That was sweet without being shmaltzy, and I loved it. Poor Severus, hurting himself first before others do, even in death. Yay! for Remus embracing the animal side of his nature and accepting it and his own guilt over his death. Yay! for Severus accepting his sexual side and needs after so long and letting go of his own guilt. Yay! for the two of them choosing each other. Beautifully told story I'll be rec'ing. :)
