Bloody hell, mystery author! That was wicked! I love the fact that Severus felt he had to justify his investigation of Harry & Aaron's association. I'm also delighted by Harry's warmhearted compassion, your description of spell-crafting, & the fact that Severus wanted to show himself in the best light possible during his first time making love with Harry. And Aaron's surprise reveal made the ending even sweeter. (˘ε˘)
