A canon compliant version of the last fourteen years in the life of Severus Snape. Canon compliant but with one important difference: in this story, Severus Snape has a friend. A friend who offers him her hand in the dark and will stay by his side until the bitter end.

Born: in the glorious year of 1979, when Dio joined Black Sabbath and Peter Pettigrew started passing on information to the Dark Lord
Colours: black, green, silver
Passions: writing, cooking, baking, witchcraft
Obsessions: quite a few, chocolate for one (hi Lupin!), but mainly a certain Potions master and a blond DE.
When I am not writing alone, I co-write with my favourite Ravenclaw star_girl. Look for sevs_starsisters to find our stories.
Published writer since 2014. Original fiction is good fun, but I find myself returning to fan fiction every now and then 
Reviews for Morgaine's Story
OMG - I had forgotten about Remus - *squee*; but its sad that he has to ruin Sev's happiness by his mere presence, but Morgaine loves the both - so, poor Sev will have to try to make the best of it!
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
I love Remus, too. He's such a sweetie.
So sweet a flow, so natural, and love Dumbledore's 'don't apologise for love'. Love the atmosphere and description, and, of course, their second round of kissing!

Longing back to Iceland now ...
Ah, so bittersweet, the departing scene; so glad Dumbles came up with something useful and truly beneficial for others - Iceland - absolutely!
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
At this part of the story, I still liked Dumbledore.
It takes only one unexpected thing to shatter a world... let alone send Sev back into deep painful waters - poor Morgaine, poor Sev! Great chapter - the twists of fate!
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
I'm mean, aren't I?
Love the mirrorring of the issues of trust and acceptance, double supported with the first person pov along with the third person; the natural, realistic evolvement between these two - wonderful!
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
I am very glad Morgaine had the courage to go see him and even more about the fact that Severus had the courage to talk to her.
Her growing determination to face the past, to force Severus to face the past, is heating things up quite quickly - and now, the truth is out for both of them - great chapter!

They share more than they know about yet. But you know that already :-)
The connection grows stronger and stronger!
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
That obvious, eh? ;-)
gah! Dumbles being Dumbles! Great chapter, and of course, i love it that you, as an author, haven't glossed over Death Eater 'happenings' and also the fact that Severus was one; it truly draws the reader into the authenticity and dilemma of their reality - wonderful!
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
Oh, I was told of so badly by some people when I first posted this chapter. Some of my readers didn't like what they read at all. But Death Eaters don't have cake and tea at five o'clock. They're not a nice crowd. Period.

I know it's been discussed before, but I truly can't comprehend how people are completed blase about DEs, like they went to the local tattoo shop & had an whimsical inspiration - the representation of all that is vile & inhuman & brutal in human nature, the supremist mentality it is - just is not associated with it... sorry to rant, just really loved that this is a part of the plot, being true to the canon depiction of DEs - not a nice crowd indeed!

"they went to the local tattoo shop & had a whimsical inspiration" Die, plot bunny! DIE!
Response from nagandsev (Reviewer)
Hahaha! Go for it! LOL!
Ah, yes, her innate ability to see into other's minds and great sense of empathy - and that phrase 'Look at me!' - a shiver went through me; wonderful!
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
Funny enough, my notes for this chapter are pre-DH!
Lovely - the reflections of Halloween, Severus' reluctance and struggling to openly show Morgaine praise - and the accent on Ancient Magic days of importance - love the intertwining of all of these elements!
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
Ok, it's settled! I'm going to read my own story now.
Yes, Bill Weasley - now it's coming back to me! Her relationship with Molly and others, and her innocent tolerance of the other house members... - looking forward to the tutorials!
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
Wonder if I should go back and re-read myself ...
Mmm- love the unspoken, budding chemistry between them - an unspoken curiosty & searching - lovely!
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
Mmm - love the subtle development and revelation of Morgaine's skills; love how she knows just what Severus is suffering from and just what he needs Also, love the first person/third person dynamics and rhythm of the story-telling, and all the Potions detailed - wonderful!
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
She's a little saint, our Morgaine. (That's actually the only thing that every annoyed me about her.)
I'm snuggling in and enjoying re-reading this inspirational tale! I remember many moons ago having discovered Morgaine, and enjoyed the sequel so much - love ow you set up Morgaine coming from the Old Ways & Old Religion - yum!
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
Naw, how sweet of you to re-read. Of all my OCs, Morgaine will always be closest to my heart. I miss her, and I am very sorry for all the pain I caused her. I have thought many times about editing this story, and polish it, grammar, structure, etc. But I can't do it. This is my first story, my baby. I'll never change a word.Thanks for re-reading and your kind words.
