Amruniel's Rec: This is without a doubt one of the most heartbreaking fic's I've ever read. Not heartbreaking in a sad way, but a turmoil of emotions. The anxiety, the desperation, and later on the feeling of utter belonging, of being at home, of love and satisfaction that pours out of every word, of every line.
I had to fight back tears throughout the last pages because I just couldn't stand the thought of having to read those wonderful, breathtaking lines with a blurred vision. I had to see it. Clear. Undisturbed. I had to absorb every little nuance,  every heartbeat.

I've never seen a fic like that before.
The pictures, that made it so much more real.
The stunning, wonderful, magical ideas.
Those books.
Those candles.

The emotions.
Hardly ever spelled out, but pouring out of every word.
Simply there.

And I loved the subtle changes of the characters. You are in the middle of the forming of their relationship without ever noticing it until it is there, and suddenly you see all that makes it so believable, so real. It's plausible, it's tangible, it's.... heartbreaking.

And then, there's Grimmauld Place... amazing, like nothing I've ever seen.

I love this story to bits.
