Oh my!  The shamanic dance scene was quite funny, with the shakers and the jiggling and the nudity- I was laughing to my laptop!  I imagine that if anyone could be annoyed into consciousness, it would be Severus "The Irritable" Snape.

Just too funny!  Well done!

The ending is very probably what Snape would have felt in that situation.  It just makes me wonder what he'll decide to do next and how that would turn out.  You don't have any little plot bunnies biting along this line, do you?

Very nicely done. :D I love how Hermione and Harry wouldn't give up. You also did a very nice job painting his existence in the coma. Poor Severus. I can see that after so long he would find life a bit overwhelming again.

This was a really good take on the prompt#31.  The humor and the open ending was prefect.  Great job.

It would be nice if he would seize his chance at happiness and be really grateful to have life restored to him, but I really can see him having those kinds of doubts. He deserved sweet relief from the stress of his life until Nagini's attack, and I can see him preferring nothingness, quiet, peace. He doesn't really have any reason to expect anything better from life. Hopefully, Hermione and Harry will help him with the transition.  =)  Great story; it was truly enjoyable.

They annoyed him back to life  LMAO!

I like the ending. It gives the reader pause to think of any number of ways things could end up. Thank you mystery author

I can see Snape beeing irritated out of a coma and then being grumpy about it.  :D

irratated him back to consciousness!!  love it!  thanks

good take on the challenge

Oh, my.  Poor Severus.  I almost want to know what happens next. 

This was different. No ‘happily ever after’ in sight, but well written and an intriguing take on the prompt… I look forward to the second chapter.

"They annoyed him back to life." LMAO! Great story. Not everything must be round and nice, life has asperities and unwanted turns, doesnt it?

I have to say how surpised I am at how sad this one turned out to be.  For a one-shot I was hoping for more resolution.  Oh well.  It is nicely written and an enjoyable read.  In my mind, Severus comes to terms with living -- almost for the first time.  And he doesn't do it alone.  Thanks for sharing your version of his future, JoAnne

They've annoyed him back to life..."

That's priceless - that is! That wraps up everything about Snape's relationship with Potter and Granger!

Except, I thought a little happiness for Snape could have entailed maybe at a glimpse of Hermione naked. That could give him that nudge towards "glad to be alive"?  You know, the thought he might see her breasts again?

Just a thought.

Funny Story

Wow - an unexpected ending for sure! Yet, for Snape, very realistic :) Good writing.

Oh, I like this story! It just goes to show that not every well-written fanfic must have lots of lemon and romance.

i liked your take on this prompt.  severus's musings when he thought he was dead seemed very much in character.  i also appreciated that there was quite a bit of wit and humor in the piece.  my favorite line, that had me rolling:"Merlin! They've annoyed him back to life..."   if anyone could annoy him back to life, it'd be the two of them, wouldn't it?i just didn't love the last sentence, because i want him to be as happy to have a second chance at life as i am to have him back from the grave.  but that reflects less on your writing than on my desire to see him have a happy ending.  overall, i think you did a great job.

I like how this isn't tied up in some pretty little bow, and I think that him missing the "peace" is a great take on things.

"Merlin! They've annoyed him back to life..." he whispered to himself in astonishment.  ROFLMAO!  Too bad poor Severus is so ambivalent about life at the end.  I hope you do write a sequel to this after the challenge is over.

I can see how the two of them could annoy him to wakefulness.Is there the possibility of a sequal in the future. The conclusion seems so open ended. Will it help if I beg?

"Merlin! They've annoyed him back to life..."It fits superbly with the part of the challenge - "there's this irritating know-it-all with a crazy shaman trance plan and a boy-who-just-won't-bugger-off."Lovely!!
