This? This is absolutely beautiful. I loved the soft and gentle tone throughout with the bouts of humor. I was also particularly impressed with your transitions and how you ended scenes...I'm thinking in particular where Severus asks if his hands are so fascinating and Harry says yes...you just really get that final punch so practically each section could stand as a story on its own. I loved Severus as a sweet, gentle cat that enjoyed sleeping on Harry's pillow and how their relationship developed once Severus returned to his human form. And as much as it broke my heart, I love that you portrayed Harry as being broken from the war. It's so easy to do "war is over, now let's do the love thang!", but he went through so much at a young age that there is no way he could emerge totally unscathed. This portrayal of him was a very real one, heartwrenching without being emo angsty, and it made me ache in the most wonderful of ways. So happy our boys were able to find each other. Beautiful work. ♥
