ah, here is another one I just don't want to end, so I will comment now before the denouement, so I can drag it out as long as I want to. and I just want to wallow in this story. Every setting and subplot is so well turned that it just flows and carries me happily along. Sometimes the "we cant be together" angst is just unbearable, but here you've really allowed our boys to mature and heal in a believable way. I love how you turned cliche on its ear and have S say the Magic Three Words when he does, and how it catches H so very much by surprise. I may love you for that forever. and as someone irrationally besotted with my own critters, I adore Norbert and Chloƫ and all the articulate sounds they make, their passion and possessiveness, all their fiery dragoniness!
also, your cameos by Team Dragon compatriots makes me giggle every time.
