Snapedom

I can't think of anything more wonderful for a fanficcer or a fan artist to find that someone wants to write a story about their original character. I certainly never expected anyone to want to try it! So: thank you very much, Mary, for taking this on, and for doing such a great job :D. There are many touches in your story that make Brynhild sound very true. You are always a sensitive writer, and here this is again obvious. Brynhild is Severus's age, but her very different, sheltered life is obvious in that she cannot see Thestrals - I like that very much. You also hit the nail on the head with the seeming contradiction between her actions and her words when it comes to her affection for Severus.

My favourite bit *must* be (because I think SHE IS SO RIGHT) the part where she tells Severus not to be an idiot and to please leave the rest to Potter because he's done quite enough now. I guess that for me it's not just her concern for Severus speaking, but also the selfish streak in her character. She is not so much concerned about who wins, but rather about having her Severus back, safe and sound :p.

The daydream - now that is really a brilliant idea XD. From the first when you mentioned the Thestral I started wondering how you were going to explain the fact that in the picture Brynhild is riding a white horse... But you certainly pulled it off, and in a funny way :D. (Poor Severus...)

I am thinking that Brynhild is too harsh to be a Mary-creature, but I hope you enjoyed playing with her :D. Thank you very, very much for such a great gift!
