*blush* Thanks, love. I'm... I'm glad it turned out well. I spent so much time polishing it and tweaking it and rephrasing and reordering and... I agonised over it, and I'm so happy it was worth the effort. I missed the snow and cold of home, and I really was feeling it by the end of writing that, and I'm glad it carried over to you as well. :) I don't quite know what to say, so I'm blabbering in fanboyish glee, and I guess I'll stop here. Thank you.

Lovely that eumenides1 loved the bits I liked. Although I loved all of it, as you know.

The chill permeates into every line, it actually made me feel cold.

a hole through both our hearts, though his is only physical.

Lovely lovely lovely, and if that makes me pretentious, pass the petit fours and lets read Byron!

Thank you!

THANK YOU! *snogs* Yes, let's read Byron, and you can share my Perrier and lime and we'll complain about young people these days, the uncultured swine...

I already told you but I'm saying it again, you're brilliant!

the great inhalations of sharp ragged breaths that drew the subzero air deep inside his body, as though Heaven itself penetrated him

The whole thing is gorgeous but for some reason I just really liked this line.

You are a most talented artist and I can't wait for you to write more. Just brilliant!

*loves* Thanks, Cali. I'm glad you liked it, and that's one of my favourite lines as well. I'm all blushy...

I'm all out of my usual flippancy here, because you just keep getting better and better. It made my heart hurt. There's hotness, but there's so much more there than the hot. There's so much pain and despair in there, it's heartbreaking. I have to re-iterate what UL and Eumenides said, it's just making me cold to my bones to read it.

The shard of pure ice through Draco's heart would remain until spring's thaw, and when their bodies were uncovered at last, there could be no doubt that the cycle was finished, the internal made external, the hidden revealed by Death, the chastiser and absolver of foolish young men.
Just so beautifully written and so very poetic.

*is in awe*

Wow, thanks. *shags on the spot* You always make me so happy with your reviews, V.

Jesus! It's the middle of bloody summer and I've had to go find a blanket.
Chilling. Well done.
