A/N: First, thank you to the mods for creating the Games in the first place and for having the patience of saints. leela_cat did a phenomenal job with this in a ridiculously short time. Whatever coherence the fic has is due to her heroic efforts and hand-holding. Also thanks to Team Phoenix for putting up with my fumbling captaincy and for helping to make this an enjoyable ride. Lastly, many thanks to my beloved rinsbane for talking me through to the images I needed. I wish this were a better first offering, my dear.

*With gratitude to leela_cat and apologies to T. S. Eliot.

	I can't comment - I don't know what to say - I've been wrenched & torn & broken open. Extraordinary. And so wonderful, I don't have the words. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you for such a lovely comment. Or non-comment. ;-) To know someone is struck speechless is as thrilling as the wildest applause. I hope the wrenching-open was more cathartic than painful. I was kind of shocked myself at what I did to Snape, but I always intended to give him what he was denied in canon. Freedom. And love. (Reply to this) (Parent)
