND WE HAD SO MUCH FUN! <333 #angstfest

Thank you so much to all our players, reviewers, cheerleaders, and everyone who helped the *sighers* celebrate our FOURTH anniversary! Poor Severus - having to deal with four years of #angst and #abuse and all us crazy people.

Here's to another great year! #dances

BUT FIRST!
