You, are Amazing. I always love your stories, but I believe this one might be my new favorite (or tied for first : ). I absolutely love both the Snape and Harry you've portrayed here -- they are perfect. so very much *them* as I like to imagine them. There were so many moments where I thought god, if only I could write dialogue between them like that! Harry's pain is palpable, but the tension/issues have just the right balance to them -- not overblown, while still having weight. Oh, and I love the idea of Severus reading for audiobooks, and harry, outside the door... *sighs* Really beautiful story, Thank you!
