Awesomeness!
I loved the Slytherins in them using an interview for their business. And being Slytherins to each other. XD

lol

I love how we were discussing the fest and this got posted. I did that with someone else's gift fic too.

Maybe the mods are spying on me!

Hi! I'm so, so sorry for taking so long to get back to you on this. First, I'd like to thank you *so much* for taking the time to write this brilliant and wonderful fic. I loved it to pieces. The idea of a match-making AS/S couple is new, intriguing, and wonderful.

I love the interview format of the story: it gives it a refreshing feel and at the same time the notion that everything will be all right, no matter how bad things go, because right now, they're together. The fact that Al handles the girls and Scorpius the guys makes me giggle, a little.

And I practically squee'ed at all the prompts you've managed to incorporate into this story. They're wonderful. When I read, "Friendship can turn to love, but love to friendship, never," I was all asldfjkgj!!! It's one of my favorite quotes, and seeing it in a fic, seeing Scorpius say it--it makes me insanely happy. :D :D

And the ending is hilarious and wonderful and oh so them.

Again, thank you so much, Mystery Author!

Yay! I admit it! It was me! Now you know why I refused to let my other fic run as a comm gift... my giftee did drop out, and I was reassigned to you! You'd already read the first half of my fic, so I dropped that one and scrambled to write this one up for you because you are such an awesome wonderful fabulous beta. :) I love you! ♥

And I'm glad you like the interview format. I wasn't sure if you would like knowing they were together from the start. But you did, so yay! :)

And I tried my hardest to get in all of the prompts. I really, really did try to make James and Teddy get together too, or at least closer than they ended up, but James refused to bend. ;_; (I hate James. He's the hardest character for me to write. T-T Bratty boy.)

And yay! I'm glad the ending worked for them! Though I wish I had developed Scorp a bit more. He feels as open ended as my love intrests usually are. XD

But I had a ton of fun writing this and I'm so, so glad you liked it! *hugs* Thank you for being the amazing person you are! :)

I loved this story so much! It was totally adorable and I loved how both Al and Scorp had their own reasons for wanting to do the interview... So Slytherin!

Very adorable!

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked the format... I was afraid it wouldn't be well received. :)
