Thank you, thank you, thank you. *squishes* I absolutely LOVE this story. I adore confused Severus. I felt so sad for him when he'd lost his memory and had no idea who he was, I love the way that he gradually rebuilt his life, so stoically. Somehow that is very Severus and I loved Harry! Harry the whirlwind! For me you drew out the very best of Harry's character, I really liked the way that he didn't give up, that he befriended Severus, played down his heroicism and his bravery (flying to Severus' side in a madcap way) and I loved him as a dad, and the way that Severus liked the children too!!
Loved the way that the story remained true to canon and yet went off in it's own direction and I loved the oral sex scene, speechless Severus for the win!!! Am so impressed that this was a pitch hit, and Severus was perfectly snarky in a worn down by life sort of way, very believable, very well drawn.
What more can I say? This story was absolutely perfect and I love it to bits! I'm now off to rec it like mad and to friend you to see what else you've written.
