This was so enjoyable, but what really sang was your wonderful characterizations - Severus as self-isolating as always, except once he's given in to something that seems almost inevitable. I love how he slowly reveals his playful side to Harry, and I really adore Harry's confusion (and eventual acquiescence!) in the face of it. I have a real weakness for healer!Harry, and what you did with him here - the intuitive magic - was lovely and innovative. I'm always so happy to see Minerva make an appearance in Snarry, and protective!Poppy is also such a favorite - you've really hit all my bases. Lovely, lovely work.
Someoldcat - It amazes me that even with a character with whom you're so intimately familiar, you still manage to give him expressions that I don't recall seeing in your other work, and which fit in so beautifully here. You equally capture Harry's confusion and the way he's just a bit out of his depth here really wonderfully - just lovely work.
