Oh. Oooh, this was absolutely delicious! Positively riveting and sooooo cute! You've nailed the rom-com feel perfectly! From the very beginning to the end, it was pure delight devouring this, precisely because it was such beautifully executed rom-com! I love how you've adapted the core plot of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, but tweaked it to give the story a refreshing and utterly adorable rom-com feel! I love the cheeky way you have with words! The adorable snark! The witty banter! The way there's something utterly charming about the way you weave details and scenes together to make the story flow and develop into something bright and lively and cute! I'm sorry you had to go through 12 re-writes and a breakdown in order to give birth to this uber cutetastic story - but if it's any consolation, all the trouble you had to go through was absolutely worth it because THIS IS BRILLIANT!
Most of all I love the way you develop the characters! Draco was the perfect "shrew" - and an absolutely lovable one at that! He was just the right mixture of a petulant brat, a feisty little spitfire, a drama queen and a caring son/friend/lover. He was both an absolute nightmare and a charming darling! And I love he wasn't all temper and snark and gutsy bravado either... that he was also insecure and frightened and lonely. And lovely Harry was his perfect half! Don't even get me started on Lucius and all the other side characters! Omg they're AWESOME! I love that Lucius, for all his faults (and there were many!) was a caring father and he truly loved his only son!
A very delightful adaptation of the original and perfectly executed! I love it!
P.S. Thank you for your little note. Reading it made my eyes go all watery and I just.... *hugs you tight* I'm pretty sure, I'm not all that great but thank you for thinking of me in that way. I should be the one to thank you - for being such a darling and for sharing this lovely fic with all of us! ILU!
