You know, I had never heard the word "trope" before until I joined the ST fandom, and I wondered if I was just oblivious or if it was strictly for tv based fandoms. Interesting.
I'm so glad you liked this! And thank goodness Severus came off as IC! This was my very first Snarry fic, and I had such a hard time writing Severus. He was being such a bitch, lol. *shakes fist at Severus* But I did think it would take something major for him to overcome his reservations, and no, LOL, he's not sorry now at all. XD
