I have been searching for something like *this.* But my search was too vague, or something, and began and ended with "snarry" that I did not know what I was really looking for.
This is far more beautiful than words. Which is rather nice, considering that that's exactly how I think about snarry. ;)
I have always wanted a story between *Snape* and *Harry.* Something that would be told by the two of them. Something about getting to know each other, becoming friends, but always at their own pace, and especially the intimacy that develops between them. I love this story because it is more about *Snape* and *Harry* than about the intimacy of the snarry (aka sex) that occurs between them.
I love the fact that there is no definitive role for Snape to fill in Harry's life (aka The Top) and there is no corresponding one for Harry in Snape's life (The Bottom). Because, as I was assured, real-life gay couples switch. I am not sure what my reasons for liking it this way are, but I love most of all that whatever the two of them do together, it will be their own choice.
Thank you for writing a *Save*-worthy story about Harry and Snape, and I hope you won't mind too much if I save it for future re-reads.
