Author's Notes: tetleythesecond, I hope you love this. It's been a true labour of love. I'm so grateful to have been given the opportunity to work with these characters. I hope it's got enough realism - and theoretical magic - for you. To my beta T, thank you ever so for whipping this into shape at the last possible moment. You're a lifesaver. All remaining mistakes are mine. And finally, bethbethbeth, I thank you immensely for hosting this fest, for promoting unpopular characters, and for putting up with my terribly slow writing and revising process. You're a gentlewoman and a scholar.

	I do so love this pairing, and I fine job you've done with it! I found myself clenching my fists with the escalating tension, both war-related and sexual. And the sense of relief at the end of the war made me almost giddy with them! And Aberforth! God love him! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you so much for your review! I'm so glad that the piece was so effective/affecting, and that Aberforth came across as a grand old goat in his own right. (Reply to this) (Parent)
