I loved this. So much. I can't even say how much I loved this. I thought any fic that came from this prompt would be ridiculous, but it was just brilliant, and hot, and funny, and sweet, and intense, and a little bit angsty, and funny. I laughed out loud so many times while reading this. (Hermione's caterpillar nearly ended me.) Your characterizations were just wonderful, Harry and Malfoy and the bachelors, and especially Hermione! I adored her in this and how much Harry depended on her and how close they were. And how Harry kept doing things to irritate Ron throughout. And his embarrassment over everything but also his determination to just get through it. This was easily one of my favorite fics I've read in a long while. Beautiful, brilliant work on this. <3

Thanks, bb. Let's be honest, though. It's still pretty ridiculous, lol.

EVERYONE and this caterpillar! I have no idea why it stuck with so many people, but it cracks me up. Haha, Harry is such a troll. I love the idea of Harry and Ron constantly trolling each other.

Lol, that was brilliant! I laughed so many times... But it was also intense and a bit angsty. And hot! You've done a great job. I would have loved to read why Harry and Draco had sex the first time, because it was very sudden, but everything else was perfect.

Thanks, dear! I would have loved to write it but I really don't think even they knew why they had sex the first time. I'm chalking it up to undeniable UST since 6th year. LOL

Such a fun read! You had such a wonderful, light touch and just the perfect touch of feels. I loved everyone's voice. And the interactions between Harry and Hermione (and Ron! ♥ Ron!)

Really well done ♥

Thanksssss :D

This is so charming and such a great read! It absolutely flew by, and I enjoyed every minute. It was a wonderful balance between humor and *feels*, the dialogue was snappy and funny, Harry and Draco's chemistry was palpable, and I adored Hermione, who was absolutely perfect from the first to the last (LOVED her reasons for participating, so totally her and also awesome). Also? The sex was steamy hot awesomeness. I wanna know what happened in that sauna! Plus the outings were excellent, especially the sandcastles and poor Harry getting peed on (I giggled. Oh, Harry.) Also also: "Harry was, frankly, disturbed with his guess that the book represented unfulfilled Greek love between Harry and Dumbledore." and "Even Luna seemed bummed out, which made Harry feel like the biggest arsehole on the planet because even a prolonged holiday in Malfoy’s dungeon hadn’t bummed Luna out." and everything Luna had to say about why the audience loved him, which was really quite familiar

[zeitgeistic]

Aww Hermione. <3 I also want to know what happened in the sauna, but in my head it was mostly just Harry sitting down next to Draco, casual side glances, and then fucking LOL.

Ohhh, this is awesome! I love the angst and the vulnerability...and the satisfying ending :) Plus, the relationship between Harry, Ron, and Hermione is awesome.
