I enjoyed this so much! It's nice to read a refreshing story written by such a talented writer.
I liked the pacing, but I would've like more showing than telling. The moments were still sweet, but I found the explanations of how things came to be rather explanatory and felt that it dragged for a bit. You had me feeling all these emotions and it went away during those moments.
There was so much on Hermione's 'friends' and Harry's betrayal that I think that chapter on Hermione's life needed some closure. Just how Draco's journey to find her and make her his began and ended, so should the issuesrounrounding Hermione's friendships. There are some stories that end perfectly, teasing the readers enough for them to want more, yet giving them enough to be satisfied.
I was also surprised that Hermione's "Marauder's Map" didn't make a comeback (perhaps, I read too quickly). It would be difficult to make one specifically for Hermione as they have none of her belongings, but didn't anybody wonder how she knew? Did Harry et al go through the pensieve? (I do apologize if I skipped anything.)
And Crookshanks.. where's the kitty? Got me an orange kitty as well so I'm always on the lookout ;)
Luna rocks in that scene, btw. ;) She was great.
Thanks for writing, I truly enjoyed the story and I hope you write more. ^_^

Em, Thank you so much for writing this fabulous fic! I haven't been able to find a remarkable fic like this for a long time. Now you've totally refresh my D/Hr passion. The last chapter made my eyes watery. You've started an intriguing journey for both Draco and Hermione in the beginning. Every detail of their thoughts, you've articulated impeccably. I especially love how you transformed their names with the adaptation of ancient literature. I'm in awe of your beautiful creation. I hope you'll continue to write D/Hr wit your brilliant mind.
Yours truly,
C.C.

Em-
This is just a wonderful story. I especially like the showdown when Draco arrives to talk to Harry. The way you weave the Shakespearean elements together is very inventive.
Great smut, tender affen, cn, cute little kids, costume ball, Sensitive!Darco & Hurt!Hermione - this has EVERYTHING!
Great fan fic.

This was sweet and fluffy and filled with wonderful insights thrown into the mix. I particularly like the relationship between Draco and Narcissa, as brief as it is. Harry is a wanker and Ron was a prat... but it's nice to see that Draco and Hermione could meet 'out of time/place' and just be themselves... together.

You talented, talented thing!
I can't even... gah. So lovely. From the angst to the fluff to the sweet slow build-up....
To the extremely hot sex-scene. I can't believe that you managed to make that so hot by contrasting it to "nice-but-not-fantas bed bedroom antics between Harry and Hermione... I was gasping for breath just reading this.
The Cunning Use of Flags... that's from Eddie Izzard, right? Right? (Do I get a cookie?)
That was also very hot, by the way :)
And then you made my day by writing that gorgeous fluffy ending.
It's no wonder you're among my favourite authors.
