This one touched something deep within my romantic soul. I was so sucked into Draco's pain that I actually cried at one point.

on his knees, forehead on the floor, arms spread wide, palms pressed against the marble. He represented the centre of a large flower painted on the floor. The petals were the sigils of his blood.

There are so many powerful images I could quote from this story, but this one has remained the strongest in my mind. Although there is much pain, this is a story of deep and abiding love.

*hugs* Thank you! It's great to know that although you saw all the stupid pre-beta mistakes, you still like the story.

Also, I kept the vague hint of Lucious, because in a way it distracts from all the intensity of the H/D line and shows that the world is not over, does not resolve all around them... I don't know. I suppose I just like it as a moment and mood... :) Thank you for commenting.

Wow.

I actually started crying. That's saying something because the only other story that made me cry was Beautiful World.

Wonderful writing.

[spark_of_chaos]

Thank you! I was a bit concerned that it was all too fluffy, but people's reactions so far reassure me greatly :)

I am the girl who lives...

and loves...
and plays.

Sparky, this is an honour. Truly. And as evryone said, this was beautiful. I do believe a couple of tears escaped me at one point too. (Where Draco is destroying everything.)

Thank you for writing something part inspired by me, and thank you for doing it justice. You're amazing. :)

Certainly :)

Just go here.

It has been unlocked for the general public now...I guess I don't really mind who reads it anymore. Thank you for asking, and I hope you enjoy. Take care xx

Not exactly the whole fic, as you'll probably notice, but certain parts bear heavy resemblance...
