Review:
Some indefinite time after the war, Snape asks Harry to help translate a parchment that seems to have Parceltounge symbols on it. Over the months of ensuing research, romance blossoms.

The first half of this fic is a solid, well-written first time romance and if that was all the fic proved to be, I still likely would have recced it (but it wouldn't be a particularly effusive rec).

Then I got to the second half of the fic and was just blown away. No only do you finally get the completed translation of the parchment (which is just about the most awesome thing ever), but you also have some traumatic backstory for Snape that results in lots of lovely hurt/comfort and a slow building relationship between Harry and Snape. The end result is quite moving and wonderful real. Great fic.
