Has it really been almost 5 years?! This was a beautiful tribute!

You have said it all. Thank you.

Uuuuum granger is ugly as fuck

Absolutely beautiful work. Made me misty-eyed and brought back feelings of loss in my life, as well as the feeling of sadness upon hearing of dear Alan Rickman’s passing. Thank you.

It's 7:30 am and I'm tearing up. This was really beautiful. A perfect tribute to Alan Rickman. *sigh*

Such a beautiful, fitting tribute. I must agree with those who said, excuse me while I bawl my eyes out now, or the like. I still have tears falling.

The flower was an amazing analogy.

Uses up a box of tissues...

Oh, so sad!

But frankly, I don't think Hogwarts would be heaven for Snape.

((sobs quietly))

thank you, no others words

As I sit here rocking my son to sleep, my eyes are filled with tears. Mr. Rickman was, and remains, my favorite actor, and Severus Snape will always be one of the best literary characters that I've had the fortune of crossing paths with. What a touching tribute you've created. I'm a year overdue in reading it I'm afraid, but the saddness I feel for a world without him is as fresh as ever.

T_T this was so sad and so beautiful.. I hate that he's gone...

Thank you for this lovely story. I cried heartily as I read it. In a way, I'm still coping with the death of both Severous and Alan, given that I've just recently started to truly appreciate them. I love the flower part, it's so beautiful. Thank you again!

Excuse me while I bawl my eyes out. Such a beautiful, wonderful story and a lovely tribute to such an amazing man.

I just lost my absolute shit crying. Holy hell. I am losing it. How fucking beautiful these words are.

I'm crying. Ugghhh this was beautiful!
