*hugs you very much* I have been dying to read this story since you first mentioned it months ago. I have much love for cross generational Potter/Malfoy slash, and you're only the second author I've ever read to pull it off so wonderfully.
What's so great about this story is how IC Draco and Harry were, and how well developed Scorpius and Al were (since we have no real idea of them IC). I thought Al's angst and frustration was really well portrayed, and by having this solely in Al's POV, I actually felt like I understood how he got to the conclusion that his dad was at fault for everything.
I have to ask, though: if Al was already struggling with the attention on his father as a young child, why did he choose Gryffindor over Slytherin? To avoid more press? Since it would have helped distinguish him in the long run...
All in all, this just made my day. And Draco pondering why Al wouldn't want to look like Hary, as Harry is beautiful, was just sweet and yet a barb at Al all in one. Yay! *huggles this story* -Jolene
