Aw... Very sweet. I kind of love Percy, and he's so peculiarly formal here. When he blurts out his feelings, it's a great moment.

[kiertorata]

Thank you!

Oh. My. God! This is brilliant!
I love how awkward Percy is, and all the tension that causes! These two are one of my favourite pairings because of how awkward and nervous Percy would be and you've shown it perfectly! Thank you! :)

[kiertorata]

You're welcome. So glad you liked it! <3

Oh... not a pairing I've ever read (because tbh I have a hard time with Percy), but this was great. I enjoyed the dynamics and a the grown-up version of Percy. Plus UST and pining are such fun tropes to read/write.

Loved especially the way Percy confessed his love and called Oliver a moron at the same time. *lol*

Plus... the longer I think about it the more Oliver seems like the little black dress of HP fandom. He goes with everything;)

Thanks!

I totally lolled at the black dress comment! :DD

I love Percy and Oliver together, and it's so nice to see Percy being the one to make the first move. I also totally smiled when Percy gets frustrated trying to explain himself and just blurts this out: “Because I’m in love with you, you moron.”. Fantastic.

Thank you! <3

Loving that first line. That bit about being tolerably happy. I have to say that I've never thought about Percy being in a relationship but you I can see the appeal. This story was adorable.

I love Percy's confession to Oliver. It's like all his Weasley traits (the ones Ron is prone to when nervous) came out. So much dry humour like this one gem: Looks like you don't know what you're doing with your life either...

Thanks!
