Oh, Roo, this is wonderful. I love a good adaptation any day, but you've taken what's - to me - become a really irritating movie and turned it into something fresh and beautiful. I love all the various ways you find for Severus to pass his many days; they're lovely and heartbreaking and so meaningful. And the kisses with Harry - perfection. I think it wouldn't take much for him to give in to the pleasure - it's been such a horrible, hard year for both, and there's just always so much there. This is really terrific. :)
