A real treat. I love that indeed people will never change, but can still love each other ;-). The moment when Harry asks Draco not to call him Harry is perfect.

Thank you. I'm so glad you liked it:)

That wry "All is well, indeed." quite early on in the story made me smirk delightedly, and I knew I was set for a spiffing read :)

The structure worked so well - wonderfully intriguing, and kept me on my toes :D
I loved that Harry and Draco hadn't revised a lot of their opinions of one another, despite falling in lust, and then love.

Thank you for a lovely read!

Oh, I love this. I loved how the whole thing is pieced together, and the interactions between the characters. Very nicely done.

nice working H/D romance into epilogue canon

[mizbean]

Thank you! Writing an epilogue-friendly romance was definitely a challenge, so I'm pleased to hear the story worked for you:)

Wow. I love this.

The non-linearity of the story and the snapshot structure for some of the most important scenes are part of the reason it works so well, I think. We're allowed short glimpses into the characters' lives, but not enough to make them look sappy or horribly angsty or blameworthy.

The gestures are evocative, too. The image of Draco throwing glass at Harry is one that will stay with me for a long time. And so is the image of Draco jumping him as he runs towards the hill.

Finally, I just really like the line: Divorce suits her.

A great story all around.

Thank you for writing such a thoughtful review, and I'm glad to hear the structure worked the way I hoped it would. And it may be sappy of me, but I wanted Ginny to have a happy ending too. I'm a softy at heart:)
