I loved this from beginning to end, and despite the utter overload of fic I want to read from Yuletide, wished that this could have gone on longer. I loved Draco's fury with Harry's flirting.

Thank you for wanting to read despite the major duty overload.

This was so utterly enjoyable from beginning to end. The only complaint I have about it is, at 34,000 words, it was far too short :)

Oddly, I tend to agree -- I just ran out of time and couldn't write all the scenes I planned. A modified version is going to go up on my lj as soon as I finish writing it.

It's not possible that you haven't gotten any comments yet, is it?... Maybe some people have "better" things to do on Christmas Night than devour a 34k story about gay wizards, but not me! Or rather, even if I had, I'd have had to let those obligations and opportunities slip by because I was immediately enthralled by your story. Utterly delightful. I loved the veiled criticism of certain elements of Deathly Hallows (epilogue, anyone?), I adored the GBS and Wilde references, I thought the sex was creatively described, moving and hot at the same time, and the romantic conflict was juicy but not belabored or unduly tragic. All this despite not actually liking stories in which wizarding culture is overly formal and restrictive.... Good job!

I'm glad you thought Etiquette was a good way to spend Christmas night. I love it that you picked up on GBS and Wilde -- I tried to sneak in a few things to make the (intended) fluffiness stand out. Thank you for your comments.

Hi, um, hello. Just scrolling through and I saw your icon and just had to tell you that I love it! It is awesome in all its Daria!Harry glory!

[kestrelsparhawk]

I hope your sleep was good. I laughed at the comment. I hope it came up to your expectations.

[kestrelsparhawk]

Oops. that one will make no sense to you, because I thought I was replying to the one next to yours! (Though I always hope people's sleep is good.)

Thank you for commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm trying to translate Daria!Harry still....
