That was incredibly lovely-- in particular your use of lush imagery and vivid sensory descriptions-- the smells, colors, temperatures, etc. bring the story to life in my mind. And the sex, oh my, yes!

Haunting.

Thanks! I'm so glad you liked it!

I'm afraid I always find it a little too easy to imagine Draco's clothes in great detail ...

That was wonderful. I love it when writers describe sex in flowing, lyrical terms like that. I also thought you captured Snape well, and the relationship between him and Draco seemed very natural and right.

Oh, good. I'm so glad you liked it!

Chilling, m'dear. The thought of killing 40k folks to get at Harry. ::shiver:: Strikes rather close to home, which makes it believably horrid.

And hot. I've never been particularly fond of DM/SS, but you've gone a long way toward converting me.

Beautiful use of language, as always. Never too florid, or flabbily lyrical. Lovely.

[beaming] I'm so glad!

Me either! It's weird how this one just leapt on me and demanded to be written.

I'm afraid it's scaring people off. I'm tempted to add a disclaimer: "You don't have to watch anybody get flayed or anything! Author is a fuzzy bunny! Really!"

I have to admire a story that quotes "In the Bleak Midwinter." I am reliably informed that I may have that solo this Midnight Mass. *g*

Nice!

I have boychoir Christmas carols in my car CD at the moment, and I was driving around during the editing process thinking about this icy story and listening to the little British boy sopranos, and they seemed to go together in such a creepy way. I couldn't resist them. (Plus it's not one of my stories if it doesn't have some music in it, however gratuitous.)

Gratuitous music is just fine with me! *g* (Explains why I've always liked your work so much.)

Well, I came by to thank you for filling out my fanfiction economics survey. So, thank you, but . . .

Oh! You're one of the few people who writes Snape/Draco. I keep searching and searching for it. (There's a good deal more as of this month; this time 4 weeks ago there were 9 fics, not counting a few at ff.net that were unreadable due to formatting.) I rather liked how Draco plays "gracious host." It was like "may I offer you my daughter," only better. **sigh**

Right. So. Thank you for filling out my survey. **grin**

You're welcome! It was an interesting survey, and I hope you got what you needed.

I've seen some, but not a huge number, and most of them are telling that same story where Schoolboy Draco seduces Snape out of some sort of twisted relationship with his father.

[snickering] Makes you want to go drop by his quarters, huh? Maybe it's just me.
