My God, Delta. I am speechless. So absolutely brilliant. You've combined these tales so beautifully and everything was so rich and vivid: the descriptions of the clothes, the carriages. The interactions with Sirius and Severus at the start, the beauty of their lovemaking in the middle and the dreadful ache in Harry's chest when Severus spurns him. Instant classic, darling. Well done indeed, cherie.
