oh what a wonderful story! severus and harry are depicted with such detail... and the years passing by and arr poor severus waiting for his final death and harry making mistakes.. it's all so wondefully real. their romance takes time and finds only its happy end in death as portraits. even the infidelity bit, while sad and heart- breaking considering severus feelings, was bearable and lovely written. and as you can see I write only gibberish, so: thank you for a great story!
