As I said before, Sigune, I am so glad you like it and think I got your character(s) correct. Yes, Brynhild is a bit too harsh to be a Mary-creation, but I enjoyed spending a little time with her and trying to get into her head. Very educational! As I said before, one of the things that strikes me is that you and I go in roughly the same direction when we think of Severus married with children - I think Severus needs (and deserves) a pragmatic partner who does love him for himself, and, whatever her flaws, Brynhild is certainly that. There may well be some selfishness involved, but she really does love him. Severus needs someone who will protect him from himself, doesn't he? - and Brynhild manages to do that here.
I'm happy you liked the daydream, too! (even though, in the drawing, the mare's mane doesn't match Brynhild's exactly;) But a woman can dream, can't she?)
