re: Number Thirteen I hope saying so doesn't make me sound snobbish.
Not at all - I know what you mean. This was actually my first real Snape/Harry story. I'm just thrilled that this story ranked highly enough to keep you all the way to the end!
Your Severus was just so spot-on
Yay! He's my favorite, of course, and I'm tickled that you thought he was well done here.
