Even though you warned us at the beginning and the chapter is titles "Poison", it doesn't seem to really sink in until you've read it through. God that is hard. I can't imagine what it would be like to actually lose a child, but to watch one slowly fade away from illness or disease and to have the doctor's tell you that you'd better say Goodbye now while you can has to be devastating. I would hope that I would be like Harry and not give up hope until the child is truly gone, but the realist in me says I don't know if I would. Harry is stronger than anyone ever gives him credit for but even he has come to realize that his past has affected him in a myriad of ways he never knew. I can only imagine that Nasta will take Max to task for not being there for his children and ultimately Harry no matter what the situation, so I'm sure that will be a hard read too. Knowing that the next chapter is titled "Goodbye" and that the "Scaled Bits" can only be possible futures, not necessarily what happens in the true story, makes me cringe. I know it's your story and it will unfold as you will it, but can I start a "Save Little Leo" petition now!?! I don't know if I could handle reading that he doesn't make it since he is one of my favorites. I can only hope and if not be prepared for Harry's devastation and the damage it will do to his relationship as the other mates reel from heartache. Hopefully, we won't be kept in the dark for too long because I think the not knowing is sometimes harder to deal with than the actual event, mostly because there is no moving on to deal with the reality.

~~ Meechy

until almost the very end i thought 'oh,not as bad as i thought it be...not happy by any means but-not so bad...'
and then i was crying so hard.... i finished a pack of tissues...i don't hate you! but my heart is hurting for little leo.....

I'm surprised that you thought Max only got a slap on the wrist! It seemed like a very thorough reaming out to be honest. In any case, I totally expect that Nasta will be physically punishing Max (as you mentioned in your author's notes) since his instinct as top dominant won't allow anything else.

So sad! But hopeful that Leolin will pull thru. I know you said anything can happen next chapter and what happens in Scaled Bits doesn't mean it'll happen in the main fic... but I still have hope!

Great chapter. Enjoy your holidays!

No! Please no! Don't do this! Please Please Please don't kill Leolin! I'm begging you on my hands and knees while crying in a corner! Please don't, Please!

Omg.. Chapter 83..... I was reading it and it really brought tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat seriously!!!!!!!!

It was a good chapter even if I cried though most of it. I am now going to read something happy so I can stop with the tears. Cant wait for more

You, Star, are truly EVIL!! I don't know if I should fly through the internet, find you, and then personally glue your butt to the chair and demand that you write and post the next chapter ASAP or just sit here and glare at my monitor until I see the next update. Hopefully Leolin makes it (I love him to death, no pun intended), but I know that it does happen. I won't like it if he does, but I'll accept it and read on anyways. I won't give up on the story just because I don't like what happens every once in a while. Please type as fast as you are able and post as soon as you can. :D

Another great couple of chapters! I've been reading the scaled bits too and wondering one thing..? How do they get the kids to keep the dracken thing a secret? Much less the magic thing..?Do the use a spell? Or do they just assume people won't take them seriously? And how are they gonna hide Leolin's wings as he gets older, I mean I assume that now they're small enough to hide under his clothes, but later..? I love the scaled bits, especially knowing the main story won't go that far into the future. I sort of love how detailed you are about their everyday childrearing lives, it makes the story very realistic, but at the same time I'm sentimental for the early days of the story when they were jumping into bed every chance they got. Anyway, for however long you keep posting I'll keep reading and rereading. Thanks for posting on AO3 btw, now I can download rise in ebook format--Awesome! Thanks for the wonderful fic!

Star, I just want to say that you are an amazing author, and that was one of the sweetest fluff chapters ever! I loved that no matter if it was a uber special day for Braiden, he was still disciplined. Too many parents I find just roll over and give the child anything that they want. So thank you.

Lol, a lie down sounds really good, but before that please update chapter 83 soon ^_^
