One of the best Draco/Harry stories I've read so far! I don't even know if you guys come back and read these reviews, but I definitely think it's worth it to say!!

I don't think Harry has the right to hold much of a grudge. Especially if it is mostly over school boy rivalry, and what Draco did to Dumbledore and Hogwarts. It's just pettiness at this point. Three years may have passed, but he hadn't thought of Draco's case seriously at all.
He always been overemotional.

This was nothing short of amazing! I could not stop reading until I had finished every single chapter. Your Draco was perfect, I loved it!

SHOCKED!!!! I can not get enough of this. I just pulled an all nighter and read this from beginning to end. Im so inlove with everything about thing story- it must have taken ages to finish it with all the details and such. Thank you for staying in character, so many-many-MANY stories do not and it kills me! Thanks again!!

Brilliant, brilliant story!!!!!! What an amazing plot. Truly original. The Black Tulpa, Maul, and the Gatherer and how this all began before Voldemort was even dead. Lovely. And I love the twist in the end. Instead of Harry dying and visiting the in-between, it's Draco and how he is the one with the yearning for the peacefulness of limbo. Exceptional piece. Thank you for sharing.

I just read this in one sitting and it was absolutely amazing. (thank goodness the boss chose not to come in today)
I love how draco is not much changed and still wicked but absolutely heroic and beautiful in his chosen martyrdom. I love how there was mystery and magical mayhem without being overly forced. This was just a great story and thanks for writing it!

*Just finished 29 now* That was fun! I liked how it kept flashing between Draco and Harry and Byrnes and Williams. Also, I love that you made intelligent aurors who aren't main characters and have the ability to investigate and deduce on their own! So unusual.
Have to run to work now-- I have a morning shift, bleh. I'll email and read more tonight. Have a good day...!

*Got to chapter 18 now* You know, I've learned that shouting at characters in your head doesn't actually help, they can't hear me, and yet I still try! Or start doing it out loud. When Harry was trying to get into Draco's-- er-- energy bubble, I was thinking all angrily, "Use your connection, dumbass!!!" and tapping at an imaginary scar. This is why I don't read where other people can see me, I'm too involved with chars!
Ooh, he used two wands instead-- like that idea, very ingenious. Like putting two fingers on the little plasma energy balls and messing with the energy beams. Er, sort of.
*chapter 19 now* Does it say something about me that every time you mention dust on things-- in Number 12 Grimmauld, or in Draco's old cabin in Tien Shen-- I keep thinking, "Somebody say a cleaning charm or two! It'd take you three seconds and you would feel so much better!" They're such boys. It bothers me. *laughs* That makes me feel crazy. It really wouldn't occur to Harry to clean, though, and Draco's always had maids, so it makes sense, but... well... Grimmauld gave me that same feeling in the books. "Seriously, just because it's your secret hideout doesn't mean you need to live like a bunch of night dwellers."
Chapter 21: I'm still in love with your Narcissa! Either in this or Sweet Lysander. She maintains her cruel coldness and still maternal love-- such an intriguing combination.
Chapter 22: A House Elf! One that might actually function on this plane of existence and clean things, not like Kreature! (I actually adore Kreature, the crazy little thing...). My relief knows no bounds.
Also, the UST you have building is very artful! Draco making Harry lunch was very amusing, and his stalker-like obsession with watching him eat made me smile.
Also-- that first kiss was wonderful. *giggling* Blood truth. I think I'll not picture that phrase and burst into maniacal giggles at random from now on.

Chapter 7:
"Why do you think Granger, Weasley, and Longbottom gravitated to you, Potter? Because they could just tell, instantly, that they would be life long friends with you?! No! It was because there was something they sensed about you that seemed right. They knew instinctually that if they walked in your shadow, everything would be fine. It is the same in Slytherin House. There is the Prince, and then there is everyone else."
I really like that! It's a fun point. A very good one.
Gasp! The Time Turner, I'd completely forgotten about that as well...!!!
Chapter 8:
*reads a few paragraphs in, stops to add this to the notepad file for comments* Bane... is seriously creepy. Like, worse than Mikami!creepy. Fun!
And Mettle calls Draco "boss"! That's so adorable. Good Mettle-puppy.
Hee!! Draco slammed Bane into a doorway and threatened his life. That made me too happy. I was reading with a grin and wide eyes and sat back with too much satisfaction. They have fun interactions.
"What would it mean to you if you tried?"
Draco closed his eyes and briefly saw the man with the green eyes and the tattoo etched into his own back. "That I will be alone."
"And why do you feel that?"
"Because everyone who knew me as I was either worshipped me or hated me. If I am different now, no one will trust me."
Hmm, that part was lovely as well. I'm loving this Draco, tortured and dark but torn between a desire to better himself or accept who he is. Very well-written!
Okay-- at the part at the end of this chapter, with the levitating Bane and uncontrolled magic-- my brain went into uncontrollable bursts of glee and gibberish. That's an amazing scene! Ooh, I want to draw it. And a few others. And some from Sweet Lysander... *pictures her free time next week flying out the window* Gah, I have to be careful with that.
