Oh, I loved this! It was exquisitely balanced: Draco was guarded, but not too much; Harry was oblivious, but not overly so; and the denouement happened at the perfect pace. It's so hard to get those things just exactly right but you certainly did it, mystery author. The fic struck me as emotionally true and it's always so satisfying to feel that about a story. I'll be saving this to reread.

Oh, this was so heartbreakingly lovely in an achy kind of hopeful way. And you know what, it just reminds me of lovely_slyth's writing, I can't think of a higher compliment because she's The Best H/D writer Ever *nods*
Your Draco resembles hers in a really beautiful way, esp. in his friendship for Pansy, and I love Protective!Pansy, btw.
Oh, and that typical scoffing attitude of Ron is one of my peeves about him. I mean, really would it hurt him to open his mind?! I really liked how Harry put him straight.
Ok, now I'm rambling, sorry. Lovely work on all counts.

Ah, gentle and delightful. This story is a balm when one needs a break from rough, rushed, up-against-the-wall stories. I wonder what Pansy thinks now?
