Thanks for sticking with the fic until the end. I realize this type of story is not everyone's cup of tea, and I probably should have warned for violence along with slavery. I'm sorry it took you by surprise.
As for Harry not knowing about Snape's role, I wanted to put a little more in there about that to clarify but I'm a procrastinator and the deadline snuck up on me. Totally my fault.
This was my reasoning. In canon, Harry found out about Snape through his memories, which he received when Snape died. Since Snape never died in my story, Harry doesn't have the memories and so doesn't know about Snape. I'll be honest and admit I didn't even try to figure out how Harry found out he'd have to sacrifice himself. That still happened, since he needed to get rid of the scar horcrux. However, Harry did actually kill Voldemort because he was still pissed and already being tempted by the darkness. That's how it played out in my mind, anyway. *shrug* It's probably still confusing. XD
Thank you, and I really do appreciate you reading all the way to the end. I drove my beta crazy asking if Harry seemed too psycho, so I'm very glad his behavior seemed realistic.
I've never really written smut before, and even though this was tame by most standards, I definitely had fun writing that scene. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
