/delurking for a long and incoherent squee/

Oh. Oh dear. What's not to adore here? There's my dearly beloved pairing, now even more precious, because of its rarity. There's intensity and madness and a whiplash from sudden mood changes, all trademarks for Snack. There's unhinged vulnerable Sirius (it is my personal opinion that drugs helped but a little, that's how he is) and mostly rational but still vulnerable Snape. There's Peter, portrayed in all his complexity, intelligent and scared and sensitive.

I must admit that near the end I froze for a moment when Pete almost accepted the burden of being the Secret Keeper. I've never been more happy to discover it's still an AU. ;-)
I loved that during the masquerade you gave them each other's eyes.
I loved your Bella and the much darker repetition of "Mudblood scene", this time with Sirius as a victim.
I love that a fic which, with such a premise, could have started and ended as a light-note PWP (and I'd have squeed over it, don't get me wrong), turned our to be an intense, emotional story.

/Eeek. Seems that when I love I tend to lose control of my punctuation. Ballistic commas, anyone?/

Thanks for the brilliant fic.

ha! ballistic commas! happens to me all the time!

oh and you liked my peter! he's such an unpopular character, i find myself protective of him :D

and you noticed that i gave sirius and severus each other's eyes! love!

i love snack - it's one of my favourite pairings too, but i do think that in order to mature sirius needs to understand the gravity of his own actions. and since he isn't the smartest :D he needs to experience them.

thank you for your lovely comment! it made me very happy :)
