	Oh god, the intensity, the emotion here just brings tears to my eyes. You can't really see any of their faces, but, bawls. This is perfect. And this is MY Canon. sigh (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh, so sad!! cries Absolutely heartbreaking. (Reply to this)

	Lovely, the way the red in his hood picks out the red of the blood, which filters through Severus hair. Difficult angles to draw as well, but the part I like the most is Harry's clenched fingers in Severus' robe. (Reply to this)

	I love the hand at the front -- so dramatic! (Reply to this)

	Nice evocative use of red and kudos for attempting a difficult angle! This scene always makes me teary! (Reply to this)

	Oh man, that just breaks my heart all over again. It's so emotional and so very lovely. (Reply to this)

	This is so sad and dramatic. I love the colours. Fantastic job! (Reply to this)

	Wonderful emotion and body language. You can't see their faces, but somehow of all the death scene pics so far, yours conveys the greatest intimacy and loss. Wonderful! (Reply to this)

	secretsolitaire 2007-10-23 12:00 pm UTC (link)
	This is amazing. We can't see Harry's face, but the pose, and the way his hands are clutching, conveys such depths of emotion. Beautiful -- one of my favorites so far. (Reply to this)

	hambares 2007-10-23 12:15 pm UTC (link)
	So much blood and sadness! (Reply to this)

	ariadneelda 2007-10-23 12:18 pm UTC (link)
	Oh my god. This is absolutely heartwrenching and makes me want to cry. The way Harry grips Snape and has buried his face in Snape's neck - you captured so much emotion. And that's a very hard angle to do, wow. Wonderful work! (Reply to this)

	blackcoyote 2007-10-23 12:30 pm UTC (link)
	The sadness, the blood, this is how it should have happened, if happen it had to. (Reply to this)

	stellamoon 2007-10-23 01:40 pm UTC (link)
	Wow. That's awesome, really. (Reply to this)

	jillypooh 2007-10-23 02:34 pm UTC (link)
	You've managed to convey such powerful emotions here. Beautiful piece. (Reply to this)

	winnett 2007-10-23 02:53 pm UTC (link)
	This is lovely. I had to relook at it to get the angst off of it, though... because I didn't see the angst at first. But it is there, and subtle and very well done. Thanks! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	pennswoods 2007-10-24 03:47 am UTC (link)
	Your comment made me smile. I think it's all a matter of context isn't it. Without the blood, all this would be is a tender moment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	winnett 2007-10-24 04:11 pm UTC (link)
	I'm so glad I made you smile! Actually, it was the grip of Harry's hand in Severus' clothing. That is a desperation grip. That is a 'damn, why did this have to happen' clutching. Subtle, but it screams when you see it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	kookoolaka 2007-10-23 04:29 pm UTC (link)
	Oh such emotion. I love the clenched hand. (Reply to this)

	lalaith_niniel 2007-10-23 05:45 pm UTC (link)
	The grip Harry has on Severus says so much, and hurts so much. (Reply to this)

	aragon_san 2007-10-23 07:29 pm UTC (link)
	Kudos fur choosing such a difficult angle! And you made the perspective work very well, conveying strong emotion even with none of their faces truly visible. Uhm, what's with the white patch next to Snape's face in the blood? Is it deliberate? I tried to see what it could possibly be but come up with nothing... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	pennswoods 2007-10-24 03:27 am UTC (link)
	It was deliberate, and was meant to be a part of his shirt colar. However, I think logically that there was probably so much blood that the collar would have been fully saturated so that no white remained. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Please please tell me Snape wakes up in this AU otherwise this is so sad cries! Very beautiful well done! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Wonderfully done and so sad. I love the colors and the mix of the blood in Snape's hair.~Sophia (Reply to this)

	ivylady 2007-10-23 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	Poor Harry. I love the fact that you don't need to see his face to understand his pain. Well done. (Reply to this)

	lampblack 2007-10-24 02:53 am UTC (link)
	Powerful work... The clenching hand, the hand in Severus' hair, the position of bodies, so intimate... if only it was a position of love, not death... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	pennswoods 2007-10-24 03:40 am UTC (link)
	If I were on team romance, this would definitely be a position of love - the precursor to the kiss that brought Severus back. Alas, that would not be angsty enough. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	calico_sky 2007-10-24 03:38 am UTC (link)
	Wow - it's amazing how much emotion you've managed to portray - without even showing any expressions! Great job! :D (Reply to this)

	glockgal 2007-10-24 03:43 am UTC (link)
	Man, the blood, I can't stop staring at it. So fantastically graphic and tragic, it works so well! YAY TEAM ANGST!! (Reply to this)

	dacro 2007-10-24 05:39 am UTC (link)
	oh, so touching! hugs There's so much power and emotion. I really like how you tied the red of Harry's hoodie/robes to the blood. heart breaks (Reply to this)

	snariphiliac 2007-10-24 05:46 am UTC (link)
	There have been so many depictions of this scene in fandom so far; yours is easily one of my top favorites. The emotion is so palpable and painful; this is really beautiful work. Thank you! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	pennswoods 2007-10-24 03:56 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you for your kind words. I really struggled with the content of this entry, but in the end, this scene drew me back. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	miyoung_boz 2007-10-24 08:42 am UTC (link)
	NNOOOOO!! DDD: omg, the angle you've drawn this makes it so much more intense. poor snape...poor harry. nice work! (Reply to this)

	klynie1 2007-10-24 12:13 pm UTC (link)
	I love how well you captured the moment - and well-done with a difficult perspective! (Reply to this)

	szefi 2007-10-24 02:29 pm UTC (link)
	Very nice and very-very sad. (Reply to this)

	ships_harry 2007-10-24 08:34 pm UTC (link)
	The blood is so vibrant, I really like how it's all through Snape's hair like that. (Reply to this)

	athenakt 2007-10-25 04:23 pm UTC (link)
	The angle you chose to use gives the overall picture a gripping effect. I really like your use of Harry's grip on the hair and robes. Well done! (Reply to this)

	rakina 2007-10-25 04:44 pm UTC (link)
	pennswoods, this cut me to pieces, and as such is a perfect example of its genre and your team (and marked as such). Just ow. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh my. That's such a high compliment. blushes (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Poor Harry. His devastation here comes through so clearly. Brilliant. (Reply to this)

	cries You just broke my heart again. I really didn't understand how Harry managed to walk away from Severus in the Shack. How did he not throw himself on the man?! sniffs Great job with the blood and Harry's hand holding on tight to Severus' robes. (Reply to this)

So I'm in tears.... seriously. I must have missed this during the '07 games, but man.... Penns...... this hurts so damn much! I can practically see Harry vibrating with despair and feel his shock and pain and disbelief. The red... oh the red just ties everything together and the way that we're brought so close to them in the picture, it's not as though we can catch ourselves or get any kind of emotional distance by being further away - no, we're RIGHT IN THE ACTION.

Heartbreaking. Beautiful.
