I enjoyed this. Truth to tell, because you write some Wolfwood/Vash, I didn't realize this was about Severus Snape and someone else until later. It could have been about any two lovers, in fact, and I related to the universality of the story. I was going to praise you for your insight, but found a little prompt, next to the metarate button, that noted that a previous viewer had done the same. But it is the truth, that you do show a lot of insight into the human condition and the unspoken words that create gaps between lovers.What Remains

Ouch. Very painful, but so well-done. This really does capture the essence of a faded romance. I love the parenthetical notes throughout the story--it makes you feel that the speaker is trying so hard to be flowery and articulate (recapture the romance, perhaps?), but when it comes down to it, he recognizes the reality of the situation. The reality isn't nearly so pretty...but it's what's there.What Remains

I'm agreed with Sun and Jex... it's a touching piece of narrative regarding lost love, and it's the kind of thing I'd love to see as a soliloquy in a play or something.What Remains

I saw that someone rated this story boring. I must think that they are very young. You have given a very literate picture of the reality of what a relationship can become - sadly, what most relationships become.
Excellent fic.
