Wow. What a heart-melting story - and incredibly enjoyable to read again and again. I’ve been completely charmed by your Harry and Severus and the way you depict their relationship. There’s enough respect, a fair amount of equality, much unforced, genuine affection and lots of disarmingly funny banter interspersed with more serious topics. An irresistible combination. Some of my favourite humorous bits:
"Yes, though I believe I object to being compared to a fragile flower." Potter sighed. "Yes, but we modified the charm to make it notify me if a fragile snarky bastard was feeling bad, instead."
Potter stood up. "What, then, the tango?" Severus shook his head. "I doubt I could manage anything more complicated than the waltz. And neither could you." "I was more thinking you've been all dramatic and would want that whole rose in your teeth thing."
"I can't hex you, you imbecile; I still don't have a wand." Harry raised his eyebrows and glanced down between them. "No? Well, then I guess there goes plausible denial as to what that is."
I don’t know how you came up with the “Severus-language”, but it was very imaginative and amusing, and there wasn’t even a hint of tastelessness anywhere. I loved how the recurring “hedgehoggering” became their own in-joke and how Severus tried to use “big” words but failed. And I loved that his language problems ended with this:
Potter chuckled. "I know. Hermione said the same thing. Also, sorry about the blowing your mind and all."
"Always wanting you to blow me," Severus said. He frowned. That wasn't exactly what he'd meant, but when he opened his mouth to say something further, he also opened his eyes, and the look--and the blush--on Potter's face was …intriguing in its lack of outrage. Plus, he'd probably just foul the situation further.
Plus, the blush was increasing.
I thought these descriptions were very imaginative:
He thought about answering, but before he got to it, someone blindfolded him with his eyelids, and then he forgot.
He felt his good humor begin to capsize into horrifically pink mud.
The sweet and sexy early morning scene was a lovely ending to an excellent story. *happy sigh*
