It was utterly amazing. First I said, ooh goody, an new fic by femmequixotic, and immediately I began reading it. That was last night, then when I got up this morning read 2/3 of it before work, which was too bad because I couldn't stop thinking about it at work! It is just breathtaking, not a wasted word, the characters all ring true (and not flat!). I love how you pulled them out of canon, complete as jkr could make them, and then you added so much more. They were all so good. And the plot, I loved having a plot! The relationship with Harry and Severus was just so much icing on the cake, still integral to the plot, don't get me wrong! I was on the edge of my seat to see how it would turn out, such suspense for me! Anyway, I want to ramble on, but just wanted to let you know I loved it!
