TEAM PHOENIX ENTRY: Vain "To Stay the Shadow"
Title: To Stay the Shadow
Author: Vain [info]vain
Team: Phoenix
Genres: Angst
Prompt: Reckoning & Ashes of Youth
Rating/Warnings: R; *Book 6 & 7 S.P.O.I.L.E.R.S. Please note, this story is NOT Book 7 compliant; AU-ish; language; angst.*
Word Count: ~25,400
Summary: Once upon a time Severus Snape fell in love. And then everything went wrong.
A/N: All the definitions preceding the chapters are taken from "The Devil's Dictionary," by Ambrose Bierce, originally published in newspapers in a serialized version between 1881 and 1906 as "The Cynic's Word Book," and then bound and republished in 1911 under its current name.
Special Thanks once again to the mods for not killing me after email # 3, and especially to my invaluable betas [info]venivincere, [info]alisanne, & [info]ziasudra for beating me with Spelling, Grammar, and Diction Sticks. They are now my personal heroes and made this story a thousand times better; all remaining errors are solely my own. Also, much love to the rest of Team Phoenix for all their help and support. This would never have been completed if not for you guys’ feedback and encouragement. ♥
Plagiarism is no one’s friend.

Thank you! ^_^ It's rare that someone likes it when the main pairing in a fic splits in the resolution, but I think that Snarry really only works under very specific circumstances. And those circumstances aren't met in every scenario. (Though that doesn't stop me from loving the happy H/C fics that don't fit my mental writing mold.) I like your distinction between the 'Snape' role and Severus himself. It brings about a whole other question in my mind as to whether or not Severus himself could distinguish himself from the role he's played for so long. In many ways, we are what we do.

Thank you for reviewing and I'm glad you enjoyed the fic.
