I can't vote, but I just wanted to say how lovely I think this is. It seems that you've taken care with each word; so you can write sparingly, like a poet. Great imagery. I love the line about her kiss - how it would throw someone off who didn't have a taste for it. Obviously, they're made for each other. :)

Maybe I had poetry already in my mind before I read it because of the title. It reminds me of Robert Frost's "Nothing Gold Can Stay." The first line is, "Nature's first green is gold," and it immediately sprang to mind when I read the title of your piece. It's interesting, the poem is about the passing of time, changing of seasons - kind of like this fic.

*happy sigh* I can't vote, either, but I loved this, both the languid first half, in which everything is slightly smothered by the heat, and the urgent, sexy, second half.

Something about life, not death.

Yes, exactly. Gorgeous!

“No.” Harry agrees and bends at the waist ever-so-slightly to touch his mouth to hers. The sweetness of her kiss is like the newest of springtime berries - a hint of tart, of something that might throw off those without a taste for it. His Ginny has never been easy to handle.

It's been mentioned, but that line was absolutely phenomenal. :)

Love this fic! Love the beautiful words use to describe Ginny.

Aside from the lines mentioned above, I love this one, too.

And behind his eyes, colors explode - shades of gold and green - the gold of the fireworks in the sky, the green of the grass, and the light of their shared magic.

I will vote YES, if I am able to. :D

I really loved the imagery in this story. Phenomenal job! An enthusiastic "yes" from me! :)
