Oh wow, that was fabulous! The pairing seems random until you think about it -- and you made it so plausible, the Auror and the Death Eater. :) I love the idea that he worked her case, and such palpitating, entwined closeness between what can make him sick and what can make him come -- gosh, that's a beautiful, fantastic way to put it. I also adored the details about Bella's life that he's accrued. Great job!
