Oh this was so good. Kind of like a traditional good old H/D with a little angst and a lot of lovin and I loved it.

Thank you so much! I'm really pleased that it felt like traditional, old school H/D! ♥

Oh! Oh! You have my utmost respect...not only because this is awesome, but because you had to write for an icon and you did it so well!!! Excellent!

dragonfly_lily December 24 2006, 22:27:13 UTC

That is so nice! And yeah, I was totally nervous about writing this! I have so much respect for Emma Grant's stuff (and for her!). I'm so happy you thought this was okay! ♥

I totally should have known this was you! No wonder I loved it so much! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

*flails* I loved every bit of this. The friendship between them felt genuine, and the UST was tangible; I particularly liked the way Draco could feel Harry's magic. (And the part where Harry's orgasm made the books fall off the shelves? Fabulous.) I also liked the insights into Auror training -- that it takes three long years and involves so many different tests of skill and character. A lot of times plots like this can feel contrived, but with the setup you gave it, Draco's task seemed perfectly plausible -- because Harry is a weak spot for him. Finally, I would be remiss if I didn't comment on the sex, which was very hot; I like the thought of Harry being a confident, generous lover.

Anyway, I'm rambling now, but I hope it's clear how much I enjoyed this. Good work, Santa! :-D

Thank you so much! I'm so pleased that you liked this and that the UST came across and such. The orgasm/book shelf thing was me trying to be all tongue-in-cheek!clever - get it? Harry's orgasm was "top shelf", heh. So witty, I know! :D I'm also glad you liked the Auror training and such, too! And yay for the sex, hee!

Thank you for this!

Haha, I have to admit I missed the "top shelf" thing! Thanks for letting me know what you intended. :-D
