Wonderful story! This makes so much sense and fits the known canon facts so well. Very, very well written. Bravo!
You know, I have considered many reasons for Severus to turn his back on Voldemort, but this one simply never occurred to me. Yet, it's quite plausible. What a lovely and bittersweet little piece. Thank you for sharing it.
