first of all another wonderful chapter and thank you for the dedication. I really enjoyed seeing how much the Malfoys care for Draco. Right down to the toys in the closet and the intricately carved bed frame and door. I can see there will be a lot of friction b/c Draco and his father!! Draco won't be cowed! Lol. In regards to your authors note, I am so sorry that you had to experience something like that and let me just say I think everything you laid out as your goals for this story are achieved exponentially. I can totally see the contrast b/w the loving and the abuse. I remain steadfast in that I love this story. Yes the abuse is graphic and disturbing, but it is suppose to be and only makes their triumph and that they are still sane that much more profound. Thank you for what you do and I wait as always with baited breath for your next stroke of genius. :)
I am going to tell you that this is probably one of my favorite stories out right now. I commend you for bringing such a controversial issues to others attention. I also was a victim of sexual abuse. I wasn't abused by a parent teacher or total stranger. I was abused by my cousin who was 3 weeks younger than I was. But she in turn had been repeatedly abused by her father. It was how she knew to show affection. That is what people don't understand. Once abused these kids don't forget about it. It is something they will always know. So don't be disheartened by someone who has no clue of what they are talking about. Keep writing. I think you are doing a great job.
Please tell me that Draco will do something about Narcussa and Lucius because I feel like nothing good will come of them being there especially if they are treating Draco like a pawn and Harry like he is nothing. I hope they learn what they been through and that nothing they do will change what they are and their relationship. Loving this fic. Can't wait for more.
Narissa what are u doing? I hope u are prepared for the consequences if and when Draco learns about u trying to one up him and Harry but especially Harry. Can't wait for more.
OMG! The long awaited Malfoy introduction. There was so much emotion in this. I believe you portrayed them perfectly. Cold Malfoy disdain tempered by the love of their son. I can't wait to find out how they react to his prior treatment and what Harry and Draco have been through. I also am anxious to know if Draco and Harry will come to be attached to them and them to the boys.
i await the next chapter as always in suspense.
Yay! Its great to see you continueing this story! I belive I started it ages ago but in that one it wasnt Draco but Harrys half brother? Hope you keep writing :)
wooo we're getting somewhere now!!! Is Dumbledore going to be good bad or just manipulative in this story? I can't wait for the Malfoys to meet the boys!! I feel their guardian has to be Andromeda I mean Mrs. Long bottom is just crazy and would likely do more harm than good.
That was a very convenient way to skip a head. I thought it was a great chapter that got a lot accomplished and set up the next section. I went back and re-read the psychiatrist scene (which I wasn't aware you had changed but by luck happened to look back) and it was perfect. It flowed much better and was more cohesive.
I haven't felt the need to review a story in years. This, so far, is an amazing and emotional journey. I look forward to the next chapter.
Well another wonderful chapter. I found the sections on their psychological sessions a litte odd because they were o my from Laila's pov. This made it kind o awkward to read, like I was missing something. Since there was no view of the boys reactions to what she was saying or doing or verbal response from them it just felt incomplete. But otherwise you left me hanging again and waiting in suspense for you next bought of genius.
