Those are thoughts for another time (the way her blood dripped out over the table, the way it left indelible stains that lay beneath our plates at dinner later that night). I purse my lips, blowing kisses at the mirror, and fluff my pale curls.

I love this juxtaposition of horror and beauty!

Thank you!

There's just so much I love about this story. I honestly tried to quote you back my favourite bits but I couldn't because I might have well copy and paste the whole thing.

The part about Draco removing his makeup and thinking something mundane had replaced the Angel.

The part when Neville tells Harry about the curse and Harry wants to feel Draco again, and imagine their baby and run his hands down Draco's body and thinking Draco is his.

The part when Draco feels safe when Harry holds him from behind.

God. I could go on and on.

I loved that you tied the romance perfectly with the mystery and the Auror action. I find this hard to do, but you did wonderful.

I loved the ending. My romantic heart thanks you for it. :)

I loved it, loved this story so much!

This comment flail is AWESOME. I've been wanting to say thank you, and then we started talking and I wanted to say it MORE, and I blushed when I reread this comment after you (correctly) guessed that this was my fic. Thank you so much!

I am so happy that the romance and mystery tied in well; plot is not always my friend, and I have to work hard for it! Knowing it has come across well is really nice to hear.

And the end... I had to give it a good end! They needed one!

Thank you again, and I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

Well, I liked this rather a lot. There's just something about genderbending and mpreg, isn't there? Whew!

This was nicely paced, entertaining, and all sorts of hot. Excellent job.

[tryslora]

Genderbending and mpreg are two of my favorite things to write. I'm so glad I got to work with both of them here!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the story.

I do not know why this has only 8 comments. It's amazing. It's an incredible journey and story and I'm big on life bonds and MPreg, so that makes me love it even more. I love your Draco, and how vulnerable and yet internalized he is, hating to lose that control. Neville's letters to Hannah were lovely, too, and I was glad that Pansy wouldn't set out to hurt Draco that badly. I wish I could be more coherent, but I just had to say how very much I loved this, and I look forward to seeing who you are so I can read every H/D you've ever written. :)

Thank you so SO much. This comment, especially coming in when it did, meant a lot to me. I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for your lovely incoherency, it is incredibly appreciated.

This was a real gem!! I loved the characterizations and the way the POVs shifted to round out the story.

[tryslora]

*blush* Thank you so much! I'm so glad the structure worked to complement the story and not distract; that's what I was hoping for! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
