Another excellent chapter, I would say well worth the wait, but I am more impatient than that. I have a theory that you actually have many chapters written and just torment us by waiting until we are in despair believing you have abandoned the story and then you post a chapter. To test this I would like to state here and now that if you do not post another chapter by March 22, you will have abandoned the story.....
Seriously I am grateful for the chapter, enjoyed how it flowed and especially how even Fred does not give Snape the benefit of doubt but just assumes he has hurt Lupin. Poor Snape.

You're back! :)
I picked a good time to absentmindedly scroll through the chapter list - I think I have just enough time before boarding my flight to read the latest installment. I'm glad you're still writing! I'd hate to think you'd given up on Severus & Remus when you have such a good story growing here.

This is long overdue, but time seems to have gotten away from me this past week. First of all, wow, Teddy's a smart kid! I wish all the kids I taught were as eager, focused, and quick to catch on as he is!
I like the turn this chapter took. I figured Teddy had to make a mistake sooner or later, and it makes perfect sense for him to have reacted the way he did. And poor Remus...it'll be easier for him when he can move around on his own, but I wish he could trust Severus a little more. That fall sounded painful! It didn't even cross his mind that Snape might be running to comfort the child (which he did do - and very well, too!).
I'm sure Severus will understand - after all, Lupin's son is everything to him - but I also know how much he was hoping Lupin could extend a little bit of trust towards him. He'll be so disappointed. And his special surprise was spoiled, too! Man, when Remus finds out the cane was really a present for him all along...and that of course Teddy's just fine....well, maybe he'll try to make it up to Snape somehow, and voluntarily do something that shows some faith in him. I guess we'll see!
I liked seeing the more vulnerable side of Severus, too. Can't wait for more updates!

I cannot begin to tell you how much I am enjoying this story. I could hardly convince myself to sleep last night because I didnt want to stop reading.
So much to say.... Love the Snupin bits... very sexy... Adore Snape anyway and he is so caring and diligent here as well as so introspective.... trying so hard to be a better man.... and the interaction with Teddy is delightful... Teddy is such a darling.. and so strong and brave and resillent.... want to smack Harry upside the head.... want to kiss Fred upside his head.... Fred is my new favorite house elf... and dear Lord I love house elves... you know the game... If you could have one magical thing from the Pott0er world what would it be.... Broom.. invisability cloak... wand of power... I want a house elf.. Im disabled you see and oh it would be lovely....
The whole discourse on forgiveness and power was particularly interesting to me. My husband passed three years ago.. but back about twenty years ago... he went thru a bad period and was having considerable difficulty controling his emotions and his reactions to them... to the point that he was bordering on abusive... so one fine day I called a halt to things... told him he had to go because I refused to live in fear or to kow down to him or anyone... When he realized what his 0actions had done and what he was losing.. he was sincerely contrite... he appologized from his heart and begged me to forgive him.. forgiving him was one of the hardest things I ever did... but I purposed to do it.... the unexpected outcome of that was that the power in the relationship changed and from the moment of forgiveness to the day he died.. I had th0e power in our marriage... and he was much happier for it..... Please dont misunderstand me.. my husband was a very old fashioned kind of man and would never never admit this.. not even to himself.. but I realized that at heart he was a submissive personality... he had struggled all his life to be dominant believing that this was how a real man behaved... im not talking about sexually or game playing or anything like th0at... I mean tru deep personality wise.... He spent his life as a square peg trying to fit into a round hole... When I finally took the lead in our marriage.. things began to even out in all aspects of his life... even to his relationship with his parents... he was allowed to be him... he was never weak or effeminent... or any less the Man of our home.. he just didnt have to carry the weight of being solely responsible for thngs the way he had thought he had to be. I think this happens alot to folks.. that they are trying to take on a role they are unsuited for and incapable of fulfilling.. How is this relevent to your story tou ask... well just look at poor Remus.. ignoring the device of the slave bonds... I can see Remmy thinking he needs to be dominant in his life.. should be different than he is.... afterall he is male and a werewolf... but have you ever seen a more natural sbmissive personality... trying to be one of the guys at school.. trying to stand alone in life... trying to take an agressive role in the war... marriage to Tonks... sheesh... then in this story at lest having sole responsibility for Teddy and needing to be strong against McNair... fearing to yield to Severus but yearning to... and so joyful when he does.. and Sev understanding that true dominance and strength is in the promotion of the other.... its just beautifully written... thank you for sharing

Beautiful chapter. I love the Snape background. Also the interaction of Snape with the boy. I think that maybe Lupin need to a moment of regret. Thanks for shering this great tale. Please continue.

Terrific chapter! Poor little Teddy...bet Remus will be surprised at how gentle Severus was with him. And Severus will be surprised at how far Remus got by himself. Using the special cane, Remus spoiled Sev's surprise though. Maybe Remus or Teddy will wiggle the story of Severus as a small boy with his cruel father, Tobias, and that window seat oout of him.
