Notes: I did it. I actually did it! Before I go about thanking everyone who made this possible, I would like to mention that this epic tale has survived twelve rewrites, a complete mental breakdown, a home move and a city wide internet blackout on the very last day. Against all odds, it happened and I can’t tell you what it means to me to see it up here.

First and foremost, my thanks goes to appleling . She outdid herself with this brilliant, fantastic and utterly delicious prompt. As a mod, she has been a goddess- supportive, kind and wonderful. She survived my first breakdown and made sure I made it through and this is all her. As a friend, there are no words. Thank you, darling for being just so wonderful. This is for you- my longest story till date. And I hope you enjoy it, should you ever get through it.

Hugs and unicorns also go out to to blossomdreams for her overall loveliness, brilliant beta-ing and amazing reliability. If it weren’t for her, this fic would not have seen the light of day.

Lastly, my cousin who is sadly not on LJ, and wishes to remain anonymous. This angel sent from heaven underwent a gruelling weekend of spell checks, corrections and last minute freak outs. She made it, as did I. And here is the result before you. I love you, M! Stay golden. And to everyone who reads this, thanks again. You’ve been wonderful to me so far, and I love every one of you. Please treat my little story kindly, I know you will. Cheers!

Summary: Draco Malfoy is every suitor's nightmare. His brazen temper and absolute disregard for the personal safety of others has his father in despair. Enter Harry Potter.

Oh wow. This is one of the nicest comments I have ever received and it made me all fuzzy inside *tingles*

Thank you for liking this entire circus I concocted. Harry, Draco, Blaise, Ginny, Lucius and Andromeda are amazing characters and very difficult to do justice to. Thank you for liking my take on them. This lovely prompt practically wrote itself- I just put it all together.

And you have made this entire story worth it with your lovely words. Thank you so so much! <3

Cheers :D

oh. my. god.
it has been ages since i've read a fic that good!
the only critique i would have really liked to have seen the reconciliation scene where draco forgives harry after much groveling on harry's part. the epilogue did give us a happy ending which i thought was adorable, but i just felt like where the story cut off before then left me kind of hollow .-.
but seriously though it was awesome! especially the courtship, my heart was aflutter<3 and there were definite funny moments too! great job ^_^

[dracogotgame.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

Hmm, I agree that would have been fun- I was actually considering it. But then the ideas kept coming and it pretty much turned into a fic of its own. Perhaps I will write it separately, yes? *runs off to plot*

Anyway, thank you so much for this lovely comment and for reading!

<3

Aww! This was such a lovely comment to come home (from the hospital) to. Thank you! *hugs* You should know, this totally made my day! After the long and depressing stay in the hospital - I needed this. Thank you!

.... and I meant what I've said in my comment above! I genuinely adore your brand of cute com-rom! See, you totally CAN write long fics! And long rom coms at that! You should write more rom coms!

[dracogotgame.livejournal.com]

Haha...this is all on you, honey. Remember waaaay back, when you asked me to write a long fic for bottom draco? Well there you go! Thank you so much for reading and I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Cheers and love!

OH WOW. I don't know how I missed this one the first time. All of your work is witty and fun, but this one is AMAZING. Great job!!!!!

[dracogotgame.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much :)

[syntelehetetlen.livejournal.com]

This was amazing, I love you! Though I should hate you really because instead of writing my thesis I am reading this Iammeltingintoabigpuddleofgoobecauseit'ssofluffy goodness. ^^

[dracogotgame.livejournal.com]

I live for delaying theses! *victory dance*

PS: Your icon is love. LOVE, I say!

[syntelehetetlen.livejournal.com]

Well, you've done a pretty good job delaying mine. XD *hands over giant cookie*

Yes, Draco ROCKS those Winnie the Pooh footed pajamas! *nods fervently*

[twistedm.livejournal.com]

This was positively wonderful. I have tears in my eyes and I stayed up far too late to finish it and now I have to go rec it to friends before I can go to sleep! I loved it.

[dracogotgame.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much ^^

[appleling.livejournal.com]

Sorry for the late reply. This comment got buried under piles of other comments-to-be-answered in my email and lj inbox. Thanks for the concern *hugs you tight* That was very sweet of you! The hospitalization was a bit of a scare but I'm okay now :)

[shonamukhi.livejournal.com]

OMG..I LOVED IT..I LOVED IT SO MUCH..MUICH BETTER THEN THE ORIGINAL ONE..OMG..WOMAN,HOW CAN U DO SUCH MIRACLES..*_* *groveling at ur feet* I WORSHIP U FOR THIS..*_*
ahem..forgive me for my enthusiastic fangirling..BUT OMG I SERIOUSLY LOVED IT..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
BUT I WANNA COMPLAIN FOR ONE THING..WHY THERE ISNT ANY NC-17 SCENE HERE..i mean atleast a honeymoon scene *pouting & acting like a 26 y.o brat*
oh well..but all the fun,romance & tit bit of angst & the happy ending MADE UP FOR EVERYTHING..<3
DRARRY FOREVER..<3

*blinks*

Wow. That was AWESOME! Thank you so much *enthusiastically joins in fan girling*

Ahem, about the NC-17 thing, that's my bad. *raises hand sheepishly* I'm still kinda new to writing intense slash and sometimes I just don't get sex scenes...right. They just sound so... awkward when I put them down in writing. And some writers here, hot damn! *fan self* They can write slash like a fine mofo. My genres are usually fluff / humour with just a dash of snogging. I do write some NC 17 stuff, but I'm still kinda shy about it.

Getting better though, so bear with me!

I absolutely love you for this comment. Thank you so so much! <3 all around!
