Oh, bb! *exhales* I saved this for a treat once I was done with my zillion and one projects I had due last this month, and thank goodness I did! This was FABULOUS! Severus' inner thoughts were great, I loved his reaction to finding Harry at his door and his reaction to Ron and Hermione Apparating into his house (OMG how rude!) was perfect. And Harry! *cuddles him* I felt so bad for him, although I love how, even in when dying, he found his way to the one man who could save him. OMG, you and your clever misdirects, too! I just knew it was Umbridge (or her wacky niece) but when it turned out to not to be them I literally gaped at the screen. Clever girl! The forget-me-nots was SO CREATIVE. I loved that. As did Severus, lol, despite what he said. And then having him show up for his ceremony against all odds...*sniffs* I admit it, I teared up. Just all around gorgeous story, bb. You did GOOD!
AND VZ! Loved, LOVED, loved how you illustrated the scenes you chose. Having Harry curled up so close to Severus was perfect and that QUILT! I stared at that for ages. It plays such an important role in the story and you brought it to life with your illustration. It looked really authentic. And then the scene of them at the ceremony was quintessential you. Their rapt expressions and the way they lean together... *happy sigh* Just beautiful.
