Much like luvscharlie, I'm not usually into H/D. But, I recognized you from lupin_snape, so simply had to check this out. And...wow. Yes, that was hot, but it was tinged with so much pain... I LOVE IT. I mean, hell, that's why I love snupin--the bittersweetness of it all. If this is what H/D is usually like, then I might just be willing to be converted... o_o
I mean...I'm not sure how to go about articulating this... It left me hurting and I wanted more. Which...sounds weird...but...um... For such a short fic, there was so much conflict and tension and we (or at least I) could feel the emotions radiating so vividly from the characters.
