I've been staring at this one a lot since you first submitted it (since I got to look at everything first! ^_^) and I just love the poses, and the emotion that comes through each one. Draco sort of clinging, Severus and Harry both a little possessive/protective, Severus adoring, and poor Harry, still sleepless after whatever debauchery knocked the other two out...

Gorgeous picture.

(Fest mod stuff: I'll move it to our own server when I get back from Fla. in case it gets TOS'd off Photobucket. Can't seem to get at it from here, or I'd have put all art there to start with anyway.)

	What beautiful composition/arrangement of bodies! It's perfectly relaxed and natural looking, and i know that can be an awkward thing to get right, when it's a threesome. Also, so very tender! Great work! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	This is really rather heartbreaking, but in an absolutely beautiful way :). I feel like just staring at this picture for a long time can be a fanfic within itself. Lovely work :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That's a lovely complement of picture and words. The portraits are fabulous (Snape and Draco's profiles, and their hair,and Harry's pensive expression). And the story speaks to Harry's fierce protectiveness... gaaah. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Wonderful! I love the way Draco is clinging to Harry, Severus content (for he first time ever perhaps) wrapped around Draco with his hand on Harry's thigh, and Harry shouldering the responsibility of protecting them. Excellent work. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Lovely drawing; you've caught such a sweet, relaxed mood, but with Harry still watching over his 'family'. Contentment is expressed in their poses; Severus' body looks very young, though. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	This is so emotionally amazing. Draco and Severus' poses are great, but it was the expression on Harry's face that totally blew me away. It's so deep and thoughtful. Great work! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I've had this open in a tab in Firefox since it was posted, and have come back to look at it more than once while it waited for me to have a spare moment to type this comment.

There's an entire story here in the image and the very small amount of text. The way you have them posed and the intensity of their connection and their touches come through so very clearly. Very nicely done.

	That's so hot! The way they're draped one over the other, especially Snape spooning behind Draco, guh. Really, Snape's thigh between Draco's is just - there's something incredibly hot about it. And Draco's face is gorgeous. Beautiful drawing! :) (Reply to this)
