That was really beautiful, really fit the card well.

Thank you so much! It started out completely different (a story about Harry and Draco and their two children), and somehow morphed into this. Glad you liked it!

*sigh* So much happy fluff. I really love your description at the end when "summer rushes into" the house - it makes it sound like they'll be this content and happy forever. Very nice!

That was the effect I intended- I definitely see them as a couple for life! I'm happy you enjoyed it.

i like the concept that their love could change the home. works well with 10 of cups. v. nice.

That's exactly what I hoped would come across! Ten of Cups was an interesting challenge- luckily for me, the interpretation lent itself well to fluff, and the agricultural symbols on the card made me think of fruit,growth (of the relationship) and fertility, all of which could potentially translate to H/D. I'm happy you liked it! :)

Oh, I loved it. I've had this tab open for over a week isn't it, trying to get a free moment to read and enjoy this. *sighs happily*

I think that image of Draco wanking while wearing his Quidditch gloves will be with me for a while...

Now if only summer would come to us here. I almost cried when I saw it snowing last night, but this morning, even though it's only 40, it's all gone and the birds are singing like crazy. Spring at least must really be here...!

You loved it? I didn't think this would be up your alley. But I'm so thrilled to hear that! And I have really been enjoying this fest and the interesting ways people have responded to each challenge- it was a great idea.

And yes, looks like spring is here.. sun's out and everything, and I just went to get iced coffee. I missed the snow last night, thankfully!

I may change the title of this fic, so don't be surprised if it's suddenly different....hope that's ok.

You can title it whatever you like! It's your story...

And yes, you might consider this fluff bc of the lack of angst, but it was free of saccharine and schmoop, which are the things that make me vomit. ;)

Well, luckily I found some great betas who don't hesitate to kick me in the right places whenever I veer off into schmoopy territory. :)

I'm so happy you enjoyed it! My aim was to show Harry and Draco's love as a force of nature and source of fertility. :)
