Many chocolatey thanks to shatter_glass who whipped this thing into shape in record time, to luzmaria8 who said "mm, oranges", and to maryavatar and tarynw who helped me with my Brit vocab. All remaining errors are mine, woo hoo.

Happy Christmas, everyone! <3!!!!

Very often I feel the sting of hurt while I read something angsty like this, but it's a very rare occurance, having tears trying to make a break for it. All that pain on Draco's end- broke me. I'm telling you.

I really loved this whole piece. From the desperation of Draco, to the missing of Draco by Harry, to the touch of hands on stomach to warm fingers... Beauty verbalized right here. That's what this is.

Love ya to bits, ZS, and a very Happy Christmas to you too.

could i possibly love this any more? i'm thinking it's not likely.

the whole hand-tummy moment there was absolutely, perfectly breath-taking.

oh, i don't even know what else to say. i just want to revel in the warm, sweet, slight lingering sadness of it all. beautiful.

ok, now i figure i should admit that i'm back here for the third time this morning. and now i'm especially enamoured of this:

The urge to speak comes and goes. Draco thinks it's the end of year syndrome, the need to talk about things that have happened-messy things like regret and what ifs and what might have happened-and the desire to make overly optimistic plans for the coming year.

god, it's so perfect. meep

I followed a link over from bonibaru, and had to comment. I really enjoyed this.

H/D isn't my particular ship, so a lot of the time when I see it in a fic my reaction is along the lines of "eh, whatever," but I really, really enjoyed this -- and I could see it, and it made sense to me. :) Very well written.

Thanks so much for sharing!

:D I'm glad you gave it a chance, and I'm even more glad that you enjoyed it. Thank you!
