Oh my..! This was, well, I'm at a loss for words, really..! Fantastic, HOT, romantic, HOT, delightful, HOT, very well written, HOT, oh, and did I mention hot?
I especially liked your take on the bonding, the Christmas Eve touch, and the "Detention Frottage" (yay!). The sex scenes didn't go amiss either. Ahem. ^///^ And I adore references to the deep friendship between Snape and Lily. *sighs*
Thank you so much! It managed to give me that warm feeling in my stomach that I find I crave in January. Such a lovely, feel-good story! You made evening, that you did. ^_~*
