I'm so pleased that you enjoyed this story!! And that you liked Draco's perceptions of Ron's expressive face. :) The shibari idea came solely from that picture I mentioned in the original author's notes, but the more the whole idea of Draco in Japan came together, it just seemed to click.

Many thanks for your effusive comments! I had do very much fun subverting JKR's Scorpius for one of my own devising. I like mine far better. ;) So glad that this story worked for you. It was a lot of fun to write.
