Love this story as I like all of your work I've read. I love how we've seen the real Harry in his momnet of clarity and how Snape struggled with killing him. I'm still holding out for a semi-happy ending. I can't wait to see what happens.

Wow, you just keep surprising me. These last few chapters have been amazing (well, the whole story is) and it is getting more heartwrenching with each new chapter.
But you didn't really kill them off, did you? My guess would be that Harry finally has his Charing Cross Station episode and maybe Severus will be there as well as he seems close to death as well, thanks to the slave-bond.
BTW, thank you to your frequent updates.

I wanted Harry to die, or at least thought so but now that is done it made me sad. I had hoped (back when I was giggling) that somebody else would kill him because it seemed so unfair that Severus had to be the one to kills both his masters.

Are you emotionally exhausted right now? I feel a little drained just from reading. If I could draw I would make a Severus/Harry Pieta, that and one of Severus sobbing while holding his hand under the faucet.

The perfect way for it to end...but has it? It doesn't feel like the end of this. I'm just afraid that Severus may find himself regretting that.
Emotional masterpiece!

I never figured that Snape would be able to take the Elder Wand. At least that "coffee" was good for something. Although I definitely saw Harry asking to be killed once he started to become normal Harry again. Die as Harry, very nice. I'm glad for that "to be continued" although I'm hoping that it isn't just going to continue on to how everyone recovered. So... King's Cross? :D :D I'm definitely excited for the next chapter. I guess it will have to be Dumbledore after all. He is the usual person in the books to explain all of the loose ends (which is probably why I wasn't satisfied with the seventh book). Although I do hope Snape will be there as well. I have to wonder, as dust, if Voldemort is just going to look like a mass of dark shadows like the book. Also wondering about what Dumbledore's portrait. Also I liked that line that Harry is Tom who believes he is Harry. Interesting. So it looks like the ending will be either sad and sweet or sad and sweet. lol If they don't come back to life, everyone (Lily, Sirius, James) will be waiting for them (in Dane Cook's words) like they were at an airport. If they come back, well, reconstruction has to occur. Whichever, I'm wondering if there still is going to be five or six chapters here? Wonderful job. You are such a great writer. One thing, I just looked at the first chapter: "Book One"?

Great chapter sa usual (even more so because there is a bit of hope for peace for poor Severus). I love how you describe Snape - he never looks pathetic or pitiable! Yes, he may die, but what a way to go!
But Harry... Maybe it's silly, I know, he was preparing to die and so on and so for, but why the hell didn't he find time to say "sorry" to Sev?!! Maybe not for what he forced Snape to suffer (he couldn't control it, I understand - well, of course, ordinary people usually apologize even if they accidentally step on smb's foot, but nobody says that Harry Potter is an ordinary man - such petty details are definitely unworthy of his attention), but for what Sev will have to do? Just one word - but no, who cares about what Snape may feel when he forced to kill - again? I have a very unpleasant feeling that Harry, real Harry, even in his rare moment of clarity, (maybe subconsciously, I don't know, maybe because of this slave-bond) seriously regards Snape as his property, which by default has no feelings and have to obey his orders.

(Sorry for possible mistakes, english is not my native language)

Fascinating, ambiguous, brilliant... And the horror starts again. This time: Poor Harry!

woah!! crazy!! I thought that might've happened since pieces of voldemort are inside of Harry. so when Sev called Harry Tom it confirmed some of my suspisions. when the pieces or ashes of voldemort are gone would harry remember what he did to Sev? or would he forget cuz it was Voldemort that was doing it? hhhmmm......making me think wanting to read more.
