That was gorgeous. Great h/c (loved it when Severus healed him in his 'sleep'), wonderful interludes though the night, great conversations, great summer program. I loved every new scene. Getting to see such a reinvented Severus was almost embarrassing and painful, since he was so openly joyful and different from who he used to be. I loved watching both men as they repeatedly said 'yes' to opportunity, and felt Harry's indecision and pain (and guilt!) as he kept putting off doing the right thing. A wholly lovely fic. Black stallions, FTW! I kept seeing Harry flying through the air on Buckbeak during Sev's solo ride. Pure joy.
