So heart-meltingly wonderful! I loved everything about this story: the hasty bonding and Harry’s view on marriage (I can’t believe how appealing he made it sound), Severus’ frustration with his situation and the doubts that kept surfacing in his mind, the tender kisses and hot sex, the affectionate gestures (especially the chocolates and the essay notes), and the excitement at the end.
Hermione, Ron, Remus, and even Dumbledore were great. And I loved how a pretty big Kingsley shut Severus up. :) Harry’s relief at Severus’ rage was hilarious too:
"Oh, thank God," he said, wiping a hand across a brow Severus hadn't noticed was sweating. "I was so afraid-- after yesterday, I was just terrified you'd been...damaged somehow. But you're not and that's...great. So great."
*giggles at Severus’ confusion*
Harry’s obvious enjoyment of their relationship and Severus’ cautious hopefulness were utterly endearing, and I loved that Severus got his equality issue resolved.
