Deirdre_Aithne—Great opening scene with Arthur finding Severus at Number Twelve. It wasn't until the scene that Harry was trying to touch the camellias that I even remembered the Beauty and the Beast theme, but I consider that a good thing as you've clearly made this your own. The gift of the picture made me tear up, honestly, as well as when Harry left and Severus was looking at his face for the first time in so long. Of course, Harry going off to see what was the matter with Severus and staying was a perfect ending. Nicely done.
Coil Kitten—That image of Severus in front of the mirror is so perfect, so haunting. His fingers there, touching the frame makes me think I can feel his pain. The flower is beautiful and I love the last of the two of them dozing together, showing just how comfortable they've become. Great job.
