Wow, thank you! I'm so pleased you like it best; this was the story I fussed over and sweated over the most, and even then it still didn't turn out the way I wanted it to.

It's to be hoped that the war made Draco grow up after DH, certainly. But I can see him developing into someone like this: someone who simply refuses to face the fact that things are different now. At least Narcissa kicked his ass into contacting Harry.

Hey, I would be freaked out if someone started speaking into my mind, even if I were expecting it! And Harry hasn't had his head much to himself, ever; I can only imagine what he'd feel if someone popped up there after he finally got rid of Voldemort.

Telepathy is one of those things that I really like and thus don't write all that often, for fear of just indulging in it for no real reason.

I've never written a vampire fic before, so I'm glad you liked the blood-drinking part. I've read a few authors who can make it sensual for me, but not very many.

Gloriosa is close to my favorite of my OCs. Perhaps because I could use her to torture Draco so effectively.

A sequel to this fic is unlikely, but I did have an idea for a vampire parody that I might write.
