That was so much fun!

James made me laugh. That little speech 'breaking it' to Harry and 'nerd-wear' was so funny! But the whole familiar dynamics were amazing, funny and warm. I adored the boys, Al and Scorpius. Scorpius was so much fun to read. And Al dressed up like "Harry Potter" was super! The whole story was, and Harry and Draco's conversations were brilliant. Lovely story. Thank you!

OMG, that was so much fun! I loved how original this was, how the question of sexuality was dealt with, and it was so enjoyable! I've loved it! :)

Hahaha, I loved this so much! Cosplaying Al and Scorpius ftw! I really enjoyed Draco and Harry bonding over exasperation and trashy romance novels and your Draco was truly delightful. Scorpius constantly putting his foot in his mouth without even noticing made me laugh so hard. Great job, thanks for writing this <33

This was such a wonderfully fun story. I loved the cosplaying, how Al and Scorpius interacted. And I loved Draco reading gay romance books and being utterly unashamed to be seen in public with it. And how he and Harry slowly bonded over how they had no idea what the heck their kids were geeking out over.

I just adored Scorpius in this. His wearing dresses, his exasperation with his father, the way he just sort of blurts out whatever comes to mind with no filter between his brain and his mouth. Wonderful, wonderful work on this. It was highly enjoyable and I was smiling through it from start to finish. :D

This was wonderful - I love the interactions between Albus & Scorpius and their 'elders'. So much fun to read! And Draco and his romances, hilarious (as was Harry's sudden need to borrow them:)

I really enjoyed this! I don't think I've read the Next Gen kids involved with fandom, before, but this worked really well. I enjoyed Scorpius' choice of outfits, and Draco's well-meaning assumptions about it. The kids were really cute together, as, of course, were H/D.

Thank you! I didn't know how the kids being involved in fandom would work out, but I liked it in the end. I'm glad you enjoyed the story!
