I loved this! I especially enjoyed your characterizations of Harry and Severus. One thing I really loved about this fic, was the unique way in which it was constructed. It was written almost like a "Simpsons" episode, where we start with something really interesting (Harry turning into Simon, joining the circus), but it doesn't end up being the plot of the story, just a really fascinating way of getting us to the actual plot (Harry and Severus). I mean that as a huge compliment, so I hope I've explained myself well enough that you'll take it that way! Anyway, really amazing writing! :)
