Haha, well, finding out it's your fic explains *all* :D Like, the great dialogue, the loving insight into the characters, and the rich, fraught complexity of Snape's and Harry's history that keeps both them and readers uncertain which way they'll go.
Also? Getting your reply makes such a great reason to go re-read and see why I thought all those nice things about it in the first place! *g* Another read confirms: all that, and more! Nice to see there is plenty of life left in the Snarryverse, for authors who can deploy creativity, pacing and humor to steer between the Scylla of schmoop and the Charybdis of uninviting angst. I'm SO glad you continue to write! You and a few others make Snarry such readable and sexy fun. *hugs*
