So Very Hot!!! The fact that they are both in love with each other and yet continue so long with their marriages (despite the smoking hot sex!) makes me rather sad though. I love that although Draco is generally the bottom in this relationship, they are still both depicted as such incredibly strong personalities, it seems very in character. Fabulous story, luv, I very much enjoyed it!!!

Eeeee, thanks! Writing that much sex made me more than a bit edgy, so glad to hear it worked.
Unfortunately, prolonged infidelity is a frequent side-effect of Epilogue-compliance; I think it made them sad, too. And Draco is going to be a pushy SOB whether he's a top or bottom. :)

So glad you liked it! ♥

... oh my goodness, that just about broke my heart because there was SO MUCH HOPE and love and sweetness and then the last chapter threw it all into a tizzy. god i hope harry just man's up!

After that I doubt Harry will have much of a choice! While Ginny has clearly resolved to take the high road (whatever that means in this situation) and Harry seems poised to do something, it's still ambiguous, so let me just say I'm a big fan of happy endings. :)

Thank you for reading and commenting - I'm so glad you liked it!

Very nice. Adultery isn't my thing, but I enjoyed this anyway. :)

Sorry about the adultery - it's hard to avoid in Epilogue compliant fic. But awesome to hear you still liked it, and thanks for reading outside your comfort zone!

The end hit me hard, very powerful! Loved it, the accent on the sex, the pacing, the nine-part division, and of course the characterisations. Full marks!

[acromantular]

Awesome! The ending basically wrote itself first thing, then the rest filled in behind. With such an awesome prompt, I really wanted to stick with 9 parts - keeping it short was hard! I'm so glad to hear that the format worked, and that you liked it.
Thanks so much for reading and commenting! ♥

Really well-paced. The fact that it was sex but so much more every time. And the ending is perfect.
