This was such an enjoyable read! I loved the slow build-up and how clueless both boys were until nearly the end. When they did finally come around, it was a fantastic pay-off. This line -- It felt like a dream, each breath, each gasp, each moan, were like reverent promises that had taken them forever to speak. -- is lovely. I also appreciated Ron's sensitivity and talking Harry out of a first time he wasn't quite ready for (despite what Harry believed.)
