its nice to know that Severus is now dealing with his issues and that ending of that chapter just made me go Oooh. It wasnt the classical sweet ending of a chapter that makes you feel fluffy inside but there was great meaning in when Severus said "Space, with you in it" that it was still sweet but not overly so

It was really phenomenal how you made Severus go through the process of grieving and angry at everything that has happened in his life.
Great job!

Oh, I'm so glad that Harry came back for Severus! Snape is likely to put the worst possible interpretation on things; how wonderful to know that something good is going to happen instead. Good chapter.

Oh, my, yes. Hermione is right. Anger turned outward can make a lot of noise; but anger turned inward can kill. And Snape has never been in a space safe enough for long enough to allow himself to mourn everything he's lost. I worried when I read he was giving up his home lab, as it was yet another sacrifice for someone else. But at least he'll have it _somewhere_.

And now he's gained so much. Harry stayed with him, when very few others would have, and now Severus realizes that Harry isn't using the slave bond against him, when he's never really been free of one before. Perfect trust _is_ freedom, and now both of them have it.

Bows. I look forward to your new story as I am savoring the old. It was a long, strange journey, where Tom nearly won after all; but love did instead. *glows*

Yes, that works - I mean, that Al is worried about what might be in his head. But the fact that he is worried is a very good sign in itself, of course, and a good guarantee that he won't turn dark.

Wow. That was a hell of a ride. I loved how you tied Dumbledore back in since he was, ultimately, the cause of this crazy adventure.
I am so happy for Severus! He finally found peace, both within and without.
Awesome story. You are a truly gifted writer!
