Wow! Ok, it's no secret that D/s is a major interest of mine, but I loved this story. Harry's need, and his uncertainty, his guilt... all rang so very true. We know less about Draco, but he's so honest in his submission, so naughty and cheeky - a really wonderful sub.

The fact that you managed to bring Ginny around, and let the three of them build something wonderful and mature and understanding together, was just delightful. That you tied it so neatly into the epilogue was simply fantastic! I can read that scene now and not cringe horribly!

Really enjoyable and meaningful read, and great use of the prompt and team!

I think Draco is a very good sub :-) I sure wouldn't mind one like him! The whole mess of uncertainty and guilt was very important to me and I'm so glad to hear it worked for you. Especially because you like D/s.

Ginny got to be very important in this fic - more than I'd first thought when I planned it. I'm glad you liked their solution to the predicament. And the epilogue was something I knew from the start that I HAD to include somehow :-) I'm so glad it made you happy!

Thank you so very much! *hugs*
