Notes: My thanks and never-ending love and adoration to my beta team of C.C. (FF’s WriteSprite) & [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] appleling, whose nuzzles, cheering, and pompom waving were always perfectly timed to push me through my procrastination! Also, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] 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.

I very much liked the premise of this story. I liked how you didn't bog down the story with loads of background about how Harry killed Voldemort or his divorce with Ginny. You let us know that these things happened and then the story moved on and focused on Drarry!

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.

This was sooo good! I loved the UST between them & how Draco was so guarded but vulnerable. Harry was too sweet, the sex was hot, & the ending was perfect! *^_^* Another one for my bookmarks!

Lovely! Just enough of everything - angst, fluff, and perfect sex to cap it off. I enjoyed this very much!

Hot! Hot! Hot! I loved the UST and the angst and then Draco's jumping to conclusions and trying to protect himself. It was a very cute story with a fabulous end!

That was all kinds of awesome.

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

I'm not ruling it out, either! Notice how quickly she felt better? Lol

Oh Draco... How I wanted to shake you by the shoulders! Loved the boys little thoughts to themselves about the other. "I hear you have a big client list" x)

Gorgeous, brilliantly funny and amazingly hot <3

Squeeeee! Awesome prompt inspires awesome fic! This pushed so many of my buttons from the supportive friends to the meddling Narcissa to the UST. So great! I loved Draco's insecurities and the way Harry was so giddy and persistent. I really loved this story and am looking forward to reveals. :D

Aww! This was such a delightful read! Wonderfully sweet and very lovable! I love what you did with the prompt - very fitting and adorably fluffy :D

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*

I loved this. I liked confident, sexy Harry and I must say that the knickers were a nice touch. They should totally send the pensieve to Blaise...

Agreed! Also, to us. Lol! The knickers were inspired by DracoGotGame and were a total nod to her brilliance! Thanks so much for your comment!

If I started commenting on everything I loved about this fic, I'd probably be re-writing it. Still, I can't resist quoting the parts that made me squee like a six year old:

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

Thank you so much for loving this. I was so proud to write for you and my only goal for this fest was to write something that you would enjoy. I adore you and your work so much, and I hope that you recognize some elements of homage here. I told you #50 was my favorite! ;) *smooches*

Simply brilliant, funny and sooo steamy hot, loved every word of it. Harry's definitely a 'spouse, house, 2.4 munchkins and a crup' material with his wand bursting with expecto patronums that I might have let out a giggle (or two) and draw some odd stares at work... and that smart lady Orca - LOL!

This is both adorable and incredibly hot! There was wit and angst and everything!

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.

Geez, that was so far beyond amazing!
Hot, hot, HOT! You have pretty much rendered me incoherent. And thinking that maybe it's time for a cold shower......

Lovely fic.

Ps. Loved your Pansy and your Narcissa (:
