Green indeed ... as burgeoning new life
Oh, I love this! It makes me tense up with worry at several parts... Laugh at the humor (1 in 7 chances, definitely! And how perfectly Snapeish to have estimated his own mortality, and so bleakly at that!) ...And actually tear up a bit at the end. I don't just love it - I think it's much more realistic than many takes on canon and EWE fan re-imaginings. This a *good* re-imagining! I hope you feel like following it farther.
