Severus Snape as he might have been had he not lived through hell. Harry as he might have been, becoming a man , a wizard, a sexual being under Severus's care. Like the land it inhabits, the story is magnificent, lyrical and quietly peaceful. I love your matter of fact approach to their growing attraction, to the permanence of their union, to their understated happiness. Wild plum and mustang mane hair. Bodies molded against each other on Sal's back. Weeks sleeping close but apart, but already unavoidably together. A story that leaves me smiling and content, and loving Snarry.
