Dear Albus - An Epistolary Novel

“You should be grateful, Severus, for your ability to love.”Snape snorted. “You don’t know what it’s like!”“What, precisely?”“To love where it can bring you only hurt, to have your heart carved out each time you see them, to be forever alone and forever reminded of what you cannot have, what you lost without ever having it.” Snape banged the goblet on the table. “No, worst of all, to keep telling yourself what a miserable fool you are for not letting go, for never being able to stop.”“Ah.” Dumbledore tented his long fingers in front of him. “Pardon me, Severus, but I know quite well what that is like.”

Chapters 1-5 are available as a podfic on YouTube (link above). I'd be delighted if you go check it out and tell me what you think. <3Please note that this piece is entirely based on what little we know of their relationship from book seven of the original series. I did not really enjoy the Fantastic Beast trilogy and do not take it into account.This story is a work in progress and not my main project, so I am unsure if and when I am going to finish it.Cheers, Lena
