Oh love, I'm so glad that you and Mona were with me from the get-go of this; having your enthusiasm along the way was such a treasure. And I'm going to have to snag your icon and credit appropriately; I've loved that picture of cugami's since I saw it and really felt that in this particular R/D world, Draco does feel cherished.

I'm pleased you enjoyed the Pig/Gabriel parts; that idea came to me early on and I had fun with it. Teddy as an element was unexpected, but he made a great plot device for Draco to be drawn in to Ron's life, and queer curious!Harry. *g*

I do wish I were an artist; perhaps I'll commission someone to draw that 'photo,' as you're right; it's such an intimate moment, captured when Draco didn't know he was even being watched. I think those kinds of photographs are the best, y'know?

I love you to bits, too. I'll be writing you a letter this week. XOX
