This was adorable! I loved it!

[bluemchenblatt]

I agree!

[fireelemental79]

And thank you too.

[fireelemental79]

Thank you. :-D

“Only that if I’m going to have to pay, you’re going to have to put out.”

Fucking great. Man, this story was awesome! I just loved the way you handled the two men, in the midst of all this ridiculousness. You managed to make their slow crash into each other very believable, even with gay house elves. And I laughed out loud a ridiculous amount.

[fireelemental79]

Thanks. I was a little worried once I finished it that their coming together would seem either fast or that it just wouldn't be believeable. Good to hear that you laughed out loud a lot too. :-D

Omg, the house-elves were such a hoot. A fic set in the WWW factory -- how could it be anything but funny?

[fireelemental79]

Yeah, when I saw acromantular's prompt I knew it was crack or bust. Although, I think this actually could have been crackier. To me it seems awfully serious. ;-) Just kidding.

[acromantular]

Oh my god.
*crawls back into chair, resumes breathing after giggles have subsided*

That was fabulous- I totally didn't see it coming, despite what, in retrospect, are quite clear warnings. You rock.

I love how shell-shocked the boys are! And how matter-of-fact Harry is the next morning. Little exchanges like this totally made it:

“You always keep a spare toothbrush, Potter?”

“As a matter of fact, yes, ever since I accidentally dropped mine in the toilet.

More thoughts on this later after I've had time for a re-read, but a big enthusiastic thank-you, mystery author! This just got better and better.

I think you broke my brain. ;D

I know I missed the boat in not mentioning this in my author's note, but your special requests/kinks and your "intentionally vague prompts" (well at least the beta-testing twins one) made my month! I've never actually written anything with house-elves before so that was a nice challenge and the "beta testing" thing just smacked me with bunny-joy. I guess there's something to be said for intentional vaugeness. ^_^ Anyway, I'm glad things weren't too obvious and that you were nicely surprised at the end and that I made your month and that you liked it so much you actually want to read it again. *pats brain and hopes it unbreaks soon ~_-*

[acromantular]

I'm so glad!
My attempts at prompts are usually abysmal, so it's fantastic that some of these clicked for you.

Upon reread:
“There are house-elves shagging in my flat, Harry. My house-elf is snogging and humping my father’s favourite torture victim under my very roof. And you think cider and chips are going to fix this?”
Have I mentioned that shell-shocked Draco is a wonderful thing?

Why would I ever willingly choose to return to a job where I was guaranteed sexual harassment on top of everything else?

[fireelemental79]

Abysmal! Ha! No. I tried to get in as much as I possibly could, although I worried that this fic might present our guys as being too, what were your words, "suddenly gay" I think.

Anyway, now that I can say it again under my own name, I'm glad you liked it. AND, if you were seeeeeekreeeeetly hoping for more smut, I have a sequel in mind that I'm intending to totally smut out. Just as soon as I sit down and write it that is. ;-D

... the details of the WWW factory. amazing! This is very cute and enjoyable. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for reading.
