Aaargh! BDSM isn't my thing, but your writing certainly is!Beautifully constructed and written, with so much understanding and heart. I love your take on the magic as well - Dumbledore's tomb scene and Severus snooping at Grimmauld especially. And the art - I love that you've done the first picture black nighttime, the second, grey and smoky, and the third, blinding white snow - very appropriate for the relevant moods in the story.
