MA, thank you so so so much for this wonderful gift! I loved everything about this, the characters, the setting, the pining! Club scenes are some of my favorite, and even more so when there's an element of emotional vulnerability. All of your descriptions made the scene easy to picture, and I love the idea of Teddy with purple hair (I'm sure James loves it too haha). I thought that Blake Zabini was a fun, new OC that I'd also love to know more about. The brief descriptions of the huge, complex family that Teddy and James and Blake are all a part of was nice, and Teddy's emotions about his family felt very real, especially the part about missing his parents in it all. And the ending was so sweet, "Yeah," replied Teddy. "You're with me.", aw, they're with each other!! And the kissing before that *fans self* I wonder what they'll get up to now ;) Thanks once again for such a lovely present ♥

I rarely read next-gen fics but really enjoyed this! It was fun to witness the new-to-the-scene vibe with James, and interesting to read about the new and complex family situations with Harry and Ginny's new marriages. There was some great dynamic and dialogue between Teddy and James and James's line "Dance with me then. Protect me" was perfect. Most of all I loved the pacing of this story - I can't pinpoint what it was about it, but it flowed very naturally!

Oooo I have a weak spot for club fics, so this was just delightful to read. Loved your OCs and how you fleshed out these next gen characters. <3

I loved this so much MA! Teddy's feelings come through really well, and I love the end scene with Blake.
