Summary: Norbert and Chloë are destined to be life-mates, or at least they will be, if they can just find each other. However, to gain true contentment, they have to help their respective humans find their own happiness--hopefully together. An eggsemplum on the meaning of heart's ease and the capricious nature of second chances.

To the mods: I'd like to extend my thanks for placing me on the best team ever! It's been a ~~hoot~~ roooaaarrr!!

Norbert and Chloë perchin' in a tree,
H-I-S-S-I-N-G
First comes love, then comes mating,
Then comes hatchlings in the fire's grating.

This story is one of those stories that you start to read and you just can't put it down until you are finished! Your Snape is spot-on and I love how Harry has matured into a truly admirable man! And the drakes are the pudding - a tasty morsel that adds a wonderful dimention to the whole amazing story.

You are a brilliant storyteller and I feel very priviledged to be on the same team!

	Just wow! Originally, I rolled my eyes because I'd just gotten caught up then this 77K word fic was posted. That said, it has to be the quickest read for its length that I've ever read. Er, that sounded complicated. I loved how you unrolled the years between Harry and Snape, as well as the relationship between Norbert and Chloe. Amazing and eggscelent fic! recs (Reply to this) (Thread)
