Lovely! I do so enjoy a fic where I get to unravel things along with the characters. This had such an interesting premise and I like how everything fit together in the end. Typical of Voldemort to think he's being really clever, though, when in fact he's just dishing up his own death sentence. Idiot. And Snape to the rescue with his brilliant and intricate potions work! That never gets old for me.

Loved the description of memories in this part -- it was so visceral and affecting:
Memory upon memory comes flooding back—some are murky, dim, polluted. Others brilliant, bright, shining to the bone—and each is accompanied by a torrent of emotion, of feeling. The sensation is razor sharp, and Severus must close his eyes, hold his breath against the intensity of it.

And my favorite tiny detail was Harry's Snitch-patterned sleep pants. Adorable. <3

	In my head, Harry always sleeps in Snitch-patterned pants (unless there are no pants) :) Thank you for the lovely comment. I apologize for the super late reply. (Reply to this) (Parent)
