Oh. My. God. This is the coolest, most magical and fantastic and beautiful and absolutely stunning fic in the whole fest so far. I just love it when you two collaborate. I don't think I can put into words how this fic made me feel. The moment Severus took back his magic gave me goose bumps. Your characterisation is amazing. Your descriptions of magic and curses is unique. Really, I can't say enough how freaking fantastic this was. I'm going to reread this.
