Some positively beautiful lines in this fic. Seriously... such clear images.
This: He got to his feet slowly, looking somehow dignified as he wept. Severus hadn't seen a man, weeping, seem so strong. Gods, the image that gives... gorgeous.
He was entirely too like his mother. Severus rose, swept out of the room, managing not to run. That gives such a clear picture of why Severus had a hard time being around him as a boy, even more so that the earlier mentions.
"Were you really so angry about me?"
Severus filled both their glasses again.
"For him to have asked that of an adult would have been bad enough." Wow. An entire section of the last book ran through my mind, that scene with Snape and Dumbledore. *has chills*
His last thought before sleeping again was that it was rather comfortable. Dear gods, that's... more beautiful than anything has a right to be, that entire passage.
I must say this... that scene with Harry continuously stoking, calming, and reassuring Severus through touch was masterful. And Harry's gentleness after... *happy sigh* The sex was...I don't think I can quite describe it properly...
I'm going to stop there, but I think it's clear I really, really, really enjoyed this, and I'm looking forward to discovering who you are.
