LEILA. OH MY GOD. I'M CRYING NOW, FOR REASONS ENTIRELY NOT RELEVANT TO THE FUCKING BOY. LEILA.

I LOVE YOU. ♥

Thank you SO much. You make my heart burst and this fic BLEW me away and you just AMAZE me and you are a WONDERFUL friend. I am SO glad you're in my life. It's going to make this heartbreak SO much easier. Easier because I have you in my life. We're destined, just look at our birthdays. It's so kismet.

I love you!

Jesus, Lee. I just went back and read this and I am just.. God, it's SO gorgeous. I listened to "Run" this time while reading it and YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW GORGEOUS THIS IS RIGHT NOW.

The outside became less wet and muddy. The air became a gossamer scent that was crisp, chilly and bright, earthy and haunting. She could smell bittersweet walnut, pallid flowers, dusty woods and soft herbs. Night-blooming flowers added their notes to the slush. Pale musk, spruce. Magic blossomed boldly in the night.

That is just poetic and gorgeous and .. MAGICAL. SO stunning. It literally takes your breath away.

Girls fancied Draco Malfoy because he wasn’t a hero, and he didn’t want to be. He was a Malfoy, he was certainly good looking, but most of all, it was because he looked so shuttered whenever he wasn’t flaunting or taunting. Girls wanted to draw him out, make him lose control, make him burn. What an accomplishment it would be, to make that pale skin blush, to set him on fire.GOD, YES! You've got it DOWN. Except you had it down more beautifully

Yes, writing angst was probably not a good idea, but then I realized, what the hell, Betty likes angst. And also, "Run" is SUCH a gorgeous song. And also, I'M SO GLAD YOU KNEW IT WAS RUN. What gave it away? The title? I tried incorporating the song lyrics -- "I'll sing it one last time for you, then we really have to go" "You've been the only thing that's right in a lifetime" because it was too beautiful not to use.

LMFAO. Hybrid Draco <333333

Just...I'm just happy you liked this. And that, I hope, it took your mind off boy (KNOW HIS NAME NOW) for a while :)

[streetscribbles]

You know how we ALWAYS talk about "Run" being the perfect Draco song? I've always wanted to write fic for it. I'm sure you have too. I'm glad you were the first to do it and I am just.. *SO* honored that you made it D/Hr. This is EXACTLY what I wanted to convey had I written my own "Run"!Draco fic except you carried it out like 87x more beautifully.

Everything gave it away, fool! The title is gorgeous. The lines you incorporated were gorgeous. Plus, you were listening to it at the time. Good lord, that song is just TOO gorgeous. Lee, thanks again. <3

I have absolutely no words.... okay. well i have some words.
lee, this is just so fucking beautiful. it was just... beautiful.

The air became a gossamer scent that was crisp, chilly and bright, earthy and haunting. She could smell bittersweet walnut, pallid flowers, dusty woods and soft herbs. Night-blooming flowers added their notes to the slush. Pale musk, spruce. wow.... wow.
the entire description in the beginning was beautiful, and so perfect. and it sets up the rest of the story so perfectly.

He wasn’t in control now, but Hermione didn’t feel any elation. On the contrary, it was a terrible thing to see, and she wished she hadn’t. that was exactly how i felt in the book. so torn for him.

I belong to someone else. I have never belonged to anyone else or anything or anywhere, least of all to you. ....*sighs* oh, draco.

“What, Hermione?” he asked wearily, and he sounded so tired that she was frightened, and she couldn’t bear to look at him, yet she couldn’t stand to look away either. It hurt to look at him, to see the angry

[applecede]

Jenn! I'm sorry I didn't get back to you right away; my old laptop died and went all screwy despite my love for it.

Just, wow. I'm glad someone else besides Betty, diehard D/Hr fan that she is, liked this :D Especially since I worried that it might be a poor gift indeed if Hermione wasn't written properly and Draco wasn't Draco...just thank you for pointing out the parts that worked <3

Talk to you online soon! Must DL Aim.

[pardonthelitany]

it was a fantastic gift, and obviously, betty loved it :D
sorry about you laptop, are you going to get a new computer?

i'll talk to you later tonight :)

[eucalyptus]

That was nothing short of amazing. I'm all a-tingly inside! *wibbles* What a gift. *sigh*

[applecede]

Hey! Wow, thank you! :D I probably should have written something a bit more uplifting, but Betty knows she's loved, at the very least :P

[eucalyptus]

Oh, no way, we already have a reputation for being a fluffy ship, so angst is very good. :)

[applecede]

I was wondering about that, actually! I used to read a lot of D/Hr, not so much anymore, but for some reason, I mainly came across angst. In the D/G, there's a lot of smut :P

[mellafe]

Ohhhhhhhh, that was... unique. Wow.

I was reading the comments and since you're compiling a D/Hr list, I wrote a little something like a month ago, here. Just sayin' the ship is not fluffy, even though it's not MY ship. Hee.

[applecede]

Thank you! :D

Actually, I'm not compiling a D/Hr list :P I was compiling a D/G list, but that's mainly done for now. Curious though, what is your ship, if not D/Hr? :)

[mellafe]

Yeah, I went over it again and did a major Homer Simpson d'oh. I need new glasses. Sorry. ;)

My ship is Ron/Hermione. :D

[applecede]

LOL :D It's okay :)

Ahh, I see. Yeah, I was just wondering :P
