Avatar blank done by LeDevineMarqiuse, adaptation done by Creamuts for me per request.

I am: an unrepentant Snape supporter, female, mid-thirties, a person that loves me the het and gen fic, a big fan of Darkfic and Death Eater fic, a person that doesn't t like werewolves, a person that doesn't care for about 99% of the slash, which (despite vehement protestations to the contrary), does not make me homophobic. I just don't like AU and OOC, and that's what most slash is. At least, most of what I've seen.

Really if you want to know more about me, my LJ is a better place for this.

Intriguing. Is this really all there is? Nicely done.

Response from cmwinters (Author of Trust)

Well, yeah.  Sort of.  It's sort of a knock-off AU of a story I'm ostensibly working on.  *eyeroll at self*In the story I'm working, Harry & Snape don't ever have this confrontation, but the rest of it (Snape being the one at Godric's Hollow, the shell-shock, etc) do happen.I recommend not holding your breath; my muse has moved out on me. She wants a divorce.

I like their convo and trust, albeit limited. Can't wait to see what's next.

Response from cmwinters (Author of Trust)

Alas, alack, this ficlet is complete.  Although that seems to have gotten quite a few rotten tomatoes thrown in my general direction...everyone wants to see this continue.

I won't be going any further on this, at least not now, but the longer project I have in the works has Chapter 1 from Snape's perspective.  Chapters 2-4 are entirely A/U (from my OWN FIC...how sick am I?!), because in the longer one, Harry doesn't actually look into the Pensieve, hence the A/U part.  This is more like a "but what would happen if he DID?"

However...the rest of it...well, all of it, basically supports my theory that Snape *was* at Godric's Hollow, and I am very anxious to see if that is borne out.

southern_witch_69's response: Oh, I see. I was thinking that you'd have another bit to add on. You know how us nosey readers are. If Snape had been there, this would have been a good way for it to have happened. I'm of the belief that he was at Hogwarts and that Peter was with Voldemort (since Peter had the wand, since Snape said he was at the castle, and since Dumbledore had the cloak). I really hope things work out for him though--redemption wise and being able to live.Thanks for sharing this.

Your last review response said something about Death.... Noooooo..... LOL So far so good!

Response from cmwinters (Author of Trust)

Oh, "the plot bunnies of death"?  Yikes, you scared me.  Heh.

Never fear, tPBoD are just an evil cult that have all kinds of ideas spring to me at the most INAPPROPRIATE times, *unfailingly* when I am not near a keyboard.

I ended up buying an audio recorder to contain them; I put something like an hour and a half worth of 7-90 second snippets that amounted to "oh and write this in there" "oh, and we have to figure out $foo".  It's been highly annoying.

As near as I recall, I am not killing anyone who doesn't get killed in canon. Except for the epilogue, but that might work it's way to canon anyway.

I'm somewhat of a canon nazi...

Holy crap! This is turning out fantastic! Great pacing, and interesting ideas!

Response from cmwinters (Author of Trust)

I'm so glad you're enjoying this. :)  I hope you continue to enjoy the story, although it's almost over...

However, the longer WIP I'm working on will have the underlying story told from Snape's perspective. :)

I really enjoyed this, and I can't wait to see what's next. There is something next, right? hehe... I like that Snape tried to help.

Response from cmwinters (Author of Trust)

I'm quite glad you enjoyed this.  Although, of course immediatley after I posted them, I got hit by the PLOT BUNNIES OF DEATH, and so had to edit both chapters 1 and 2.

However (*wink*) , chapters 3 and 4 are in the queue now.   I have a feeling you'll be seeing them soon. :P

I do recommend re-reading 1 & 2 though, because that's some kind of "big" stuff that got added.

This fic is basically an "A/U"ish style companion to my longer WIP...while Harry won't actually look into the Pensieve in my WIP, this is like, "What would have happened if he'd done it."  You also might be interested in my post about this entire theory, over on hp_essays on LJ. 

And as of chapter 4, it's completed. ;) 

8/10

Fenrir

Interesting story.

Response from cmwinters (Author of Trust)

Thank you.  I wrote an essay about the theory, actually.  I did have to update chapters 1 & 2, and 3 & 4 are in the queue now, so you may be interested in re-reading them. :)

Response from Fenrir (Reviewer)

I am, and will check them out, thanks!
