Really beautiful... First I thought it was quite sweet, then it broke my heart that seems to happen quite easy and then it was sweet again. Ah, but I'm glad that Snape is living. It's not nice to see Harry so sad. *gives him a cookie* And that was just because of his former stalker. I liked that Harry/Colin/Music thing. btw, isn't it Creevey?

Oh, and I liked the music. :D I generally like it if music is a part of fics in that way and not in a songfic way, but I rarely read that with Snape.

Nice job!

Thanks for the lovely comments and the good catch. Yes, it is Creevey..

It's the first time I've incorporated music into a fic, and I enjoyed doing it.

This is so dreamy. It really does remind me of "Saturday's Child" in that way, and in the use of the ever-helpful RoR. I love the point-of-no-return moment when we learn that they've begun wearing nightclothes, admitting to themselves exactly what they are there for. Snape more than Harry. I love the changes you made, and the extra bit in the smex department really hit the spot.
So lovely (and fluffy).

Thanks hun. Your beta pointers were spot-on, the little details I added because of it I think make it richer.

I always feel a bit weird about writing a fluffy Snarry. *shudders*

But, yeah, I get the same 'feel' from this one as I did Saturday's Child. I'm glad of that because it's one of my favorites that I've written.

I can totally see all of that happening!

I loved Severus being in character, and being haunted by his past. Only to find comfort with Harry in a platonic way at first. That can only grow into a deep seeded respect for each other. So much so that neither Harry or Severus can bare to be without the other.

I wouldn't exactly call it love to start with. But it definately grew into that. And I don't think Harry would want Severus any other way, than the snarky self concious man that he is.

Great choice of songs too by the way. AC/DC Rocks!!! I so want to go see them next year when they are in Queensland, but both concerts soldout in record time.

Thanks so much, hun. I'm glad you like the progression of this one.

I had so much fun picking the songs for this. And, yeah, AC/DC does rock, so I had to at least mention them in the notes. You can imagine how fun the research was--figuring out which bands were playing in London in 1976.

I don't think anybody would have noticed, if they hadn't been.

At least you picked something with Bon Scott instead of Brian (whatshisname)

One of my favourite of their older songs is Dirty deeds or Highway to Hell or Long way to the top.

Actually there are too many that are my favourites it's hard to choose.
