I really enjoyed that. Well paced - it felt like you did a lot in a relatively short space.

Thank you! I'm glad that the shorter fic worked. :)

*sobs on you* I love your ability to give such depth and rawness into your fic, and how you make it so realistic. My heart really broke for Harry. Especially the ending.

And oh god, this part.

"I love you," Ginny whispers, surprising them both if Draco's eyes snapping open is any indication.

Harry feels warmth in him because this was what he wanted. "I love you. Both of you," Draco says, the second sentence almost as an after thought as he turns to give Harry a small smile.

My heart broke. Great job, dear :)

*pats your back and hands you tissues* ♥

Thank you bb. Harry was really upsetting in this fic to write. ): But I write so many poly fics where it just work and this was fun to write the other way. For them to not work and honestly, this prompt was perfect. Thank you! :)

I am still whimpering from this. You did such a great job, and I keep going back to read this story like a bad habit.

You are amazing, and you've evoked so many emotions in me, I can't even start...

Ah, thank you bb. ♥ And you can definitely pretend that Harry starts shagging their son Scorpius. I am completely okay with that (and kind of have that in my head now myself xD). :)

Oh my heavens!

Poor Harry! And I really want to thwack Ginny and Draco but I know it's not really their fault either and...just... *wails*

But I think that's what I loved most about this story. No one is truly the bad guy. They're all just people- neither good nor bad- and it's just unfortunate that Harry is the one who has to be left behind. It's a bit worse in some ways because it seems so inevitable. I hope he stops blaming himself and finds a way to move on...

*tears up again*

It was a brilliant story, darling. Just heart-breakingly beautiful! <3

Ah, I'm really glad that it worked out that nobody was the bad guy. Draco's a little... snippy but I really wanted to just make it so that they were all just kind of flawed but Ginny and Draco just fell in love and they can't really be blamed for that.

I'd like to imagine that Harry moved on eventually. But that's because sad endings make me sad. Thank you bb! I appreciate it. ♥
