Girl, this is just some powerful stuff. Such insight to Snape\'s psyche.

That last paragraph really brought a smile to my face, after having cried with sorrow for the poor child Severus all through the rest of it! You write so beautifully, Dame Niamh...I wish I had seen your work before. Blessings, Kait xx

Happy Yuletide and Happy New Year! This is not a review of my own story, but a thank-you to those who have read it! Blessed be!

I needed this; thank you.

Tonight is the solstice; today will be spent searching for something meaningful that I can do asolitolitary witch to celebrate, something that can be done on the porch of an apartment with nosy neighbors and a husband who does not believe as I do.

I wish I could attend a celebration like the one you described, with a bonfire big as a house and countless friends arrayed around it, openly celebrating in light and laughter, welcoming the return of the sun with good cheer and giddy anticipation. I feel as though I have before, although I know perfectly well I have not- I feel as though I\'m missing some grand tradition that I should rightly be a part of and simply cannot find my way toward.

Reading this made my heart ache, but it was a good ache: it was a reminder that I really am not alone in this.

Thank you.
