The snarry_games have the best Mods in fandom—they've worked so hard for years to give all of us such a supportive environment in which to play—thank you! Also, my heartfelt appreciation to jadzialove for the excellent beta reading, to whitecotton for help with Scottish-izing my Scottish, and to sestra_prior for her assistance with British questions. Team Snitch, thanks for your input, your team spirit, and your love of Snarry. It's been a privilege and honor to cavort with you all and wield my big stick. Lastly, I'd be remiss if I didn't express my appreciation to Rudyard Kipling for his masterpiece, Captains Courageous.

Summary: Belonging and deserving, needing and wanting—desires of the human heart that Severus and Harry must face when they're forced to the little village of Lochdubh to settle a very late codicil of Albus Dumbledore's will.

This story caught me up and wouldn't let me go until I reached the end. I adored Severus and his cat. And the way that Harry and Severus interacted.

My only complaint, and it's minor in comparison to how much I loved about the story, is how easily Harry forgave Dumbledore (and even Severus) for turning his life upside-downin the name of the war against Voldemort. I understand why you did it that way, but I have to believe that some day Harry will erupt again over it all.

But really, as I said, it's a minor complaint for a story that I enjoyed reading.

I'm not altogether certain Harry 'forgave' Dumbledore, but he knows the reasoning behind much of what he did, and understanding has to begin there. Also, he's reunited with a family now, and finally has the person in his life that's been missing for the past ten years. I do believe there can be a resolution to emotional trauma, especially when there is a strong support system. And if Harry does 'erupt again over it all', he won't be alone this time. That makes all the difference.

Glad to hear you liked the rest of the story. Thanks for reading and commenting.

	Agreed, it does make a difference that Harry doesn't have to deal with things on his own any longer. And I very much loved that he and Severus built such a strong relationship during this story. (Reply to this) (Parent)
