Ahhh! I never commented on this, even though I've read it like five times at least. *sheepish* Bad me! You know how much I adore this though, yes? I was rereading this just now and was blown over by the hotness once more but I think my very favorite part is the end, when James is all vulnerable and Al knows exactly what to do--no more jokes or wisecracks, just holding him for a minute, with Scorpius spooning him as well. I LOVE that moment. It makes the scorching dirty hot porn that came before all the sweeter.
