This first part is fabulous. Simply fantastic. I don't recall reading a fic in the last year (!) that I have enjoyed so thoroughly. Being also a fan of Jane Eyre (although not Jane herself, her sweetness is a bit overdone at times...) your retelling of the story and the ways in which you have altered and changed it to fit Harry's world is fabulous, fantastic, amazing (adjectives can no longer do this story justice!) and might just surpass the original; Harry's 'tormented artist' pose sometimes seems to overlap Jane's determined and a little lost character, sometimes more realistic than her. Although I don't know if Jane would ever have told Rochester that she loves him in so fierce a manner as Harry tells Draco, it is nonetheless realistic and - if I may - very Gryffindor.
I'm moving on straight away to the second part!!! And thank you for writing this. You have done the H/D fandom a huge service.
