	This was haunting and beautifully written. I love how the ending is one of hope and how they managed to get peace from each other even in the darkest days of the war. (Reply to this)

WOW. That was FANTASTIC. I love love love your characterization of Narcissa here; she's just so REAL. I also love the characterization of her and Lucius' relationship, how she hated him at first but then came to love him after they lost their first child... and then how that came full circle at the end with the pregnancy. Gah. Just beautiful. One of my favorites of the season, definitely.

	This is GORGEOUS. Absolutely beautiful characterization. All three of them were so real and fabulous. And the ending made my eyes prickle. Strangely enough I had forgotten Snape was going to die, so when they were at his funeral it really hurt. I really enjoyed this. A very, very nice fic. Great job. :-) (Reply to this)

How much do I love this story?

First of all, I adore that you wrote real love into the relationships of the Malfoy family (including Draco). And jealousy and betrayal and everything in between, because they're real people with human emotions, no matter how odious their politics.And that Narcissa wants Severus at the same time as she wants her husband? And that half of Severus' motivation is class-issue based? And that Lucius wants, but that wanting isn't enough after all that time in Azkaban? All perfectly believable.

And god, their anger and love and fear and wanting, all bubbling up and spilling over, because these people are just too damned exhausted to keep any of these feelings submerged any longer....exactly right. And, oh...the little clutch in my heart when Severus left Narcissa's room...and then the ending, and yes, I cried (sad and happy all at once), because at least Severus had had a time to be happy - just a little - before it was all over.

Thank you so much for my gift!

	This is one of the most compelling, satisfying fics I've read all season. Characterization, plot, a full-circle story—everything works fantastically well! I particularly admire the seamless way in which you meshed canon with fanon—and your brilliant, flesh-and-blood Narcissa! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Amazing story. One of the season's best. Great characterization and while it was a bittersweet ending (because of canon), I felt at peace, specially for Severus and the Malfoy's sake. Hope it is a girl :P (Reply to this)

	Oh my, this was just amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed this. So well done. So poignant. I totally understood where Narcissa was on this. And wow, it was scorchingly hot, too. (Reply to this)

	Oh, how sad and passionate and, somehow, loving, which isn't something you often hear about in re: the Malfoys, but it fits here. You did a lovely job weaving new canon into an enticing fic. Brava! (Reply to this)

wow, this was awesome. i'm a huge fan of malfoy love, so to have the family together was awesome. i LOVED the image of draco sitting at his father's feet, and then later how lucius commuicated by squeezing his hand... its so quiet and powerful, and i really felt the love between them.

and while lust isnt really something i'd assosiate wif narcissa (i hate narcissa/ anyone-other-than-lucius!! HAHA!), i really loved how complex you wrote her. i didnt always like what she did, but i really GOT why she was the way she was and why she did it. and that's awesome.

	This is fantastic. I love the depth of emotion and complicated love in this, and the tangle of love and friendship and betrayal and desire. And Severus ceding to Lucius at the end was so ouchy and yet perfect. (Reply to this)

Oh, that was incredible!! I loved every word. Didn't hurt that it hit about a thousand of my kinks, starting with the infidelity and continuing with the M/M/F threesome, of course. ;) But really, it was the writing and the sense of deep emotion and connection between all three of them that made this so good. I also loved Lucius's initial anger at Narcissa's affair - nicely realistic! Great story.

	I should honestly read more of Severus with females... So very good, this fic! I must definitely not forget to check back some day to see who you are, lol, so I can make sure I checked all of your work! Thanks for the very good entertainment! Very believable! Spikey (Reply to this)(Thread)

	This was incredible. I love the tension and the dynamic between the three of them. (Reply to this)

	Absolutely wonderful. I loved the canon compliance and how you wrote all three of them and the dynamics between them. The sex was so very hot! And the last part was really moving. Fantastic story. :-) AriadneElda (Reply to this)

	OH dear god. I am all about the Lucius/Severus/Narcissa and I rarely see it in a way that works for me. But this... I teared up a bit as I read it, and then a few minutes later, just sort of choked and bawled with it. It's my Ot3 for pretty personal reasons, and this, somehow, touched all of them. Great job.

	That was lovely. My only criticism is that I kept getting caught on the repeats of "bottom lip." I think leaving it as "lip" a few of those times would have been smoother, even if it left it less precise. (Reply to this)

I set this aside to read on a day when I would have time to really dedicate myself to reading, and I'm so glad I did. This is beautifully done, and rushing through would not have done it justice. The sex is hot, of course, but I really love the way you use it to explore their relationship. The details of the supporting relationships -- with Draco, Bellatrix, the house elves, the Dark Lord -- rounded out the story nicely and gave it a lot of depth. And I loved the hopeful note at the end.

	Lovely. Narcissa was fabulous, Lucius excellent in his damaged and very human state, and Severus' rough edges were, mm, good stuff. Gorgeous story and incredibly sexy, too. I can't remember whose rec I followed to get here, now, because I've seen this linked more than once! -ships_harry on IJ. (Reply to this)

	Incredibly hot and well-written, especially in terms of characterization. I really liked how you closely you followed canon (that aside about Lily was a great detail). I'm going to have concur with violet_quill in saying that this was one of my favorite holiday fics this season. Good job! (Reply to this)(Thread)
