I love the "you-I" style, it works really well.
I was intrigued to see that you're writing a Snape / healer story, as I'm writing one, too, albeit a very different one.
I saw the message on your profile page and hope you're ok. And I do hope that you will continue with this sometime, as I can't wait to read more about Gwen and Severus.

This is awsome! Are you going to continue with this? Please do!

Ah! I quite love this story!! And Comfort as well, possibly the best Snape/OC I've ever read! Looking forward to the next part! You're excellent :D

Extremely wonderful.

oh my goodness, this is amazing!! are you still working on this story or have you given it up? Please let me know!

I started this series to get some sense of direction for Solace. I think I may like this series better, and I really like Solace.

I like this story. and I sicerley hope Snape ends with our little OC here. She's a great charater, I love her personality. And she would be good for Snape, I think. Anyway, please update soon, I'll be looking foward to it.

Well, since McGonagall shares some responsibility with Flitwick for trying to murder Snape, I'm glad that she feels it, and that Harry wants to keep Snape out of Azkaban. For too long it was blame-everything-on-Snape, and I don't absolve Dumbledore from it either; he played good cop-bad cop for years. But Snape doesn't really believe in anyone else yet; in fact, deep inside he probably wonders why everyone is trying to keep him alive if not for Something Worse. Given that he's never received real kindness before without someone wanting something for it (_see_ Narcissa, Unbreakable Oath), save perhaps from Pomfrey and Gwen, one can understand his doubts. He's trying really hard to drive people away so he can die. Given what the Ministry wants, one can hardly blame him; it might be a good idea for thinking of someplace Snape can be hidden while he recovers.

Love it! Your OFC came to life in Comfort as a believable and likable character and has been seamlessly brought forward in time here.

The interactions between Snape, Gwen, Harry and Minerva, the background of the DE trials and Snape's precarious situation, and his medical condition and progress are all very well done.

Nice, vivid descriptions, although I never entirely believe the fanon idea of Snape crying "I don't want your pity" - he's a Slytherin, after all, which means pragmatic.

Couple of typoes:

a habit with he and I - if you want Gwen's thoughts to be grammatically correct, it should be "with him and me".

remain at the school as your attending. - attending what? There's obviously a word gone missing, probably "healer"

your back to Minerva and I - again, if you want Gwen's thoughts to be grammatically correct, it should be "to Minerva and me".

The trick is to cut out the other person and look at the sentence one person at a time. You would say "a habit with him", not "a habit with he"; "a habit with me", not "a habit with I"; therefore "a habit with him and me", not "a habit with he adn I". Similarly you say "to me", not "to I"; therefore, "to Minerva and me", not "to Minerva and I".

Very nice, and quite feasible. As somebody else pointed out, he probably wouldn't have much venom in his system, because the blood-flow would have washed it out.

We aren't specifically told it, but I'm sure in canon Harry would have told somebody where Snape was, during the hours when we know he was talking to various people around the hall. That sequence ends with his telling Ron and Hermione what he saw in Snape's Pensieve, so Snape was on his mind.

Btw, it should be "Ma'am" throughout, not "Ma'me", because Poppy (and the other healers) is "Madam", not "Madame".

How like the Malfoys--at least Draco wanted to help. I must despise Narcissa Malfoy--she helped put Snape into hell through her charming little Unbreakable Vow, and all she can do is to get in the way. Draco also should have stuck around to help, but of course not. Halfbloods like Snape are only good enough to be servants to the purebloods, apparently.

I'm glad Harry cares enough to fetch Snape back in your version of events, and Gwendolyn enough to try to save him.

I'm quite caught up in this. I love the way Severus struggles to say what Lily was to him. Nothing, really, but at the same time, everything.

I also like the way Gwen so rarely expresses her emotions and yet her longings are so very clear in what she does say and do.

It looks like Gwendolyn will make him recover whether he wants to or not, I'm glad. I hope the old flames are fanned and this develops into a romance between them. It's obvious that she still has a soft spot for him.

I pleased that Minerva is contrite and repentant for the way she treated him, and I hope Harry can get all the charges against him dismissed very soon.

When I started reading this something seemed familiar about it and I finally figured it out when I realized who Healer Braithwaite was. I didn't egister that it was the sequel to 'Comfort when I read the summary. Now I'm pleased to see it because after I read 'Comfort' I wondered what happened to Gwendolyn and if anything ever came of their attraction after she left school. Now I'll get to find out.

I agree with duj, this was missing in canon. You would think that if Harry developed such respect and regard for him after he saw those memories he would have done something about checking to see if was actually dead and recovering the body.

I've felt since I read 'The Prince's Story' the day DH was published that a spy as experienced as he was would never have gone without an antidote to Nagini's venom on his person at all times and, just as logically, that he would have already been immunizing himself with small doses of it for quite a while before that night.
