That was just darling! Oh man! I loved your characterizations, and the implied pre-slash H/D was the icing on the cake. Delightful!

So glad reveals are up -- I can reply to these lovely reviews. :) Thank you!

I felt a certain sympathy with you, mystery author, right from your notes, and buy the end of the story I had decided it was because we could very easily hang out over cups of hot chocolate laughing at each other's jokes. This was exactly my cup of tea, from the clever use of multi-generational characters to push the narrative along, to the lovely character notes all the way through it; Albus's calm good sense was simply perfect and tremendously welcome.

Your sense of wit was so clever but delicate all the way through, even when dealing with completely unsubtle characters. Congratulations on a very well crafted and highly enjoyable story!

You really have no idea how madly I snickered when I read this comment. :D

Thank you so much, as always!

That was fabulous! I loved being inside Scorpius' head and that he escaped his reality through books. I"m assuming most of us on this LJ can say the same for our own teens. Just lovely...and LOL at Draco yelling out "whore" during Astoria's wedding. The visual of that is just too funny.

I certainly think we all did, whether it was divorce or sexuality or general social anxiety... spot-on, there. Thank you for your comment!

Wow, this so was so awesome. I love-Love-LOVED your Draco and Narcissa. I nearly peed myself laughing at "How is the frizzy little thing?"

You totally win. I want more.

Thank you!

There would be more if I weren't, you know, lazy and chronically procrastinating. :P
