Well, once again, you gave me everything that I didn't even know I wanted from this chapter - Kyle and Draco's reconciliation, Pansy and Harry finding a groove separate from Draco, dirigible plums, Ron with a man-bun (FUCK, YES!), Draco having a mild panic attack thinking about Hermione nursing in front of him, planning their rooms at Hogwarts... I thought I'd be really sad that this story is coming to an end, but the way you have written it makes it feel like it's time. And although I'd be lying if I said I was ready for the story to be complete (even if there is still an epilogue in the works), the little pocket of this fictional world you've expanded upon and brought further to life is so full of such rich, emotional, and touching moments, and I've so enjoyed being along for the ride. 

I also wanted to commend you for incorporating ideas from your readers into your story, and doing it so seamlessly. I would imagine that you have a pretty solid idea of where you are going with the story, and how you want everything to flow. So when you have people throwing wrenches in there by asking for specific scenes or scenarios, I can imagine that it could get rather clumsy for some writers. But you seemed to have no problem addressing these requests, and if anything you use them to your advantage to enhance the story further. I never expected you to touch on all of the things I had listed a while back regarding Harry's perspective in certain parts of the story, but you have acknowledged just about every one of them - before the epilogue. 

Well, I hope that your move went smoothly, that you're settling into your new house, and that your epilogue just falls effortlessly onto the page. I'm looking forward to reading it - as always. <3

This chapter took a couple hours to read lol. But it was full of a lot of important scenea that needed to happen. I love how everything flowed together so well. Im very sad to see this story come to an end but happy because ill get to read unstoppable still. I love reading your stories probably more then i like writting my own. I cant wait to read the epilogue. I hope it will at least have flash backs of a wedding if not the full wedding and maybe one or two children? Hehehe. Jk anyway you write it i will still read it and still love it.

The flu is a b**** and hit my family so im still writing my next chapter.

I've fallen in love with this story & am so happy each time you post. I love the evolved characters you've given Harry & Draco, as well as the OCs you've created. I'm sad to see the end coming. Please don't make us wait so long for the epilogue! (I'm hoping for flash forwards involving Raisie, or further ahead to children, but the ultimate would be a Harry-Narcissa meeting - I realize you pretty much just gave that angle closure though.)

Perfect, simply perfect! Really emotional and I loved it all. 

I can’t wait to see Draco meet Ron and Hermione but I do hope we get to see Harry with Pansy as well! 

Waiting eagerly for your next instalment!

I have been sitting on this review for about a week now because everything that I thought and felt about this chapter was very personal and deeply emotional - I'm not exactly sure how much I want to disclose, really. But let me say this... Wow. 

I ponder this story during my quiet alone times and I'm often left feeling a great sense of longing. Your story shows us their strengthening connection to each other over and over again, and it's like a fairy tale that doesn't feel like a fairy tale - it feels possible (if that makes any sense). And the smut isn't just smut for the sake of smut - it keeps evolving and getting more intimate, and you can see the connections there, too. 

I don't know - you continue to touch me with your words. For some reason, I connect to this story very deeply, and I want you to know how much I appreciate you for giving me that gift. I look forward to your next post.

Another great chapter! I like that you gave Draco the chance to help Harry through something difficult, since before it was always Harry helping him. And Draco handled it really well, even though he probably wanted to throttle Harry’s aunt at times. It also seems to have brought them closer, like they are totally open to each other. I think without Draco to support him Harry would have had a really hard time with his uncle’s death, not to mention a lot of guilt and confused feelings.

 

I loved what you did with Snape! It was classic with him in all his snarky glory. I can imagine the sneers and glares. It was a nice touch to have Snape panic when Draco mentioned Lilly, like he thought Harry told Draco that he was in love with her. Do you think Harry will tell him? Snape is one of my favorite characters, so thanks for writing that scene! While Snape may hate Draco and Harry being together I bet portrait Dumbledore’s eyes are twinkling like mad :-) 

 

I’m really looking forward to seeing how Draco will interact with Ron and Hermione. There is just so much baggage between them. Though if Harry can forgive Draco his past, then surly Ron and Hermione can as well. I hope Ron will be mature about it and not let his temper or his Slytherin prejudice get the best of him. Not all Slytherin’s are bad! I was sorted into Slytherin on Pottermore thank you very much. Do you think Draco will just come right out with it and apologize to both of them? Especially to Hermione for calling her a mudblood all those years. I think she will appreciate that one of Draco’s favorite students is a muggleborn Gryffindor that reminds him of her. Ron would probably get a kick out of how horrified Snape is about Draco being in love with Harry. Come to think of it so would Harry and Hermione. I’m looking forward to seeing more of Pansy as well. I think she and Harry will actually get along really well. They both seem the outgoing friendly sort. I was also wondering if we might see Neville again.  

 

I’m so sad this story is coming to a close, but I can’t wait for the next chapter! I hope we get at least one more smut scene!

Yay!!! Smut!!! Lol at least a little bit. I cant wait for hermione and rons chapter and say in this relationship. In all honesty i thought it would be narcissa that had passed or was about to. I really like how you wrote all of the dursleys portion though. It really fit. Will we get to see a responce from narcissa?

Yay! Ive been thinking about unstoppable for a while now and how you might write some of the chapters but then again i think its going to go one way and it goes a totally different way that is so much better then i expected. Cant wait for your review!

Sorry I haven’t reviewed in a while - life has been super busy but I’ve been reading and absolutely LOVING it! The way he asked out Harry was perfect and the date was out of this world - I love that Draco met Teddy and how they are both sharing their feelings and communicating now. Super sad that you’re nearly finished with this one because, honestly, it’s been brilliant. Thank you for keeping up with the story, I eagerly await your next instalment :)

I really admire writers. My kids will occasionally ask me to make up stories for them at bedtime, and I cringe because it's hard for me to pull a story out of thin air. But you - you're able to imagine these beautiful things and then find the words to describe them so I can see them in my own imagination, and it's nothing sort of miraculous to this analytical brain of mine. I admire you in the same way I admire JKR in all honesty - you both bring to life stories that I want to step into and live in. 

So that's my way of saying that I loved the date, I loved Draco's heart in a box, and I appreciate from the bottom of my heart the emotions that you gave them in this chapter. I can't understand where those ideas come from, but man did I just adore them. I love that you're taking their reconnection slowly, and savoring the small moments that they might have missed the first time around, but we could tell were really there. 

I am sad that this story is coming to an end, but I will definitely be going back to this story over and over again. I have tried to read other fanfics while waiting for you to release more chapters here, but they are just not as well-written as yours - you take your time to tell the whole story - you don't just rush to an end point and I REALLY appreciate that. You definitely have a special talent, and I can't wait to read more from you - free or paid, because you have shown through this story and your others that it's worth my time and money. 

I don't know what else you have in store for us with this story - I'm learning that it's better to let you paint me the picture than to try to imagine it myself - but I can't wait to read it. I've said it before and I'll say it over and over again - thank you.
