Definitely, very much my cuppa. :)

I really enjoyed this glimpse into their relationship - not just the chains (though hee! chains! *g*) but at the fracturing of what might have been a good relationship before the war came and ruined things. We saw in canon that things were very horrible for the Malfoys and it's great to see that played out.

What a wonderful surprise, thank you so much for writing it! :)

Hey, I'm so glad it works for you! I'm still not sure I like what I did to Lucius here, but I find him really hard to get a handle on. Ah well. I'm glad it was evocative of the right things at any rate!

Cheers, and you're welcome! :)

Oooh, I really like that!

[onehundredmoons]

Thanks! This was a challenge!

Love what you did here with the Malfoys. Lucius is excellent: he's a real man, oblivious to the gravity of the issue and thinking that sex can solve any problem. And I love Narcissa's reaction. Brava!

Ah, now see, you've made me feel better about this. At first I thought I wasn't cutting Lucius enough slack in light of DH, but then couldn't bring myself to be any more sympathetic to him than this. Thanks, Lee!

Both Narcissa and Lucius are great here. Really.

Sorry to eavesdrop, but this is so perfect a comment I had to second it. I think there's a lot of room for interpretation in this relationship, and I like the way you see it here. Well done! Maggie

Ooh, brilliant Narcissa, and this is a lovely extrapolation of what we see of the Lucius/Narcissa relationship in DH.

(Also, you officially = ♥.)

[onehundredmoons]

Thank you very much! Narcissa really intrigued me in DH, so writing her was a bit fun here. *g*

(And thank you!)

Oh, wonderful. Trust a man to think about sex in such a situation. *shakes head* I love Narcissa with some spine.

[onehundredmoons]

Heh, men. My initial vision was Narcissa standing up to Lucius, and then rest just fell into place. *g*
