OMG, this is just so long, luscious, and beautifully characterized and plotty that it hits every one of my Snarry buttons full-on. Everything that I adore in your individual and collaborative works is represented in this marvelous piece--believably sinister Malfoys who are nonetheless logical rather than insanely EVOL caricatures; a lovely developing relationship between Harry and Severus; and a devoted friendship between Harry and his friends--just made of WIN! Yum and thank you so very much!
