Well that was some read I did just now. Unfortunately I was not able to read CH.38 before I left, but I was right in my prediction as to what Harry was going to do. I'm so glad Draco came in time. The chapters after is were interesting to say the least, and for some odd reason I found chapter 41 to be adorable and depressing at the same time. (Not sure why adorable) I think it had to do with the fact that they were arguing and at times it almost seemed as though Draco was acting childish (I pictured him pouting, even though he did not at any point). I realize that the argument was the farthest from childish, but Draco was a bit unfair in the way he reacted. They both should have explained themselves more clearly, oh well.

Well, well.. that was some mighty iceberg that Ti-Draco was steering to there... could have quite easily been a fatal blow, but it's been good for those two. There are new boundaries now in their relationship that were in dire need of forming. I want to know what Draco thought of concerning the friends, after the make-up-sex obviously!!

about #43...

You know, I'm glad you did a chapter where Harry & Draco would have a disagreement
that dealt with conflicting issues. Granted there had been angst, but that dealt
with Harry wanting to lose himself to another persona, BUT, in this chapter, we have
two lovers having to deal with the fact that they can't ALWAYS be united in EVERYthing.

They will eventually have to do things separate, as a matter of fact, you mentioned
that some odd chapters back when Harry was still being 'Brian', I think. When
they were just getting the rebellion off the ground, they wanted to portray an
united front, but seen as separate individuals.

How ironic that they haven't remembered that, esp. Draco.

Hmmmmm... hmhmhmmm... hchrmhmmmm... that was quite exhilerating, Draco stepping onto the first obstacle in their relationship and Harry wielding the first argument for himself in what has to be ten years. I wonder how the two of them will work it out!! That should be a lightshow extraordinaire...

Draco appears quite shaken by the encounter with his father. Not really surprising, of course, especially since it turned out to be one hell of a curse.
Still, there is a small pattern of Draco losing his inner balance through what has happened, and his instinctive reaction seems to be a wish for more control - first wanting to have Harry to himself (not wanting to share him with his friends), then the way he goes about making love to Harry - it is still making love, but this love is quite commanding - , and finally, during their fight.

I quite liked the love-making. It was very fitting again, no romance this time, but a release for the anger and frustration they are forced to live through, besides Draco trying to do more controlling.
I find it interesting how Draco feels the need to be in complete control of the situation, except for the times when Harry gives in, without being made to. During those times Draco lets go as well.
So apparently Draco needs Harry

Sooo need chapter 44! What will Draco do? He honestly doesn't understand.

Oo, Draco didn't see that one coming. And he had this grand vision of what the future would be like.
I bet Draco will start (later down the road) not liking Metamorphosis and Harry's alternate personalities so much.
Great chapter. update!
