This was really great. Different than most fics out there, and in this fandom that's saying something. I loved the the way the story unfolded and how you ended each section. The end was perfect! Thanks for sharing.

You're very welcome - and thank you for reading and commenting. Being told I've written something new in the ocean of H/D fic out there is a huge compliment :)

This! Oh this...was...stunning! I am. Stunned! Awestruck! The back and forth device was like poetry. You have an incredible talent for cadence and balance in writing. Just. Wow!

[frayach]

I'm so glad you liked it!

I started out my writing life as a poet & not a story/prose writer, so it was fun to write something that allowed me to go back to my roots, so to speak. Thank you so much for reading and commenting :)

I almost didn't click the link in my e-mail when I saw this. Sorry to say, a lot of fics this round were disappointing in my opinion.

But this. I would've given an arm and leg just to read this. Again and again and again. Beautiful can't sum up the characters, how both Draco and Harry need each other so much. I really loved how you gave us point of views from each side, letting us see how their actions and words merely defined themselves for each other.

I admit it. I cried like a baby at the end. It's just so... You are made of awesome. Scratch that, you are awesome personified.

Can't wait for the reveal. I'll stalk you forever if I haven't already. <3

LOL! You're not currently stalking me, but you're more than welcome to. I love being stalked (on LJ that is *g*).

I've had a couple conversations with people recently about not-so-great-fic. It seems like there's more out there than usual. I think it may be that the fandom is less intimidating than it used to be & new writers are giving it a go - for good and bad. Right now, I'm encountering one or two REALLY good fics per fest and about four or five good ones. I write too much to be able to read everything, so I'm pretty demanding. If a story doesn't grab me right away, I'll push the back button & go on to the next one. I don't want to stop reading a fest entirely because there really are always a couple of stories that are rock-my-socks awesome. But I won't get beyond a few paragraphs with fics that are either bad or just so-so.

So that said, I'm thrilled you decided to give this a try & liked it! Thank you so much, and thank you for leaving a make-my-day comment. I'll look for you on my flist :)

This was really amazing! I loved the give and take and the compare and contrast between them! I'll definitely be rereading this! It was woven together beautifully! A very interesting take on the prompt! It's so very lovely!

I adored the happy ending! And how Draco left his wand behind so that Harry would know he was staying! This really makes me flail! <333

And their jealousy! I love jealous boys! XD

I love how they took up for one another. Draco telling people they'll never be able to beat Harry and Harry telling people they'll never arrest Draco <3

<3 <3 <3

Hey there!

I'm SO happy you like the result of your prompt. I don't always manage to hit the right buttons with my prompters, so the fact that you like it makes me extra happy :)

I love jealousy too, and I haven't written much of it . . . hhhmmmm, note to self. And I'm thrilled you liked the wand detail. Nobody else mentioned it, but it's one of my favorite moments in the whole story. Draco knew it was a message that Harry couldn't not be able to interpret.

Thank you so much for the lovely comment, Kitty.
