Okay, second I'm so sorry for not commenting before, but I was in no-slashland (parents' home) for the holiday and only just read it when I walked in.
Third, I was starving from the trip, turned on the computer and then opened your story. I figured I'd read and eat my pizza at the same time. Pizza is sitting cold on the dining room table. Your story was so good I couldn't be dragged away even for food. Now I have cold pizza.
*sighs*
Now to begin. The beginning of the story is so freaking amazingly hot. Actually, the beginning is funny, with foottapping!Snape. Seriously, I love it when Snape is cute/irritable. It's my favorite Snape emotion.
But yes, hot! Loved every single sex scene in this story, just perfect.
And your Harry here was still young, but perfectly written. I can't stand young, stupid Harry and yours was perfectly mature, but still emotionally stunted enough to project a wonderful angst storyline.
And your Severus was just wonderful. Honestly, when he was sitting there on Harry's bed for the first time...
*sigh*
I love a soft Snape, but only if it peaks through his surly demeanor and you did that beautifully.
This was everything I loved in a fic. Thank you so much, mystery author. This was everything I could have hoped for.
