Oooh, thank you, Secret Santa! I'm so excited to get Neville for Christmas! :D And I know I said it many times before but I just want to reiterate how much I love stories like this, where we see what happens after the war, both the good and the bad, the way life really is. That kind of balance is one of the things I love to see most in a story. That and something to indulge my oral fixation by proxy, which you definitely gave me as well! :D

And I have to add, I just got home from work and I was feeling just a little sorry for myself for working over Christmas, and this just made my evening so much better. Thank you!

	is relieved You're welcome! I'm really, really glad you enjoyed the story. I find it hard to write pure fluff or pure angst, so I'm pleased you liked the mix. And I'm especially glad I made your Christmas a bit brighter! :)) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	So sweet. Dear, confused, shocked Neville... no matter what he might believe, he's not the killer that he thinks he is. I want to pet Neville. Glad I got to do that vicariously through Harry ;) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Aww, poor Neville. What a horrible thing to happen. I'm glad Harry was there to take care of him. He wanted nothing more than to move faster, harder, taking Neville, making him his, keeping him safe and protected and loved. ♥ (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'm usually much nicer to Neville, but for some reason this time it wasn't meant to be. Thanks for reading! I'm glad you liked it! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	That was a lovely read! I loved the tender, calm relationship between Harry and Neville, and Neville's distress at having killed someone by accident (and even in self-defence) was very credible and in character. Harry's protectiveness was very nice to see, and the comfort sex at the end was wonderful. Thanks for a good read, mystery writer :). (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thanks, hon! I love this pairing so much, only I'm usually much nicer to Neville. I still don't think he's forgiven me for this fic. :P I'm glad you liked it! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh, Harry being so protective! You totally hit my bathing kink. And just at the end, that slightly twisted note of possessiveness in case the reader was thinking everything was all hugs and bunnies between them shiver (Reply to this) (Thread)

	coffee_n_cocoa 2008-01-06 10:07 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you! Y'know, I think you were the only one who picked up on the fact that Harry's protectiveness might not be entirely healthy, though there's no denying they really do care for each other. Thanks for reading! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh - I very nearly missed this one. I'm so glad I didn't. They go together so well. I really, really, really enjoyed the Harry-Ron friendship moment at the beginning. The shower scene - so tender. The rest is so sensual. Well done! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	coffee_n_cocoa 2008-01-06 10:08 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks, sweetie! They really do go together well, IMO. Somehow, I figured you'd like the Harry/Ron friendship moment at the start! I'm glad you liked the story! :)) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Nice job with the relationship; I liked how Harry and Ron could joke about their brown-eyed partners. (Reply to this) (Thread)
