Right now this is my absolute *fave* of your stories.
I am veryexcited about the HP/LM fic but it hasn't gotten anywhere really yet, whereas this story plausibly maintains a tense emotional intensity that constantly has me on the edge of my seat in nearly every update. I almost feel like I am 'emotionally' watching tennis... switching from character to character to see how they are reacting to the drama.
What gets me is that in many author's hands this tension would by now be a) boring, b)unbelievable or c),maudlin. However I routinely feel completely caught up in each character's plight. I care just as much about Severus as Draco as Harry here. (I probably couldn't care less about Dumbledore but that is an old prejudice...lol)
I really cannot wait for more. This is probably one of the best things I've ever read of yours (and I've read quite a bit of your archive and enjoyed it greatly.)
It is quite something for me to so greatly love a story where you turned my favorite character into a howler (wink) but I suppose you're just that good!
