Sad and sweet.

Hi again! Loved the gradual change in Sev's attitude towards the unnamed lady. Wait, he becomes a...a...a GHOST???? Well, tbh, he does have a few vague similarities with the Baron (for instance, they both share a dark, brooding nature and a don't-you-dare-mess-with-me attitude)... hmm hmm, you got me thinking!

At least there was some love in his life,and he will wait for her to join him.

So sad.   At least they ahd some happiness before the end. 

This was simply beautiful and very sad simultaneously. I love it. 

This was sad, but at least they had a bit of time together. I liked that it was a no-name witch.  Lovely.

Wonderful! Love the *everywoman/witch* persona but at the same time she's uniquely *unique* & special and an equal solitaire soul as our dearest Severus is... Love your slow build - year by year - of their interactions, and of course, love the vision of him having had someone & some affection/tenderness in his life: beautiful, moving comapact one-shot: lovely, poignant work as always!

Blue eyes, eh? Hmm, that rules out Hermione.Such a excruciatingly long courtship, and such a devastatingly short time together. It's a beautiful story. Thanks for writing and posting it.

I must admit that, for the snarky little pest you are, you write these touching pieces even too well. I am always ready to surrender to the emotions that you evoke.Beautiful story and beautiful feelings. The more we age, the more we are surrounded by the ghosts of those we've met, known, loved. Even if they are still alive but no longer living with us or near us, memories are like quiet ghosts. I am an old, emotional Italian, you know?Grazie per averci regalato un'altra piccola parte di te.However, I have a very private thought about this story that I can't share here. But if you want, I can send you a PM.

que triste.he is there, around her, but no way to be together again.So sad, that they hadn't been granted more time together.*sniff*well, hard decision, but she might be right. Staying in his quartes is all fine,  but it would sooner or later madden her,  to be so close to one beloved, and never get him back. Rather face the music and leave. Keep him in your heart, but end the story.

Aw... poor thing.  I'm glad she has her memories to draw from and that he's there to wish her well even if he doesn't do so directly.

This is bittersweet. It's lovely to think Severus had some support and happiness in his final years. It's sad for his partner who is left behind, but he obvioulsy cared enough for her to want her happiness in the end, though sad for him to lose her.

How sad, but why would Severus be a ghost?  He was a brave man so he likely wasn't afraid to cross over.  

I like the way you don't give her a name.  Just a little comfort for him over those last years.:)

I know it's sad for her, whoever she may be, but I find the idea that Severus had someone to share the misery of his last horrific year, comforting. It's a much pleasanter thought than the fate Ms Rowling had for him. This was tender, painful and poignant. And you still managed to evoke a smile with the little glimpse at his flitration with Ms X.LOVELY!

so sad, so beatiful. It is nice to know he at least had a year or so of happines

Now, the question is: Is this Aurora Sinistra, Septima Vector, or someone else? Poor thing. Well written, you said a lot with few words.

I don't know who she might be but honestly it doesn't really matter. I'm just glad they found some happiness together in the middle of a war and am terribly sad he's not here anymore for her.

Oh my, how sad, for the both of them. I always find the image of Snape as a ghost particularly sad, since it feels like even moving over peacefully was denied to him.
Is this OC the one of your long (two?) fics? I haven't read them yet, so I won't know. But it works perfectly as a stand-alone, even if it is. Great work! *sniffle*

Author's Response: The woman was inspired by one of my OCs (Morgaine), but then again, it's not her. Just another lonely soul.
