Thank you so much for such an amazing read. I can tell the immense amount of talent and hard work put into such an amazing fic and I have to say this has been one of the best I have read in years and I have been in the fandom since 2004. This story left me physically aching and I was floored by how quickly you pulled me in and made me feel for the characters, the ache was just that palpable.
You had me hooked with just your summary. Something about the way you write and the skill with which you present a story. I also had an inkling towards the end that there was much more intention in this story and that given sufficient time, there might've been a few more K's in your word count ;) and the ending would have left no questions to old Severus's intentions. I really do not mean any offense while saying that and if I am wrong, then I only mean that I would love love love to read an extended version of this story if you should ever come back to it.
*content sigh* Now I am going to sit back for a little bit and relax, just like I would do after finishing a fantastic novel.
