Heh, I had never thought about video games being like Imperius. (There is a Draco in my head, now, who is very excited about the prospect. This is a Draco with significantly less trauma than yours here.)

[khasael]

It was something that just randomly hit me (I am no good at video games, and sometimes it surprises me just how easily the skill seems to come to others).

I could see a Draco of yours excited about this :)

That was lovely! Thank you for posting, one thing I am curious about though. What killed Lucius and Narcissa?

[khasael]

Thank you!

And I know the answer to that question, though it's explained in an upcoming sequel. For now, we'll say that the stress of the war and danger to her family aged Narcissa before her time. Lucius's demise was...more sudden.

[hitsuzen_hime]

Then I eagerly await your sequel. =)

Bravo.

This Icon is a Hint for the Sequel!

I demand more. That is all.

Love and kisses.

Hehehe. Such a subtle hint!

There are 2 sequels. Next bit is from Harry's POV, and is done, short of being Beta'd. Third installment is still in the works. You never know how much I could be influenced... Or hell, there are my other H/D universes that are still in the works :)

I love your icon!

And Khas? I echo Mathsy's hint ^_^

Oooh, the pressure!

If not for this series, then for another soon, I promise :)

Oh, very lovely. Something I really enjoyed about this was the fact that you didn't need to make it NC-17 to make it really good --- the emotion took care of that.

I'm also very much looking forward to the sequel -- would it be all right if I added you to my friendslist so I'll see it when it comes through?

[khasael]

I am so happy you enjoyed it! There will be two sequels to the series. Looking for a Beta for the second story now, and working on the third. You may certainly add me!

[tariana]

No pressure, but I do some beta work from time to time. My major in college was English Literature, so I like to think I know a little about it. :)

Anyway, can't wait to read the rest. :)

[khasael]

I'll keep that in mind. Second story is already in the hands of a Beta, but if there ever comes a time when she's unavailable for a future fic, I'll need a pinch-hitter :)

(Also, one of my majors was English (emphasis in Creative Writing, though I did a lot of the lit focus). Yay, English Majors!

Ahhhhh!!!!! What an incredibly beautiful story!!! I love how tentative their relationship is and Draco's guilt-ridden state. (I just want to cuddle him, but that's Harry's job!). So many little things add to the loveliness of this... Narcissa's muggle, picture-garden books, Draco's scarred fore arm, Harry's blushes.... it's so sad, yet hopeful and lovely!! I'm so happy that this is just the start of series, I can't wait to read more!! :D

[khasael]

Thank you very much! I'm quite glad you enjoyed it :D
