I haven't read everything you've written, but I've read a fair amount of your stuff, and this is one of your best. When I first saw that it was 20K was like...eh...that's long as shit, but I quickly got sucked into Harry's dilemma and Draco's efforts to Court him. This was just so authentically told and so well written. I know you say it's very fluffy, but it didn't feel that way to me. I hate super fluff, and this just felt like real romance, plausible, wonderfully uncertain and spellbounding. I loved every minute of it. And I'm so so happy that Ginny played a role in helping Draco, the ending where she cries out in relief at his admission had me crying with her and him. Really excellent, thank you for sharing it.

as always...perfect in every which way.....heh, very very good write another one lol!

Awesome...
I loved the story and the way you wrote it!

incredible

Oh how I loved this! I always seem to enjoy your writing, and this was no exception. I liked how Harry and Ginny were mutual in ending their marriage plans, and they both had secret lovers. I also loved your characterization of Draco-- confident and ambitious, while still being the Draco we all know and love. He knew exactly what Harry wanted before Harry did, and I'm a huge sucker for that.

So, all in all, this is a fantastic story, and I look forward to reading many more. :]

I enjoyed this fic so, so much.

A very good fic to end 2008 with. Thank you :)

Absolutely brilliant! Great pace and nicely thought out. I love the open-ended quality. I'm still not quite sure why Draco would suddenly up and decide to court Harry but I think Harry's thoughts and reactions to it and to the wedding were bang on. It seems so like Harry to build his life around pleasing everyone else. Of course I saw Ginny's little affair coming a mile away but I would probably hesitate to cross a mother like that too if I thought I could get away with having someone else do it for me. (Mrs. Weasley was utter perfection by the way.) And just when I was feeling a bit 'ho hum' about the obviousness of it, you went and made Gregory Goyle the object of her affections. Hah! That's awesome! Draco's final dramatic gesture was not what I was expecting either. I think you made him a bit flaky in this but it's sort of endearing. Anyway, fabulous job over all! Two enthusiastic thumbs up.

Another excellent piece of writing. I love all the intense emotions you put into a story. Loved it.

This was so wonderful! Though some things were expected, and meant to be that way, you still managed to have me wide-eyed, incredulous over the proceedings. Such as with Ginny, whom it was easy to assume she was growing weary and liked someone else, but then you come out with Goyle. And then that last thing. Goodness. When I read "stark naked" I could have died. I couldn't laugh, I was just struck dumb.

The gifts were awesomely described. I do like the effects of the cloak, much better than I could have imagined an enchanted cloak to be like. The ring, Harry gave (the strand of hair was sweet) was too fantabulous. I love Harry.

Although this was well over what a one-shot would normally be, I do wish I could have seen Mrs. Weasley awaken or recover, but I do understand that that would be something she needs time for. While one would figure that she would force the wedding on Harry and Ginny out of grief and tiredness from the war, I found it interesting and good that you made no mention that Harry thought she was just trying to use the wedding as a distraction and hope for normalness.

This was entirely adorable. I enjoyed this immensely. Wonderful peice.
