it was amazing to have the memory of how it had been and the ability through the miraculous of this potion to live it again. She had forgotten how it felt to be this hungry. I just love clever, inventive magical details like this. . .perfectly a part of the world and expertly a part of the characterization. You do such a good job with the fact that these are older people in a long-term relationship; time and memory create such believable layers. You show exactly how things progress and change, from the intensity and "hunger" and newness of the beginning to the quieter, deeper, more complex experience of years.
The scene is beautifully hot, all the more so for being so firmly rooted in character.
The Hoggywarty song is an hilariously appropriate touch, and I heartily approve of Minerva's future plans at the end.
THANK YOU, dear TJ, for this wonderful gift. You're such a dab hand with character, and I loved every word.
