This was just amazing and wonderful and heartbreaking in all the right ways. I loved all the flashbacks and all the brilliant little details you worked in throughout this. The coffee in the spice rack, and all of Draco's sketches and how Harry was the one to encourage him to pursue his art, and how it took them time to work out how to live with each other and then longer to work out that they wanted to keep doing it.

I loved how we get the middle of the story first with the end of the bond, and then the beginning is revealed in bits and pieces while it builds up to the end. And how at the end Harry doesn't even know Draco's address so he calls in all the reinforcements, and I was so glad when Draco himself walked in. The ending was just wonderful, lovely job! <3

Thank you so much! I'm thrilled that the timeline and pacing of this story worked so well for you- I really didn't want to write a bonding fic from start to end. It seemed so long and...well, long XD

I love that you enjoyed the references to Draco's art and all the coffee (which snuck itself, in there for some reason idek).

Thank you so much for such lovely words <33
