Re: This is beautiful....
Thank you very much for reading this fic and for sharing your thoughts.
I rarely write fic with established relationships because I like to build a relationship, but in this fic, the idea of Harry and Severus having a past relationship--one that was deep and meaningful to everyone who witnessed their love--appealed to me in a way that I hadn't anticipated. I felt free writing them in this fic and it has caused me to think about writing other established relationship fics.
