I printed this story and several other stories out to read while I was travelling, but I didn't get back to everyone (including you) with comments after I read them. My apologies for being so lame! Thank heavens that alisanne posted her recs and jogged my memory.
This is such a lovely, romantic story, even though the romance is totally nil as far as the characters themselves are concerned. Well, except for Harry, who remembers anniversaries. *g* It's so cleanly written - its pacing is perfect - and by keeping the characters to just Snape and Harry, the progression of their friendship/relationship flows beautifully. I smiled with quiet happiness the entire time I was reading. Thank you!
