I left a review on AO3, but wanted to comment here as well...

I absolutely adored this. So sweet, yet full of angst. And I love that Severus tries to resist but realises that he should be allowed this one bit of goodness.

Wonderfully written, thank you again <3

Thank you so much, and thank you for the prompt! I had the beginnings of this on my hard drive for years as a Snape/Hermione piece, and it never worked (the personalities just didn't fit the interaction IMO). I knew there was the seeds of something to it but it never occurred to me to try it with a different student. And then when I saw the prompt, I had one of those skidding-to-a-halt moments and went, WHOA. I can do something with this!
