The last two chapters gave me a pretty backache. (I tend to stiffen up when I'm nervous or agitated which leads to tension in my muscles) that's how in/tense/ this part of your story was!
I'm so happy for our two heroes. And I really think that doing what Harry and Sev do - facing their fears and standing in for what they want - is nothing short of heroic. Especially when, like Severus, you have a lifetime of longing and foresaking yourself to counter. Those fears of what might go wrong, that it's easier to remain in the status-quo than chose for once what you desire. That it might turn out that it would have been better/less humiliating (because, really, it can only go wrong and be utterly embarrassing in the end). That it's better to be lonely than to be hurt. For some people these thoughts are daily occurences. That they summon the courage to act against what they /know/ to be true, a given fact, is in my opinion one of the bravest things to do in a person's everyday, personal life.
Well. That was long. Sorry... Thank you for bothering to read that far. As always, thank you for your work! ^^
