While I was reading this story there were so many things that I liked and loved and wanted to comment on when I finished. Lets see if I can remember any of them. Firstly, I loved that every time that Harry and Draco met Harry was injured and Draco had to heal him. What a turn around from when he was one causing him harm. I thought the pacing was perfect. It could have been rushed and I almost feared that that would happen, but it was not. And the build up from their not quite friendship to something quite beyond friendship was what I loved about this fic. I liked that they seemed only to ever touch on being friends.

Also, I thought Draco was flirting, but most of the time I was like Harry, oblivious to the undertone and only caught it once the fic was done.

And the end was just perfect. I loved how Draco told Harry that it was about time he asked him out. Then he went as far as to tell him what exactly to wear. It was just so Draco. The fic was prefect. I loved it to pieces!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! This is simply to find. :D

I did try to show Draco using the spell on Harry because the first time we see this spell, it's used to heal Harry from an injury Draco caused. (Or at least, that's what I think my canon tells me. I'm a bit rusty ;).) I'm only good at writing the slow build-up, so I'm glad that it worked for you and you enjoyed it. :D

I wasn't even always sure if Draco was flirting, so that was completely understandable. He plays his cards close to his chest. ;)

Thank you so much; your feedback was lovely. I'm glad that you liked the story!

Aww, that was lovely :) I loved how Draco was always around to save Harry and the ending was perfect.

There was one sentence that was just pure sex! At the concert when Harry used his bloody hand to push his hair out of his face, probably all sweaty and... Guh :D I also loved the slow development of their friendship and relationship.

Great job ♥

Thank you :D.

I'm so glad that you liked it and that the imagery worked for you. I was startled at first when you said "pure sex," but I get what you mean. :D Hehe, Harry does have presence. :D

Thanks!

That was FABULOUS. I love how Harry's clutziness tied everything together.

I love that Draco interfered with the vaults, and I was so glad to see him

snarking some sense into that crowd at the concert. Beautiful fabulous

story! Loved it!

Thank you :). I really wanted to work with the prompt, but I also wanted a lighter story--thanks!

Thank you for your lovely feedback :D. It means a lot :D.

*does a little dance*

Draco in this was AMAZING, he was so sarcastic and unhappy until Harry said they were friends... and then Draco started being kinder and more attentive. I liked that Draco ended up helping him so much. Especially at the rock concert. His big speech was just made of awesome.

I liked how Harry was so pathetic. It was adorable. And then the ending letters! :D

Their children were pretty cool in this story too. yay!

Great job!

Thank you!

I'm glad that Draco read true to you and that you enjoyed him so much. Draco is one of the characters I'm always concerned about writing, so that was great to know. :)

Harry's just getting his feet back under him ;).

Thanks, I'm glad you liked the children, I felt like I barely included them, but the structure of the story just didn't really lend itself to more involvement from them. :D

Thanks again! Your feedback was lovely. :D
