I ADORED this fic, evidenced by the fact that I couldn't put it down and hence stayed up until 3am reading it, desperate for the conclusion to what was a gripping and thoroughly enjoyable fic. It almost felt like two parts, firstly Harry's determination to get to know Snape thinking he was his dad, then, when the truth came out, how he went about repairing the damage he'd done. And then came the realisation that the bond they'd built was more for him than purely platonic.
I was so happy to see Harry stand up to James; I really love how you made an AU story seem so very close to how I would imagine Harry's relationship with James to be had he not died in the books. Absolutely outstanding writing as usual, and blistering hot smex to boot!
