This one might be my favorite. It was such a clever plot.

I love the way you plan your fics. The relationship evolves at the same time as the plot does, making the whole thing more interesting. And the whole arc, from the beginning to the ending, is evenly paced with carefully laid plot twists that are both expected and suprising. With you the reader knows what (s)he gets and can just sit back and enjoy, because (s)he knows you'll deliver.
I love how realistic and believable your stories are. You put so much effort into them, I can't help but to love you for it.
And the way you write! It's so logical yet filled with emotions. Even though your plot twists are entertaining and exiting, I can't help but to look forward to the times when Harry and Draco finally get each other because those moments are so filled with emotions I just want to wrap them around myself and revel in them.
All I can say is: You are amazing!

you know what? i take back what i said about draco's type of love. it seemed like that at first, but during the last few chapters it really transformed into something warm and fuzzy. i like it either way, though. your way of conveying relationship dynamics and all is so very well done. great work!

i've got to say, i'm really liking your version of the draco/harry relationship. i like how draco's love for harry seems so possessive it has the potential for being dangerously destructive, yet he still manages to find a balance and turn that creepy possessiveness into something protective and, well, i wouldn't call it warm or fuzzy, but it definitely has some type of strong loving feeling to it- that characterizes draco;s character well (at least, the draco that you portray). and i've got to say that you have talent with cliffhangers. you should publish something someday!

I cannot describe how incredible this story is. I have read a LOT of fanfic, I'm actually embarrassed to think about how much, many thousands of stories. I have never been so frantic to get to the next page. You really kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat.

I did notice that you have completed quite a few stories, I'll have to go read those now. Cheers!

I absolutely adore you. That was a perfect story. Let's see: to start from the first, I myself tried to guess with every work Harry spoke how people would twist it, and yet, you did a great job of surprising me (although the way they reacted was disgusting) alot of the time. To be honest, when Harry had given in mid story (of the sequel) to his affections for Malfoy, I had thought that the story would die down a bit with that frustration, a central theme, gone especially so judging from your first Veela story. But after those chapters, I was grinning every moment at the deeper development of their relationship as well as Harry coming to strength. I enjoyed what happened in justice to everyone, and was a bit surprised and glad for Ginny's attitude. That totally blew my mind especially in consideration of the evil Ginny from your Arguer story. When I heard the minister's punishment, I wrinkled my nose and connected with Draco on some level. Harry made good justifications as to why it was more horrible than it should have been, but the moment I read it I thought it was far too tame. lol I was very glad for Draco's strength in fighting against the curse and the minister's spell (obliviate). That was wonderfully written. I kept fearing that once Batty was gone, she would go to the minister and relay that Harry was in Malfoy Manor, so that she could do what she thought she should be doing: guarding Draco from Harry. I kept expecting that, but I'm glad you didn't go that route. Overall wonderful story. I enjoyed it immensely.

Another amazing story. My heart really went out to Harry and nearly broke when Draco was Obliviated. You did such a good job playing with the reader's emotions. The soul piece humming in response was just cool. Your description's amazing, but I said that last time. What all did I say last time... hmm... I was worried when Draco sent Batty away since she knows so much. I didn't consider how loyal she would still be to the family. I also think you were right that Harry shouldn't just forgive Hermione and Ron. After what Harry's been through, he really couldn't just start to trust them again. Gah, and all the tension leading up to the sex. I don't know if I should give you a cookie because it was so good or if I should kick you for making it take so long. It was great sex though. Damn good. I really love Draco marking the back of Harry's neck and how that got Harry through his time with Scrimgeour. I was actually proud of Harry when he kept poking that and kept his promise to not hurt himself. Ah, so many other things I loved. I hate coming in and trying to do a whole story.
