What a fantastic story. So much to love - Severus' journey to find himself and happiness, Harry's dogged loyalty and love and the Malfoys that are more than just bad guys but wise and steadfast friends who only want what is best for Severus. This is the kind of epilogue I'd have liked to have seen at the end of the DH. I also really loved Severus' goodbye to Lily in the last chapter. So many writers in order to pair Severus and Harry dismiss Severus' love for Lily as the love of a friend but you don't and I appreciate that. I am sure I will come back and re read this one again and again.
