Well done! Terse and to the very painful, heart-wrenching point. So very tender and hot, and I can absolutely put myself in Snape's place. It is not a happy place to be. This makes me think about their future - Harry being married off, Snape no longer teaching him, having to stop seeing him entirely since they don't exist on the same plane. I can only hope Harry hires Snape to stay on the staff, keeping him around forever. You know that Harry loves him deeply. More likely, Snape went on to live a lonely life without Lord Harry, living on memories. *hangs head*
