That one was mine. Yeah, that one right there.

hp_holidaygen has posted the Big Reveal, so I can now admit to being the author of "Things Left Unsaid" for igrockspock. My giftee was pleased (yay!) and I got many thoughtful, lovely comments, so it was win-win-win all around :) Actually, I thought every single piece for this fest was a win -- so many creative, thought-provoking, well-written, wonderful stories. Congratulations to all the authors!!

Title: Things Left Unsaid (LJ) (AO3)
A gift for: igrockspock
Rating: G
Length: ~6,000 words
Character(s): Snape, Hogwarts, assorted staff, students, Death Eaters (7th year)
Warnings: brief use of Crucio; angst
Author's Note 1: Thanks to igrockspock for so many great prompts! I actually wrote half of three of them before settling on this one (Anything about Snape's tenure as headmaster, especially how he goes about protecting students without revealing his true loyalties), so the others may turn up somewhere eventually. I hope it pleases.
Author's Note 2: Professor Trelawney's reading of the Moon card is taken from the American Tarot Association, http://www.ata-tarot.com/resource/cards/maj18.html. Professor Flitwick's words about small things are a quote from Mother Teresa.

As you know, I loved this so much. It is such a beautiful love poem to this tortured, exhausted soul during his last year of the war.

It moved me so much. You should be sooooo proud of this fic - I know I would be if I had written it.

Thank you for sharing. I gem, truly. A gem.
