Oh my. I too can't count the ways. This is one of the best bonds I've seen-not the when so much as the effects. That Harry has the magic but can't stay awake and Snape has none but can't sleep. The way Harry has that ache in his heart, the tugging, pulling him to Snape. Pendragon (and the story of his adoption LOL), Luna and her uncle Xanthus-what a character. A most excellent and satisfying ending. But seriously, it's just a little thing but it went straight through me . . .
"Look... at... me..." Snape had whispered, and Harry had not only looked, he'd seen.
My personal canon in one line. Loved this story. Fantastic fic.
