I've read your comment several times and have been so wowed by it I haven't been able to reply. I also read your lovely rec and that just made matters worse. So now I am finally replying because above all else I want you to thank you for such a comprehensive and lovely comments.
I really like James in the fic too! Initially I had it planned to have half the story from Teddy's perspective and the other half from James's. But scrubbed that idea because I really liked the view of James through Teddy's eyes, even though Teddy is possibly being a little unfair a time or two.
Oh the teacher/student Snarries! Yes! I have read so many that I had to do my best to block them from my mind regarding a couple different aspects of this fic. But Teddy is certainly not Snape and James is a lot more ballsy than Harry so in the end it ended up working out alright.
And his and James's sex romps all over school are just too much fun. LOL! I knew from the start it would Teddy's first and only year teaching at Hogwarts so they had to go all out while they could.
You liked the end....hurray! I am glad you enjoyed that it was a tough journey for Teddy but he was finally able to recognize what he needed all along. Your compliments of James make me so happy!
