As I said, absolutely beautiful. It was lovely from the start, but when you began detailing the good things rather than the bad, it became absolutely poetic. I love the rhythm and the entire feel of this piece, and the way you describe Severus- especially his eyes, I love the part about his eyes- is absolutely breathtaking. I can live and feel and breathe your Severus, and he's stunning. And I hate that everything that he is has to be a dream. That's terrible for him. *sighs sadly* This was absolutely wonderful and a joy to read. Thank you for writing it. : )
