Beautiful. I loved the serenity that permeated Harry, the utter unwavering confidence he had in Draco, his calm self-assurance that it was his choice and that Draco cared for him above all. The transition you used form present to past was excellent with the small notes that had meaning for both Harry and Draco, that brought about more than just clues, they had history ingrained into the written words.

I like the symbolism and the structure you adopted. It works great for me. Once again your ability to write psychologically comprehensive characters is stunning. I utterly believed and experienced everything along with Harry.

What I love mot is how you made the total power exchange that is their relationship all about their inner selves and not about power. It's not masochism, sadism, or any other extreme kink that drives them, it's not about servitude or redemption of sins real or imaginary, it is the simple need to feel complete and at peace - it just happens that the completeness comes along with this kind of relationship.

My sincerest compliments. In my opinion it's one of your strongest one-shots along with Hymn to Colour.
