It's been a while since I last poked around the ffic world, but here I am and extremely glad I chose to start with this wonderful story! Perfect balance of wry and flirty humor (I swear you write some of the best punch lines around) and a complex, incredibly intriguing take on the concepts of blood relations and love.
Reading the middle chapters after Harry moved to the Manor felt like I'd drifted into some alternate universe (not in the AU fanfic sense, but as in the Dorothy "Uh oh Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore!" sense) -- so strange and foreign it seemed for all the Malfoys to be so enamored with Harry. I'm still undecided as to how much I liked your Draco in this (somewhat OOC to me), but you wrote in a way that made the story mysterious, puzzling, and ultimately very appealing and enjoyable even though Draco is normally where I form an attachment while reading H/D.
I do want to mention one minor issue that kept jarring me out of this lovely world you've crafted of Harry and Draco, though -- a possible overuse of the word 'whilst'...? (Talk about quibbling!). Is it standard British English to use whilst instead of while? Otherwise, I loved this plotline, and I can't wait to read it all again from Draco's POV!!!
PS. Also didn't know 'righter' was a word until Chapter 11 and went to look it up. The things one learns through fanfic! :D
Lovely!!
