Yeah. I have no problem with bottom!Draco (Ravenna C. Tan writes great stories that I love to read), and I have no problem with D/s and clear set roles. Within reason. As long as that doesn't involved changing the character of Draco (and Harry) completely. But more often than not, it does.
Exactly. Okay, if he changes himself to hide from Voldemort (I recently read a story that was very good, and that started with a makeover, involved crazypunching!Vernon and name and face (including eyecolour, but that was not permanent) changing, and everything was reasonable. I didn't like some of the reasons, but it wasn't like "suddenly a fairy popped up and made Harry look better because I think he's unseaxy") - I accept the most abstract things, if, in that universe, they aren't abstract. (And all those Severitus fanfics became a great deal less abstract too after book 7 came out.)
I agree. I mean, lovey-dovey, pink clouds is normal when you're in love - for the first two weeks. And it doesn't mean you lose your common sense completely. (only a little ;)
