This is truly wonderful. The way you evoke the time and place, the horror and the humanity, the tragic bureaucratic bungling. The way the physical devastation and rebuilding matches the emotional lives of our heroes. Your Snape is beyond excellent; I love his voice here and you've really captured his pride and stubbornness and self-denial. And Harry. And your OCs. And if our heroes are going to be transported to America there is no better, no more logical and appropriate place than NOLA.
