I enjoyed this very much.

I liked the way you healed Snape's injuries, that was clever and different. I loved the red curtain with the jingly brass rings, and I loved Snape's new Patronus, and the fact that Harry had appropriated his original doe.

Lots of other things to like here, too, including the little pictures interspersed throughout. Quite AU at times, but I do like your Snape and Harry quite a lot, so I was happy to imagine them both dancing along to a muggle punk rock band and liking each other so much. :D

The phoenix tear sherbet lemon was all Acid's idea, and it struck me as the sort of thing Dumbledore might've done.

Snape's new Patronus struck me as a possible outcome of his recent triumph over death, given that we know that Patronuses change shape as a response to emotional upheaval. Also, the doe staying with Harry was a way of showing that Snape had at last moved on from his former obsession with Lily.

I'm especially glad the AUness worked for you: I've long thought that Snape was just the right age, and from just the right (urban poor) social class, to be one of the original punks.

Thank you very much!

Ahh yes! There were times when I stared at the scene layouts and thought - now, making it even remotely canon-compliant is going to be a headache. Then I grinned at the dialogue and thought - canon or not, this was extremely fun to write anyway.

Dumbledore's phoenix tear sherbet was a last minute idea that sort of resonated in my mind with Harry's 'I'm about to die' snitch. As for the curtain, I think we both contributed to that - I suggested the idea of Harry wearing a curtain for a cape and Sinick filled in its appearance, role, and where it originated.

I am really glad to hear you liked it! :)
