Wow, I never read a fanfic with more wisdom in the moral of its story.... actually I'm fairly certain I never read a fanfic that had a moral to its story... :-) This was wonderfully wise. I'm going to think about regrets differently now, that's for sure. Great idea, beautifully conceived, nicely executed. Plus, Severus is a virgin -- who lost his virginity in the afterlife....*scratches head* Quite literally, he died a virgin, and then came back to life as not a virgin...go figure. :-)
