I apologize for the typos. I was under severe deadline with two major fics due within two weeks of each other and I had already asked for an extension. I will address these errors when I post it in my LJ.
Well, not knowing you I can't exactly say why it didn't move you, but if atonement and redemption aren't kinks of yours, then I don't think this story will speak to you. I had MAJOR issues with the way DH was handled, larger issues that go beyond the death of Snape (which on principle I was okay with it was how it was done that bugged the shit out of me). And for me, coming from a Catholic perspective, the deterministic cast of the series ultimately didn't sit well with me. This fic addresses that disconnect. If that construct didn't bug you in the book, then I don't think this fic would resonate with you.
Anyway, thanks for sticking with it, even though it didn't sing to you.
