Taunt is to tease or provoke someone. Taut is stretched or pulled tight. This the second time you've used the wrong word in this particular case. There are many mistakes where you use the wrong word. I think this is the second story you wrote. I sincerely hope you are doing better now. You really should fix the mistakes in this one.

I don't know if you read your chapters after you've typed them, but you have a lot of mistakes where you used the wrong word. For example, leer instead of lure and feel instead of fell. It's really annoying. I like the story. It's not too angsty as you seemed concerned about. How boring it would be if every story was just happy fluff. I'm not done reading this story yet, but I am very caught up in it. Please continue writing.

I've come very late to the party, but I wanted to tell you that I LOVE this story. I was so glad it was complete by the time I read it. I absolutely love this Draco and everything about it.

Awesome job! Loved it!
Yeah.... I suck at being a consistent reviewer but I happily devoured every update.
I really hope you keep writing--
you have a very descriptive style and go deep into psychology/feelings/character motivations
that I really like.
Look forward to seeing more from you!

I swear my muse needs to be kicked more often. The newest chapter was just about done, but I felt it was too short and needed to add something in there and then couldn't think of anything to add. I have been reading and I love this story. It is sad to see it is almost over. I can't wait to read your next one.

Ch. 23 - I loved the flashback with Luna and Neville helping out Draco. It was nice to see that and I laughed at Neville being oh-so-happy to kill Nagini. I mean he seemed to be ready to start dancing to kill that snake. I kind of wanted to dance and laugh along with him. Draco's outburst in this moment is really beautiful because it shows just how much Harry means to him completely and how lost he is when Harry is gone. A sweet kind of vulnerability from Draco that I love in this story. I KNEW IT! I KNEW Bellatrix was still alive and still just as insane as ever. I love Harry's passion in mentioning that Draco was not a Horcrux and making Draco listen to what he had to say. I think that was another defining moment between them to be able to say those things and to have that moment even with everything that was going on.

Ch. 24 - Obviously Bella is quite insane at this point. I do like how she doesn't seem to be herself and yet insanity is already what they know of her. By that I mean that she seems to have lost it beyond her usual insane self. I like how Draco chose to fight the darkness within him, and at the same time almost seemed like he might of succumbed to it. The way Draco went back and forth between panic and confidence was beautiful. I like that he managed to deal with it and break free. Those two are so wonderfully good together. It was nice to see how supportive they were of each other during the fight until Draco went after Madam Safiya. I think it was a very nice moment of how Draco got into Safiya's mind and explained everything from his perspective. It was nicely done and explained how she could fall so far and want to end his life. Why she hated him so much and why she failed to complete her plan.

Ch. 25 - The conversation with Caleb was very calming almost as if nothing had happened or Draco was partially repressing it. I do like that they decided to leave that place together and it was very touching to see how Caleb had given Draco that small kiss at the end. For a moment, I thought Harry would be upset, but then again it was natural for him to understand it. Oh my gosh. That meeting again with Blaise and how Blaise had fallen for Harry (still think Ron is better for Blaise :P). I love how Blaise seemed accepting, but at the same time letting Draco know to never let that chance go. I do love the part where Draco tells Harry that he loves him and all the teasing up to that. It was a beautiful very heartfelt chapter.

I would love a cute fluffy/smutty epilogue. Maybe a couple years later? :) Can't wait for the epilogue!

Whew is right!! Intense with a lot of woo woo in it. I'm glad Harry & Draco knew what was going on and how to correct it all. I certainly got all tangled up in what was "real" or what was imagined.
