Sexual humiliation, controlling and abusive behaviour; these are red flags for future abuse. Don't romanticise it.

Hi, i read it 9 years ago all story in one day instad of studying to test and cried myself to sleep, (i read the last chapter just the next morning so all the night my heart ache for both of them!) And yesterday i remembered again of this great fanfiction and read it again... I think its one of the best stories i read ever and i really sad its already behind me...
Thank you!

I loved this even more on the reread! amazing!

I've read this story dozens upon dozens of times over the years and am still in love with it. I hope that you keep writing, whether it be original or fanfiction, and that all things go well for you, no matter what. Thank you for sharing this with us. :)

This is one of my favorite stories ever! It's pretty perfect :D

Hi! I've just finished reading your entire story, and I have to say that it's absolutely AMAZING. I've been completely hooked for two entire days - my chores and work were all neglected while I guzzled it up!

I do hope that you keep writing D/G fics - I love the quality of your writing and the riveting plot lines!

I loved this. You have no idea how happy I was when I realized that Ezra wasn't dead. That was the only thing keeping me from really liking this. I hated that you killed her off. At the end of the last chapter I was so crushed. I didn't even want to read the epi b/c I didn't see how they could ever be together. But it all worked out and it was beautiful.

I know it's been forever since you wrote this, but I flove D/G and this is one of my all time favorites.

"Not mine. J.K. Rowling and a lot of greedy publishers own them. Warner Bros. has a piece of the pie now, as well. But really, folks, let's face it - J.K. is never going to finish things up at this rate, so it's fallen upon us, the humble fanfic writers, to continue her epic tale as we see fit. (And if a time comes when she does actually finish, I will happily apologize for ever having doubted her in the first place. ::doesn't hold breath::"

She finished it ;)

I read it on portkey but I can't add review in there I don't know why ;( and I came to find this story in here so I can review it, but I see that it has lower rating in here and it doesn't contain my favorite line from this story, but I'll put my review anyway:

"I just want you to love me"

this sentence literally killed me... I was hoping that he would say something sweet but this... ;.;

I love this story sooo much and the ending is BRILLIANT, so freaking brilliant :D with Ezra's fake death and that Danae wasn't really Draco's child... ehhh just love it all *hugs you* :)

thanks for this great journey full of tears and goofy smiles :)

Dear Jade,

I know it's been nearly a decade since you wrote this story, but being the writer I am, I like to think that even learned, established writers such as yourself enjoy the pleasure of once in a while receiving a review from a lost soul who has had the fortune of stumbling -albeit so late- upon your story!

This was beautifully written, I can't express it clearer; your writing is so poetic, your characters so well-developed, their dialogue witty, completely believable (despite the fact that this was my first D/G fic-I was very apprehensive at first I admit, I'm more attuned to D/H) and Ginny's diary musings so easy to relate to. And your R-rated scenes, ahem, I noticed that you never once used explicit vocabulary during these scenes and yet you managed to describe fully the tension and heat and chemistry and longing between the two. Gah, I am at a loss for words here. But yes, even if only to reiterate what previous fans have said before, this was a brilliant piece of work and an immense pleasure to read.

Much love and best of luck in your future literary ventures,

Aish

p/s: I've noticed you're from the US. While this isn't the first fanfic I've read by an American writer to pull off perfect British-English dialogue (and slipping in Ezra's American-speak at that), this is certainly one of the best, and the fact that there are a startling number of American writers who are so adept at this is rather mind-boggling. Good on you!
