OH MY GOD. I can't believe you wrote this WONDERFUL 30K FIC for my prompt! SERIOUSLY. Thank you for sticking with it even when it refused to be written! I'm really touched by how much effort and time you put into this one ♥

Now on to the fic!

WARNING: Overuse of capitalisation and crazy flailing ♥

Harry tried very hard not to think about how this was the last time he’d be hearing that voice. *sniffles* Thank you for writing flangst for me. This gave me ALL THE FEELS. And that whole scene with Draco having to leave! HARRY AND DRACO OMG THEY ARE MEANT TO BE. And AHHH THE BOXES. I love how you made such a simple thing so poignant. And the end of the scene omg T_T

I love the little details about coffee being a spice :') It seems just like the kind of thing Draco would do.

Aww, curse-breaker!Bill makes a cameo!

POOR HARRY. YOU DON'T WANT TO DIVORCE DRACO. DRACO DOESN'T WANT TO DIVORCE YOU. GO BE HAPPY TOGETHER FOREVER.

PANSY! Pansy will save the day <3 Gosh I love Pansy throwing out the bait and seeing if Harry will bite.

There was a blatant honesty in Draco’s work. It took getting used to. It was like everything he couldn’t express in words or actions came out in his sketches. Wow. This held so much.

The scrapbook. Is inspired. I loved the flashbacks in different POVs!! Harry and Draco sniping at each other was hilarious! AND THEIR WEDDING VOWS! Hahahaha <3

Oh god. The two of them learning to live with each other is absolutely hilarious. HAHAHAHA I totally cracked up at that image of Draco Blasting all the plates so that Harry would have no choice but to wash the plate that was in the sink. SO INSPIRED. And OH GOD. How that kitchen tussle ended was so full of delicious tension ;) And THE PICTURE. (I have such an uncontrollable urge to see all the pictures right now.)

And he definitely couldn’t confront Malfoy and tell him to stop licking spoons and being so bloody tall and slim. HAHAHA. I'm really loving the slow build of tension here! AND OH MY GOD THE ST MUNGO'S SCENE. *sniffles*

Gosh I love the slice-of-life scenes so much.

THEIR FIRST KISS. Was so many ways perfect, I loved it so much.

OH NO THE BOND D: IS GONE D: D:

The bond was gone now and there was no time left. This almost made me tear. SO MUCH.

OH GOD OUR BOYS DANCING AROUND EACH OTHER. I seriously teared here. OH MY GOD.

AND HARRY'S FRIENDS SAVE THE DAY ♥♥♥ Blackmailing!Ron <333 I love your Ron so much! “I can harass International Affairs some more,” Ron offered, flaring up the floo as he spoke. “Oi, Anderson! You still there?”

ONLY HARRY AND DRACO COULD END UP ARGUING WITH EACH OTHER AGAIN! *whacks both of them with a baguette* So much love though! <33

Aww, Bill/Pansy at the end! Yayyy!

This was so wonderful. I loved it so so much. Having Draco only appear in flashbacks for much of the fic made that feeling of separation even more stark, and it meant so much more when he finally came back to Harry at the end of the fic. And seriously, the sex was hot! You could really feel all that frustrated tension.

This was lovely dear. I really have to thank you once again for bringing me on such a perfect ride <333 *glomps and huggles forever*

Oh gods, I love you so much for this! As I mentioned before, I have been squeeing over this comment ever since it was posted!

*coos and pets*

I am so glad I could write this for you, luv- even though I'll admit at one point, it seemed unlikely. But it happened, yay! Thank you for such kind words and for being so lovely.

*hugs*
