This is an absolutely marvellous story, with a stuff-of-dreams independant-powerful!Harry and deep-down-gentle!Severus, and a spot on, in my opinion, characterisation of Ron and Hermiony, and the much appreciated (by me, at least) belevable streak of Ginny bashing. She deserves it.
Overall, a beautiful classic Snarry, a wonderful turn on the 'Harry Potter and What the Last Books Should Have Been Like', something along these lines.
Although, I felt the pacing uneven, that with the slow, deliberate and detailed canon-like first half, after which the narration started gaining speed exponentially, and a somewhat unexpectedly sudden finale.
Dear mystery Author, I must express the great delight and enjoyment I experienced reading this.
