AN: Thanks to auctasinistra, joanwilder, and perfica. The most amazing betas and the best people evah to have at one's back. Without them, I would be nothing, my fic might very well be gibberish, and "heel" would consistently be spelled h-e-a-l. And many thanks to centaury_squill and gingertart50 for Britpicking; they never got to go through the whole fic, so any errors in usage are entirely down to me.

found Harry by far the least sympathetic That's as it should be, I think - the person who's actually doing the cheating is the one that's most in the wrong - but I wrote it from Harry's perspective because I wanted him to be at least somewhat sympathetic; anyone else's perspective would have made him come off even worse.

I'm very happy you liked the portrayals of Snape and Ginny. Because of the Harry perspective, I was afraid they wouldn't come off as 3-dimensional -- Harry, in canon, isn't the most reliable narrator. Snape was easier because I actually see him in 3-D. Ginny, OTOH, is pretty 2-dimensional in canon, but for this fic it seemed really important to me that she not be portrayed as a harridan or empty; she needed to be as 3-dimensional as Snape and her relationship with Harry needed (for me, anyway) to be a good one, a loving one, because how else to explain 20 years of marriage, and I was going for as canon-compliant as possible.

Thanks so much for the meaty comment and, of course, for taking the time to read the fic.
