I stepped into this fic, walked around the ruination and watched my feet to avoid the debris; I sat alongside Severus and felt when he trembled with emotion and had to hold back from reaching a hand to his bare skin; I leant in when they whispered and felt the hairs on my neck lift with their breath; I spent time in this fic, sensed it as much a reality as my own sitting room. Thank you for opening the door for me.
