I have always loved your fics. What I really like is how each one creates a different dynamic between Harry and Severus, though they are all complex and twisty (and sometimes twisted!). What I love about this one is how their lives have paralleled each other, needing only to meet for them to start to see what they really need through conversation and interaction with each other. I think that a part of it is that you create plausible, fully-detailed lives, with the circumstances leading up to them gradually revealed until the reader has the full picture. In the meantime, the emotional results also become clear, though the solution is always different and unique.
Lanier~ I adore the saturated color and rich shading of your photos, particularly the night club scene and the two men smoking. There is an emotional honesty that seems to suffuse each line. The deep color contrasting with the stark brilliance of the snow around Dumbledore's tomb is masterfully done.
