	OMG yay! So happy. I get fic and art! And it's a dark and stormy night, and they're out in WALES!!! (my dad's side of the family is mostly welsh) I love the fact that you chose "Dark and Stormy Night" for the prompt. I have a real soft spot for that 'cause of the Harry Nilsson song and Snoopy's "novel." Thank you so much!! I really needed a "pick-me-up" today. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	And I get to be the first to comment! Hooray, I win!!! :D I'll let Summer know, too. She's in the throes of grad school, and isn't online a whole lot. :P (Reply to this) (Parent)

I'm not sure if I've misread something here, so apologies if I have, but - er - Cornwall is not in Wales! The only link that comes to mind is that the Duchy of Cornwall funds the public, private and charitable activities of the Prince of Wales (See http://www.duchyofcornwall.org/abouttheduchy.htm if you're interested!), and Camilla, Prince Charles' wife, has the title The Duchess of Cornwall.
This map http://www.picturesofengland.com/mapofengland/counties-map.html shows you the locations of Cornwall (bottom left hand corner) and Wales (look at the grey area above that).
Sorry if this is too much information or if I have got the wrong end of the stick, littleblackbow. I'm sure it doesn't affect your pleasure in the story, but as I live in the UK, this comment jumped out at me!
All the best,
Philo

	I really like Harry here-truly a grown man. They just seem to fall in together-it's too true that they would understand each other better than anyone else. Very nice work. Love the look on Severus's face in the art! And Harry's boots. ♥ (Reply to this)

	How lovely! :D And the art is awesome. :D (Reply to this)

	wonderful! I love the cottage on the sea, and the matter-of-fact Harry and his exploratory kiss. Good move! and the art... Harry with buttons, thats a lovely twist, g In fact both of their boots are to love. (Reply to this)

	Lovely - both the fic and art. (Reply to this)

	ivylady 2008-11-16 10:56 pm UTC (link)
	Sweet. I love how they both seem to fall into a relationship without even trying. The art was an added bonus. (Reply to this)

	Seems like a great start for the characters! (Reply to this)

	winoniel 2008-11-18 08:28 am UTC (link)
	I really, really like art/fic combos. Severus looks so surprised that they are compatible! I also like the growing warmth of the relationship as it develops, and the mature, thoughtful Harry. (Reply to this)

	elvirablue 2008-12-03 07:25 am UTC (link)
	I like calm and thoughtful Harry and his way of testing their compatibility. The art shows Severus’ surprise quite nicely. (Reply to this)

	Very nice, both the fic and the art. (Reply to this)

	Mmmm Cornwall is a lovely setting for a cabin. I loved Land's End when I visited. The reference to 'stoppering death' is great - that was one of the things I absolutely hated about DH. As if Snape would die from a measly snakebite. This was really good, irana. (Reply to this)
