omg, what a brilliant beautiful wonderful read! one of those stories where you can't stop once you've started. it's written so intense and incredible, the way both descend into madness and depression and their love for each other, harry's optimism and their failing to find a solution...!! what I also loved is that the punishment of the castle is reasonable, for severus did indeed abandon the castle even if it was for the greater good. also, nice of you to give poor binns background and a star role.
