I really like this story. It is so different from most of the others you have written. Question though. When are you going to update A more worldly man again? I was really enjoying that series.

Haryy still thinks he's fooling Draco. Unfortunately(or fortunatley),Draco is still two steps ahead. Nice chapter. I can't wait for more.

*speechless*

...Momentarily. You're not getting out of my rambling that easily, but, seriously, wow. I knew Harry wouldn't give in to Draco's acceptance so easily but did you have to make it so painful? God, the ebb and flow, the give and take, it hurt so much. You are so teasingly cruel. Brilliant, but terribly mean and unbearably agonizing. I'm broken over it but I have faith that Draco can save himself from this disastrous future Harry has planned for him. If this chapter proved anything it's that Draco is invariably resilient and not about to fall prey to the, however convincing, lies of even the man he is falling for. Quite the capable character. I am incredibly grateful that you have taken the time to map out these characters' psyches so diligently, believably, and intelligently because their mental tete-a-tete was not only credible but expected. It always sucks when you find yourself questioning the author's intent, you know? Luckily, you have arduously committed yourself to the task of creating these personalities, the deep insight and meticulously detailed flicker of thoughts is utterly new. The originality of such fully-formed characters is what has me, almost embarrassingly so, obsessed with this story. By the way, the "hunted animal" approximation is so perfectly appropriate to this story and I find myself thinking along the lines of 'The Most Dangerous Game' because while Harry, in many ways, plays the part of the caged prey and finds himself cornered in unappealing situations, his intellect instantly and unstoppably rises to his defense and forms new plans and machinations without missing a beat. He is truly a creature worth study, and I fear that's what he's becoming as his morals and conscience fade from existence. But I can't dwell on that, he has to be okay, whole. He's Harry Potter, even if he now sees that as a burden, it's my glimmering torch of hope. I only pray that Draco has enough self-reliance, against even his own harsh appraisals, that he can hold fast against any and all of Harry's separatist plans. Thank you for this, update appeasingly soon! You're brilliant and this was heart-clenchingly amazing!

Does Harry really feel that jaded to not let Draco his life when he knows that he shares a deep connection with him? Drcao's right, something is definitely wrong with Harry. Was it the pressures after the War or the War itself or a combo of the two that made Harry this way?
Great chapter. Loving this story!!
update!

about #19...

First of all, I wanted to say I LOVED the humor with Mr. 'Pork Pie', I'm surprised
you're letting more of your funny bone 'out of the closet', you aught(ought) to do
it more. :-)

Second, I must say I am GLAD the truth finally came out, now hopefully this
can help Harry move from behind that wall he put up to keep other's away from
him physically & emotionally. Of course, with Draco at his side because he's not
going anywhere, Harry MIGHT try once they get over the obstacle of 'deceptions'.

Third, I'm glad you had Draco let go of some his anger to let himself let go
enough to decide that 'yes he does want Harry' and the connection that comes
with it.

Of course, it wouldn't be a typical Harry/Draco relationship without SOME
resistance. :-)

But, I'm enjoying how you're letting this story unfold.

I have been keeping up with this particular fic (patiently), and am liking it. It's one of the stories that I check every day to see if it's updated. I can't wait to read what you're going to do with it next. Please keep updated....frequently. Love it.
