What a wonderful treat. Not an adventure fic but I couldn't unclench my fist until the very end. It's beautifully crafted, you thought a lot about the whys and reasons, looking behind many episodes of their stories. You made me weep more than once and the patronus scene was brilliant. It was a joy to see Harry's love healing a broken Severus and making him flourish. The epilogue is a masterpiece in its own right, drawing tears without being sentimental. Thanks so much, I'm in awe <3
