I have to say that this is a particularly heart wrenching fic. Draco is a bit selfish and he is so repulsed by Harry's deformity that I wonder how he will deal with Scorpius. I wonder if it will be Scorpius' scars that allow Draco to see past Harry's. Can't wait for an update.

poor scorpius! he's too young to have to go through all those trauma. he'll have harry with him, but what if draco took too long a time to come to term with scorpius condition? it's impressive, the way harry took charge of things so naturally, and for him to be draco's pillar of strength given the sudden panick situation that arose just moments after he decided for an ultimatum the next day. the bright side is hopefully harry's motivation for finding the miraculous cure be doubled many times over (coz he's hero for the good of others thingy?).

Oh my god! (It seems like I can't start my reviews without the traditional mention of god. lol.)

But that.. that was really, really unexpected. I was so shocked! Poor Scorpius! Bloody hell, Draco will go through hell. First, his love. Then his beloved son. And for his lover he might not be able to accept yet, but how can he not for his only son, Scorpius?

Wow, I feel so sorry for Draco now. It'll definitely be too much for him, but Draco has his own strength. I'm sure he'll be able to struggle through and live with that, with acceptance. And maybe, through Scorpius, he will learn to love Harry's physical, too.

I'm seriously loving your storyline. I can see how Draco's going to learn from all these. It all makes sense.

Keep up the amazing work, you!

Ahhh, and I forgot to mention one thing.

I've always, always, ALWAYS loved your Harry Potter. More than the real Harry Potter, most of the time. And this chapter just made me love him more. He might not know how he did it, but he managed! He always managed. Only Harry could handle Draco at terrible situation such as this. It just showed us how Harry completes Draco's life. Now, hopefully in the future, Draco will show us how he could complete Harry's life in return, which he has yet to do. Be strong for Harry.

Also, despite the horrid accident, (God, I still can't get over what happened to Scorpius.), I was still warmed at the fact that Draco chose to go to Harry above all, it showed us how huge a part Harry still has in Draco's life.

Maybe in treating Scorpios, they may find ways to at least help harry, like with his bad leg or take enough of the scaring away that you can see some of his old self peeking through. One good thing came out od Draco and Harry's seperation. They have Scorpios.

I just stumbled across this and began reading it as I've read several of your other works. And all I can say is: Wow!

I do like how Draco is the master of denial and thinks that obviously everyone else must not be seeing things in the correct perspective. I also like how he has come around enough to fantasize about a life with Harry wherein Harry still carries the scars he now has and not the pre-tortured Harry.

I can't wait for the next chapter. Thank you for writing this. -- L

Jesus Christ. Of course Draco would be tested by a marred Scorpius. But he can't be that cruel to turn Scorpius away... right?
Ugh, what an emotional mess. Perhaps now Draco will understand that real beauty is inner beauty? (cheesy as hell but whatever)
Keep going!

Alright. I was already sympathizing and understanding Draco a bit more since he first started thinking to himself about why he was upset. I love that he understood and "forgave" Harry for what he said [even if Harry meant what he said on some level]. Even more than that, that he didn't neglect and forget about Harry's hurt about the "monster" comment.

I thought that Harry pinning Draco [again] using his obsession with perfection just because Draco didn't want to admit that he drooled, was a bit much. Although, he is of course understandably hurt and tired. To be honest, I thought that was cute that Draco didn't want to admit that, even if that wasn't the appropriate reaction.

When I read that Scorpius was hurt, I didn't really think to much on it. But jeez, you dunk him in fire? I have no doubts [I had a small one when Harry thought bitterly on it] that Draco would never abandon or hate Scorpius because of his scars. Actually, I'm more worried that Scorpius is going to wake up, see himself, and think that his father will hate him because Draco "hates" Harry [of course Scorpius knows Draco's true feelings in an abstract way].

I'm super glad that Harry wasn't going to go with the decision to do the metalwork at home. It would feel like hiding and running away, something he deserves, but he deserves closure more, if that is all he going to get. Question: Harry said he'd wanted to make sure Draco didn't want him to stay only because he was sure a cure was available... Isn't that exactly how it is? Is Harry just hoping again with this comment, or am I missing something? Draco hasn't contemplated the possibility of no cure, despite the fact that Harry's been walking around scared for years. Although now they might have to find a cure for Scorpius as well. :(

Although Harry seems to only becoming increasingly bitter as he tries to find closure, my heart totally went out for him in this chapter. Him asking for support was so completely sad.

To end, I completely loved this line: "Lucius wept without tears and Narcissa without sound." I'm not sure what else to say about that to be honest. Wonderful job with this chapter. I look forward to how you handle the characters now.

I am totally enthralled with this fic. I like a good, frothy H/D story as much as the next person but sometimes I'm in the mood for something more dark and substantial. I love the psychology of the situation--Harry loving Draco who has made no bones about the fact that Harry is repulsive to him and Draco battling his horror at Harry's outward appearance while still yearning for him. It is very telling that, despite his distaste for Harry's scars (and what they represent to Draco in his mind--Harry not putting him and his desires first), Draco reaches out to him first and insists on putting himself in Harry's path repeatedly. I also appreciate the way you have managed to get them so in character. Draco is spoiled, abrasive and determined to get his own way but is still very much a victim of things outside of his control. And Harry is brave, strong, oddly hopeful and determined to once again face whatever his life sees fit to throw at him--on his terms. And by the way, Scorpius is in serious danger of stealing the show! I love him! He's positively Slytherin in getting what he wants--Harry Potter! I can't wait for the next chapter!! Hurry Up!! ^_^

You made me cry!!! How awful for Scorpius! This chapter was very deep and there were several lines that stood out as poignant. Your writing always leaves me thinking and you have such a excellent grasp on the psychology of your characters and the human psyche in general that it makes these people very real and their pain and joy very palatable. I understand everyone's point of view in this story. There really aren't any villians, not even Draco. I love that Harry and Draco both recognize they had something that can't be ignored and that Draco was trying to picture Harry lounging, albeit with his face turned lol.

And that last line: It had me tearing up! Harry deserves that at least, someone to be strong for him.

I loved this especially: But the reason I love Draco is that he
