It's a beautiful story, Morgana! And a very fitting prequel for "Christmas Present". I love the depth you give to your stories!
Author's Response: Thanks ^^, when I was writing the following story, I was trying to think of a chapter and 'Christmas Present' came to me. However, as I'm a Dickens fan,'Christmas Past' and 'Christmas Future' immediately came to mind and, as the story spans three time frames, it seemed only natural to break it into three chunks. And who better to introduce Severus and Lily's Christmas tradition than the elf who saw it begin ^^
