Oh, beautiful. Every line so IC. And I was so afraid that Severus was really dead, I practically cheer aloud when I found out he wasn't! Ah, the two of them are so beautiful together, I love the part that sees Severus heal Minerva's pain,and then when he folds her in his arms (after she hexes him! Hee! 'You damn cat,that hurt!' - one of my favourite lines)... Just perfect.
