That was great! I loved that they comforted each other, especially because Draco was the one to make the first gesture. Very sweet, and well done!

*hugs* :D Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it!

Oh yay! I love the use of this prompt! Awesome. And I love how this story incorporates that feel of reading a book, and it just includes so many people to make it so lively. Such an adorable ending and I'm glad the boys were able to help each other out during their times of pain. Really cute!

WOOT!

Thank you! *hugs* I'm glad you liked it! At first I was thinking about making this a Crack!fic but somehow I turned out this way.

I couldn't resist the ending! :D Once I got the idea I just had to write it! :D

Awwww! *melts*

"Shut up, Malfoy!" Harry shouted; he really had had enough. "Just shut the fuck up! I don't want to hear a word from you!"

"Don't tell me to shut up! You shut up!"

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

Somehow this just had me cracking up--they're so childish sometimes! *laughs*

*giggles* Yes, they can be childish sometimes, I think it's part of their charm! XD Thanks!

I really love to see 'dead' people resurrected to life in AU fics--it was nice to see Sirius, and also the other canon characters you worked in. Poor Harry--they turned out to be there for each other--great h/c!

akiko88 April 5 2009, 11:57:24 UTC

I like to see those people as well. And I also like to read about the background characters like Narcissa. I don't usually write them though. In this fic I could use them as part of the plot, so I'm very happy about that!

Again, thanks for beta-reading! You're the best! *hugs*

I'm a sucker for hospital stories!
I liked how you came up with Draco's liquid skin condition - very creative! And poor harry, having his wound re-opened over and over? You're just mean! :D (but it was a great way to keep both in the hospital for a while.)

I loved all the nummy AU bits - my favorite being the Narcissa/Lily friendship.

Well done with the prompt! YAY team AU!

Thank you very much!
Glad you liked Draco's condition, I wanted it to be something different.

I'm not mean! I just wrote a 'perfect' Draco-comforts-Harry-who-is-in-pain!plot ;D I love the boys comforting eachother when they are in pain. :D
