This is one of the most beautiful though bittersweet snarries I have ever read. I loved your maturing Harry. And I loved the way his and Severus's relationship was slowly progressing, though "seeing" Severus suffer each time Harry was not able to reciprocate his feelings, not able to say he loved him was truly heartbreaking.
And the ending... I've read "Jane Eyre", it's actually one of my favourite books. And so I was sure you'll leave Severus blind. But I'm happy you did not. God, I'm so happy! I'm still crying *sniffs* And although these are happy tears, my heart is aching that our boys had to suffer so much before they could finally be together - this time Harry knowing his heart.
The last scene (the last several lines) was so touching. And Severus finally did smile. Beautiful. Simply beautiful. Just perfect!
