Ooooo that was excellent. I can't believe I didn't see most of that coming! You actually surprised me with the Masked Lady and with how they were going to fix things and I didn't see Draco raising the dead and now I'm just gushing. I wanted to hit Ginny so bad through that. Hermione too. Ginny I could understand acting stupid with her relationship with Harry because she didn't want to bring things up blah blah, but I would like to think Hermione is smart enough to either see that Harry's not happy or see that Harry needs some better direction and focus, especially in relationships. And that last battle thing with Andromeda was just... wicked. I love Harry still fighting no matter how much she tortured him because he couldn't let anything happen to the kids. And Draco holding himself together in the closet while still being able to fake breaking. That was just as excellent.

The dreams were a great temporary solution to their problems It was brilliant. But what I really liked was how you didn't have their first "real" time perfect. You pointed out the imperfections that make it real and not porn. Tripping on robes, clicking teeth together, all the little things that make it more realistic. It was just fantastic.

And I love how their relationship isn't perfect. They lose so much when they just get along and everything's happy. Those two are way too stubborn for that sort of thing and I love how you keep to their characters. I love how you do that in all your stories. You're just the best.

thanks so much for this great fic! It is so different and fits perfectly with that cursed epilogue. It has been a long time since I have read one that I have enjoyed as much as this one. Loved it all, the crypt solution was absolutely out of this world brilliant. The children were a great touch of reality, but didn't take over the story as I have seen happen so often with the epilogue compliant fics out there. Your Harry and Draco were just so human, loved the final "luv" scene with the comments about the differences between real life and the dream sex. All in all I would place this in one of my top 10 favorites.

Lomonaaeren,

God you know how to spin a good yarn! I began reading this late last night, and before I knew it, it was almost 2:00am...my eyes felt like peeled onions but I didn't want to stop reading. You have done a masterful job of creating a canon-compliant extension of JKR's universe peopled by appealing and believable characters trapped in a plausible situation with tight, crisp dialog and an incredibly ominous and sinister atmosphere...I can't wait to see where you are taking this.

Cheers!

I have just started this story (no idea why not earlier), and I wanted to tell you that I really enjoy it. I'm only at Chapter 5, but I'm completely hooked and love reading. And, well I have a theory about what's happening and I can't help but share it with you. *grins*

I have the sinking feeling that you (or, well, the book Draco was reading about Life-debts) haven't mentioned Time-Turners just by chance. I'm sure that will be important - time I mean. Maybe these dreams Harry has are not just dreams but visions of what could have been had he made different choices in his life. And maybe this Life-debt thing offers him a chance to change it all - or at least to see what he is missing. This "fading", I think if they let it happen they would be sucked into this different reality where they are a couple. So it would make sense that only the memory of their children holds them back because they wouldn't exist in that different reality and also that could be why Harry suffers less, his bonds to this reality are stronger because he has a good job, friends, and a good relationship with Ginny, while Draco only has his son.

I'm very excited how this will turn out and if my theory is correct. I'm curious what else you came up with and how this ends for Harry and Draco. I'll definitely keep reading. :D

It was interesting to see the "real" epilogue through those eyes.

I have to run, but I wanted to say thank you for the story. I'll have a new one posted this weekend (hopefully), if you want to check it out.

Ohhh! The epilogue was perfect where you incorporated the epilogue from the 7th book. Absolutely amazing!! I loved this story, every minute of it. You did a fantastic job.

I definitely encourage you to write more.

Congratulations, And happy holidays! :)
