YAAAAAY! I am so, so, so glad that you enjoyed it! The prompt caught my eye right away and was inspired to write it.
I'm relieved and happy that you felt the moral ambiguity worked well here. I was delighted that you had mentioned that in your prompt and agreed right away, so I did my best to be sure that came through. The "stolen moments" prompt was what reminded me of the painting and I was thrilled to have an opportunity to put those feelings into the story.
I absolutely had a wonderful time remembering all these great things about Filius and not only how intelligent he is, but that he is also quick to sudden emotion (not unlike Hermione).
I'm glad the sex scene worked in that sort of "did that really happen" kind of way! That's entirely what I was going for and hoped it stretched out the UST a bit more as opposed to it being resolved.
Thank you so much for your wonderful, thoughtful comments! I admit it's certainly a story that I could see myself coming back to again in the future, so who knows? Thanks again and hope you had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you! <3
