DH compliant fics usually don't bring tears to my eyes... this was hard to read because of the severity of my sniffling by the end. It was a fitting tribute to canon Snape and a beautiful fic. 

Well, so much for that mascara... (tears running down my face) Wow, that was beautiful. Even though I REFUSE to accept Snape's death, if it had happened, this is how it SHOULD have happened. I definitely see why this won an award. It was lovely and moving and perfect. Thank you very much for posting it, Cat

I ran across this and had to give it a read.  I try to avoid book seven compliant ficts because of Severus's sad end.  He deserved much better than what Jo gave him.  Although this fiction was sad, it was still beautiful. 

:)

That was beautiful beyond words. It brought a few tears to my eye. Finally, a fitting send-off to one of the most touching anti-heroes in fiction. Unfortunately, now that I've read this story, I can no longer live in denial of his death. But the sacrifice is worth it, because this is the honorable memorial service I could ever hope for him to have had. Thank you.

that was beautiful. I think that was a very nice and very proper ending for poor Severus.

I enjoyed this bittersweet tribute to Snape.

Thanks for providing the tribute so sadly lacking in DH.  And for making me cry!

This was a very wonderful and touching epilogue for Severus. A scene I really would have liked to have seen in the book. I know JKR didn't like him, and he was still a bit selfish in the end, but he did do the right thing. Thank you for this and the tear it brought to my eye.

wow how touching brilliant

I loath the ending of DH...I honestly think that Severus should have been able to live, but if he had to die then I think you have found the best way possible to provide him closure.Beautifully written.  Irish

Very touching and emotional.  Thanks for writing!

beautifully written

Your writing on this story was fabulous.  I don't read stories like this, with dead Severus or ghost Severus.  I cried through the whole thing.  To have him honored this way was what Rowling should have done.  Thank you.

Beautiful and touching!Thanks for sharing your wonderful writing talent with us.

You are such a skilled writer. The books may have ended, but the story continued. I can easily imagine this scene in the aftermath of the final battle. This piece was a fitting tribute to Severus Snape that left me in tears. Thank you. 

Beautiful. I've been avoiding, mostly, the completely canon-compliant fics regarding Snape - as I'd much rather see him saved and alive! - but in a universe where he did die, I'd like to see that he did, indeed, get a goodbye fitting for a hero.It did make me bawl and cry into my dinner plate, but the food was too dry anyway. A wonderfully written piece.

I had tears in my eyes as I read this powerful story. Well done!!!Beth

i couldnt stop crying. this is truly a brilliant and moving piece of work

thank you for a way more fitting end than jkr ever gave him.  i don't think i'll ever forgive her but this helps.  thank you so much.

I did really enjoy this story. Thanks for writing it. It was beautiful and befitting to the events in DH. We all wish he had lived, but he did not, and it was nice to read about his goodbye. I really liked the doe leading the falcon home at the end. The falcon was a good choice. =)

Thanks again for writing such a moving story.

That was deeply touching. Especially Harry's speech.

You made me cry, dammit!

Oh I do that too where I go from fine to panic in 3 seconds over something forgotten. Although I have yet to forget a potion master!Thank you mystery author

thanks for writing and sharing this. it helps to fill in the huge gaping hole that some of us felt at the end of book 7, and gives the man the send off he surely earned.

Fantastic death fic, and this is the send off Snape should have got in the ruddy book.  Well done!
