I loved this chapter, you did a brilliant job! Thank you for writing about menstruation and the awful side effects that it causes, I wish our society wasn't so squeamish about it. Periods are a natural occurrence and should not be brushed under the rug, I'm so happy you added in this bit. :)

Regrettably I’m have reached the end of this chapter, and there is not another one to satiate my curiosity for what happens next. This fic is so different than your other one. And while they depict two different sides to Snapes situation. Given the precarious situation he is in in canon, it’s really cool how delicately you adjust the narrative around him to suit each of your stories. With Alice he cannot trust anyone with the knowledge that he is with the Order (even if the Order doesn’t know it), but he still tries to protect her as best he can. Because he’s on her side. With Róisín, her best protection is her ignorance. The more she knows, the more she fears, and the more she reacts. In both fics he puts himself directly into the line of fire in different ways. Both with subtle resistance but in this story Life and Death is put up front. There’s no reason to keep Alice alive, except, of course, she’s resistance. And that’s what makes it so addicting. Snape can’t put right say “you can’t have her” without bringing attention to the situation. And your subtlety with language and expressions are really well practiced and fit perfectly with the characters you created and write.

Glad to see this story updated! It's interesting and refreshing that you detailed a character getting their period - most authors (myself included) skirt around that even when it's perhaps something which could be relevant to the story. Like if they're captive or say, flung back in time or something, it would just be interesting to see how they dealt with that!
Also I noticed that you referred to Alice as Róisín on this chapter - I'm sure it's easy to muddle your OC's up! Looking forward to seeing the forthcoming chapters for both of your works.

Okay I came here straight from reading The Stirring and I can't tell which story I love more. I really hope you continue them both. I love seeing Snape as a captor and protector all in one.

Another update! We are lucky readers, aren't we? Thank you so much for this. I'm still finding this a little rough - but I really, really want you to take that as praise. You are not being cavalier with the captivity trope, and that makes all the difference. Alice continues to develop and enthrall as a character, and Snape continues to mystify. The tension (sexual and otherwise) is almost too much to bear, but I commend you for not rushing it. And as for the general psychology, excellent work. I'm nearly ready to fall in love with Snape for providing tea without r*pe - which, of course, is the whole point of the trope at its stockholm-iest. Might I commend you on the description, too? It's a rare treat to be so transported. Thank you. Can't wait for more!

I love this story so far, Alice is a great character and I love that you made her a former Hufflepuff! I hope you update again soon, if you ever need or want help feel free to message or email me! :)

You must continue. Don't even think about giving that up.
