Thanks for your thoughtful comments--although there was a plot to the story, the characterizations, by far, were the most challenging and difficult part for me, especially Draco, as I'd never tackled him in fic before.
Although I didn't address it, I like to believe that the three of them remained close, although I picture Draco being whole enough to recognize and commit to his own 'soul mate.'
Glad you enjoyed the story, and thanks so much for taking the time to let me know.
