Notes: My thanks and never-ending love and adoration to my beta team of C.C. (FF’s WriteSprite) &
nutmeg_44 for their hard work, for not telling me that version one sucked (even though it did) and for telling me that this one is great, even though it might not be. I also send hugs & thanks to
appleling, whose nuzzles, cheering, and pompom waving were always perfectly timed to push me through my procrastination! Also, thanks to
dracogotgame for the fantastic prompt, and I hope you recognize a few bows to your excellent writing here! ;)
Summary: Harry is tired of dating men who try to make themselves whatever they think he wants. After another bad date, he comes across Draco beating the hell out of his cheating ex’s Porsche. Now Harry knows what – and who – he wants, but Draco’s guarding his bruised heart in a very Malfoy way.

Date: 2013-03-07 04:51 pm (UTC)My favourite line by far "...Potter just came in to meet his Auror club looking like his best friend died. And I know that isn’t it, because Weasley was there." It's always a nice surprise to see a bit of wit in fics. Thank you for sharing.

Date: 2013-03-07 08:25 pm (UTC)For a second there I thought Narcissa knew all along XD You can't trust those Slytherins, can you? ;) And she was just playing along because she knew this was going to happen. lol I'm still not ruling it out!
But really, great story. I loved how Harry kept, well, messing things up when he was trying to be suave. lol I love Draco, vulnerable but so feisty! XD

Gorgeous, brilliantly funny and amazingly hot <3

Date: 2013-03-08 01:38 pm (UTC)The characters are what brought this fic to life! Pansy was awesome! And so was Narcissa! Harry was the perfect smitten suitor and Draco was the epitome of cuteness! I thought the characterization of each character was really good! They feel so canon! I love the whole sweet rom com feel to the fic too. I was smiling from the beginning of this fic to the end! I enjoyed reading this very much :D :D
P.S. Aww! Thank you for the sweet note ♥ *glomps you*

Date: 2013-03-09 07:26 am (UTC)I’ve heard you have a large…not going there.
“Pansy Penelope Parkinson Pucey…” (This I confess, nearly killed me- damn, why didn't I ever think of putting her with Pucy- that's gold!)
Draco: I had a great story planned about how his wand couldn’t expecto my patronum and everything. Pansy: “You think anyone would buy that? That is one fit man. He could expecto my… (Have I mentioned that I LOVE your Pansy :D)
I deserb ip,” he mumbled around his mouthful before swallowing. “Orca said so.” (Oh GOD, you're killing me XD XD XD)
Anyway, my rambling aside, you my darling have just WON the universe. Thank you for making my humble little prompt so brilliant. It's astounding how much I enjoyed it- except not really because it was effing fantastic. Cheers all around! Now excuse me, I have to read this again :D

Date: 2013-03-12 03:04 pm (UTC)My favourite line was "Let’s face it, Potter has ‘spouse, house, 2.4 munchkins and a crup’ written all over him.". So Muggle and wizard at the same time! Great work.

Lovely fic.
Ps. Loved your Pansy and your Narcissa (:
