Ha. Everyone notices how sweet this is - because, it is! But I will point out ... with emphasis ... that it's also damn sexy! Once these two get between the sheets, they're hot hot hot hot hot. Of course, even then *snerk* Severus works to convince himself that Lupin can't want him, it can't be that they like each other or anything. >>snort<< No wonder Severus has been there for thirty hundred jillion days, trapped in the close-grown forest of his fears.
Thank goodness -- and you, dear author -- for Lupin!
