I didn't expect that this story would conclude so quickly, though, I guess, the arc is almost over. I look forward to seeing what happens next. :D

Every chapter brings tears to my eyes. EVERY CHAPTER! But can you explain to me why chapter 6 brought me to tears, arousal and tears again? My poor broken Draco, how I hate to see him like that! I adore this story however, thanks for sharing Softobsidian74's gift with all of us!

What a powerful chapter Emily! My heart broke for Draco in the beginning, his need is so palpable and just raw. Finally, Hermione begins to let the ice chip away a little. She's allowing herself some real attachment and showing some affection, albeit it on her terms and only when he's at the end of his rope, so to speak. The kisses and touches to his bruises was almost romantic after what she's put him through. And I love that she cares enough to warn him of the danger of them taking it to the next level. I love that he thinks of her so much, and that just thinking of her is enough to keep him going. Draco returning to her door every weekend and waiting despite her absence is deep. I suspect that Hermione trying to put distance between them out of concern for him. And the fact that he knew that eventually she'd let him in again means he understands her and their relationship in a way that never had to be explicitly said. He loves her...I love the moment he realizes that. It's heartbreaking and just fucking powerful that this "love" is enough for him after all of the bullshit in his life. When Hermione finally allows him to enter and gives in, you had me clapping. The scene with him finally getting his "prize" surpassed erotica, it was almost spiritual. It was so intimate. It seems that they definitely have a new understanding about what this relationship is, and I'm happy for him in a way. I hope that in the conclusion of this fic, he's allowed to continue to keep coming back to give her pleasure. I'm not going to lie, I'm worried the Snarry fic I'm writing for you won't even come close to being this oustanding. But I'll try because this is such a kick ass dramione you've written for me : ) I'll admit that your rare depiction of male submission in a het D/s relationship has given me pause, and caused me to rethink more than a few things, and for that I am grateful. Thank you, love. ((((((()))))))

OH my OH my I am always robbed of any thought or coherent words from your chapters and this one took the cake. BRilliant.

I hadn't realized that you posted these latest [three] chapters. So much of this story feels so surreal. To see someone as proud as Draco acting like that, it is strange and interesting. I'm quite hooked onto this story and where you continue to take it. It was surprising to notice how long it took until she touched him, even her first blow being administered through paper. His continued degradation and his lack of understanding of the why he was doing this is absolutely enthralling. I'm also curious if any of the children have a role in this story. Wonderful job so far.

no offense but i am somewhat creeped out by your story. only ask u that u show more of Draco being a lil bit more of a man and not a complete coward. Show at least some part wher he helped out in the war or something and doesnt remember it or something along those lines. This is just a recommendation and it is completely your wish to follow it or not. However I would strongly recommend u do so because u have an amazing style of writing and posses a lot of potential to improve the plot. Again this is just one person and if i have offended u then i am extremely sorry :D.

I love how complex, how twisted his thoughts are - I love how tight you keep the perspective, so we can only guess at what Hermione's thought are. I love how you keep the reader waiting for more of a relationship, but you don't give it to us . . . yet.

Heavy chapter...Draco is almost broken it seems, but not quite. This has moved beyond absolution I think... Is Draco falling for her...like really falling? And how will that work itself out for him? The scene where he's begging and can't seem to find words under her demand felt so real and raw to me. And the beating was brutal, but it seemed cathartic for him. His need to bear anything for her really is profound. But, I had to LOL@ Hermione's cracks about his dubious charms and penis. Boy she's cold lol. But then again, so was he, and that's the original point of their agreement, isn't it? I love the way he's openly adoring her regarding her as magnificent and glorious... and how comfortable he is kissing her feet. And she allowed him to stay overnight. Yay, she's not completely heartless, in fact, I think she's developing some feelings for him. I caught that bit about her running her hands through his hair...there's a degree of power in submission, I wonder if she's trying to guard herself from enjoying him too much. I can't wait to see what happens when he comes back and they resume. Love the realism and edge of it all...once again, great job Emily, thanks and update soon!!! :)))

I LOVE it! this story is soooo intense. I like that it follows all the books and im also enjoying a humble malfoy. Please give me more! :D

Very nice. I love BDSM but I'm much more in consensual stuff like this than into some of the other stories you wrote, even if I can't remember one that isn't good.

Heels are a sign of power? Odd, I never realized that. I guess I finally understand why some totally stupid, stuck up women in my company insist on wearing high heels, even if they don't look any better in them, on the contrary. A matter of opinion, isn't it. They don't even realize they have become a joke.
