Wonderful and heartbreaking, this is how it describes it best for me.

I like the way you use seasons and the colors and connect them with their very own meaning to Draco and Harry.
And the pictures you use to tell what is happening convey the feelings so good it doesn't need any big emotional words to let me just feel what is happening with and inside Draco.

Thank you for this.

I'm in love with all your stories. They make me think and see the world in a different sort of light. Thank you so much for your writing :)

wicked...completely and totally wicked. it sent shivers throughout my body and I just can't help but feel, just feel...simply amazing.

Wow!This was so powerful and moving and touching!Draco's pain is almost palpable,and everything is written so well.I never read first person POV, but I'm happy I read I even have half the skill that you have, I would be very happy.

your stories are rapidly becoming a bottomless vat for my tears. oh how this wrenches my heart! the skill you possess is undeniable, but mine is not, and i am spent.

this story was just intense. you just have a way with words and it was beautifully written. i could feel draco's pain and i really hope harry gets better.

i like how draco never kissed anyone else on the lips . . . it was really interesting.

any chance for a sequel? great work! :D

oh my god. this is so poignant and...and...sad. but hopeful, in a slightly depressing way. beautiful.

i adore the last line: "I have to believe that autumn is not all about dying."

-

yes, autumn can and does symbolise death, but i think that winter would be more proper.

-

also, i thought that Draco should have been stronger than how you peotrayed him. yes, he was away from Harry for a long time. yes, he can break down occasionally. amd yes, he can feel weak after all that time. but, i think that he shoudl hav been stronger and not break down and cry though it did give a bittersweet cuteness to the story.

-

i also like the fact that Draco saved the kissing of lips for Harry alone. that was sweet in it's own weird way.

-

another great story

Wow

So beautiful.. another one that almost made me cry.
Winter will come and we will rest in white stillness. The snow will cover our bleeding wounds. They will heal, and in the spring we will re-emerge, naked and new and shivering.
Perfect. Heart-wrenchingly, soul-shudderingly perfect. And so absolutely touching.

Beautiful and haunting and perhaps one of my favorite characterizaions of Draco to date. Written in a very Mafoyesque manner, cool and refined, with flashes of heat and intensity that are characteristic of Harry. I especially loved Draco's restraint until he saw Harry, and his need to focus his feelings so as not to shatter and hurt Harry more. And Harry...so strong even in the end, just beautiful.

*eyes go amazingly wide* I really, really like this story, alot. Really alot. See, I can't even put exlamation marks because I like it so much.

oh, lovely, LOVELY fic... fluffy bunnies and pillows for you! _

Well, thank god for the Armchair challenges, is all I can say! ;)They always seem to produce wonderful fics, and this one was no exception - What a story, Penguin! Such a wonderful exploration of Draco's feelings and emotions.

-My home is beautiful, but it lacks the very essence of a home. There is no one to share it with. My agenda is full, there are journeys and meetings. My rooms are filled with valuable belongings. But my heart is empty; empty except for those flashes of green and gold-

The sense of bleakness conveyed by this was so moving - grey and depressing and hollow. And yet through all of it,there were the flashes of colour, contrasting vivid colour. I think that that's the aspect which remained in my head most strongly when I finished reading this - the colours which combined to make such incredible images in my head.

Your style was very intimate. Almost conversational, I suppose. Draco seems to be speaking to you directly, telling you all these intimate things in the most offhand, blase manner. It was almost disconcerting for a moment.

I do wonder if you are going to continue with this, or if it is just a stand-alone? Much as I would love for you to explore their relationship further (perhaps a fic for each season? _), I think that this is complete as it is.

Once more - I loved it! Great job,
