This is a very emotional piece; a lot of upheaval encased within so short a work of verbal artistry. Nicely done.

sad and touching.  thanks

Interesting, I loved the cold hearted way Severus reached Hermione......it just seemed so right for him.

You always manage to beautifully reveal the most unexpected feelings.

I like Severus knowing a myth that most people don't and using it to comfort Hermione.  Thanks for your work!

This is very fine writing, very stark and very beautiful.

Good one shot - liked the characters and think this could make a good story should you decide to continue their story after the final battle - good work

Very bleak at first, then there is hope. The similarity in their thoughts says a great deal; perhaps these two survivors belong together.

I'm glad you turned her despair into tentative hope. The sadness was so very real. I'm glad he let her get her emotions out so she could think past them a bit. 

Beautiful.  You write despair so well.

Lovely. I enjoy your stories very much. The depth of emotion, whether it be love or pain, is completely visible throughout your work.

Poor Severus, he had to get her to feel something, even if it is pain, it's the first step toward healing.

Very...real life...What else can you do but moving on with your life?
