The idea of Draco howling for Harry but unable to sense him was heart-wrenching, but you made up for it:) I like werewolf stories in general, and the way you made this fit in HP world was great! Draco as a wolf was super-cute, and I really like how Harry offered himself to him at the end, out of want and not for obligation. Cleo's character was really enjoyable, and I like that you paired her with Charlie. The bit about Veelas' mates was oh so sad... I read this story without a single pause, as restless as Draco... and I'm settled in the sexy fluff, now. Thank you for writing this:)

Thanks!
I'm happy you think it fits well with the HP world. OCs are always a little worrying. I'm very glad you enjoyed it. And you're welcome, writing it was a pleasure.

Excellent! I enjoyed the backstory and the weaving of canon with the werewolf/lycan theme. I also liked the twist on the cliche on creature!fic cliches. Harry petting Wolf!Draco was adorable and I loved seeing the art for it as well. Draco's emotional distress instead of pining away about not being able to sense his mate was well done. I like the slow build-up of the romantic relationship and them not jumping into bed immediately. The OC's were great, too! Well done!

Lovely story with beautiful art.

I love the way you described Draco's restlessness both before and after he learned the truth of his mate. There was an agonising frustration to it that was very realistic. I loved the way the lycans could smell emotions and how Draco pointed out that it was a mixed blessing. Really, your Draco was just wonderful with his conflicting feelings and his pack. Oh, and your OC's were great. I was so nervous and then happy for Cleo! What a great way to bring an end to the Malfoy/Weasley feud! Harry petting wolf!Draco was so sweet, especially when it turned to hotter human petting. ;) And the art of wolf!Draco was perfect.

Thank you!
Glad you liked it. I had a lot of fun with this prompt and it's good to hear that the emotions came through well. And I don't think Harry could have resisted petting Draco even if he wanted to, adorable as he was.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it and that it came through so well for you.
And Neville and Draco are adorable aren't they? I couldn't resist making them into friends once I had decided on Draco's occupation.
