Freedom comes at a high price for the living sometimes, but the cost of dying whilst misjudged is much, much more ...

I'm way too old to be visiting sites like this (dare I admit to forty-something!) but my love of all things Severus Snape/Alan Rickman keep me addicted! Poor health keeps me from working and at home all day and gives me too many excuses to read/write fan fiction in an attempt to keep me sane. I have two lovely sons, and an even lovelier hubby, to try and keep me on the 'straight and narrow'. And, now, they're aided in that task by the more recent addition to our family of two beautiful black, male, kittens - Merlin and Mesmer! (I wanted to call them both Alan Rickman-related names, so, naturally, one was very nearly 'Severus'... Unfortunately, my family drew the line at that particular wizard so I had to be a bit more subtle - hence Mesmer [as in Franz Anton for those not familiar with the AR film, 'Mesmer']; the name also happens to be short for mesmerising!) ;-)
I have a few stories (and poems) posted at Occlumency, under the same pen name as here, and have gradually been expanding on my repertoire both here and there over the last two or three years. Despite claiming to be in 'fanfic retirement' of recent times, I now find myself with newer additions on Ashwinder, Fanfiction.net and Granger Enchanted where I go by the names of Sevvy253 or Sevvysgirl/Sevvysgirl253. However, this site retains the most complete listing of all my work to date.
I also have an account on DeviantArt - http://sevvysgirl.deviantart.com/
where I am gradually starting to display some of my artwork 'attempts'! :-)
And - finally - I'm being totally shameless in promoting my own new shop on Etsy! Here is the link: http://www.etsy.com/shop/sevvy253?ref=si_shop
I'm only just starting up, so stock is limited at the moment, but I'm hoping I will go on to bigger (and better) things. From little acorns, and all that ... Please feel free to pop by from time to time to see what changes may be in store (no pun intended!)

Oh Sevvy, you made me well up. Poor, poor Severus.
Response from Sevvy (Author of True Colours)
I know, I should be writing something more cheery really (but don't think I'm capable of that right now so transferring my sadness to the poor Potions master seems like quite a good excuse!)Maybe you should borrow the hankie from Morgaine (after she's washed it of course!) and in the meantime I'll try and reserect Severus and give him a better life next time round ... thanks for reviewing though! :-)

Thank you, my dear friend. Have a nice, soft hankie to dry your tears :-)

"I didn't understand then..." This is something every SSHG writer, I think, has to deal with at some time. She left him there, and then when she finds out the truth much later via the memories that Harry took, she's got to live with the guilt. I'd like assauge it for her: they didn't know. How could they? He did his job so well.
Very nice work.
Author's Response: You are so right of course. He did do his job well - too well I guess really! And, yes, how could they have known. But I guess that doesn't stop the hurt (if that's the right word) all of us SS writers feel for him. JKR never wrote of anyone feeling guilt after his death - other than Harry giving his eldest son the middle name Severus of course - but I don't see how they couldn't have felt that in the strongest terms.
Thanks so much for the review!
Very touching, good work.
