I was trolling through my bookmarks to reread an old fav when I thought "I'll go back and reread Fae's fic."
So I did, and I loved it just as much. Then I scrolled down to see what my comment was (and to not say the same things when I comment again) when I realized I had never commented!
*slaps self*
And I remember looking at this story and talking about it with you too! What the hell is wrong with me! *slaps self again*
I loved this! Your Severus was perfect. His vulnerability was so subtle and well-hidden, which is exactly how I see Severus. And your Harry was brave and brash, but he was still an adult. I could actually understand what Severus saw in him.
And the slow moving way their friendship (squee!) turned to love.
I just love friendship stories for them that turn into something more. This was just excellent, darling. Worth a reread and again.
