I was so excited to see this posted all at once. I read the whole thing yesterday and tried to leave you a comment but LJ ate it.
What a fabulous sequel! The things that struck me when I read it: the great characters, the smooth pacing of the story, Harry's kindness and gentleness, and Daniel--oh Daniel! I love Daniel. The OCs weren't bothersome in the least. Then afer I finished and thought about it some more I realized: the story took place in such a short space of time, Ron wasn't there (which gives me a good excuse to go back and read ATBT again!), and I liked Hermione in a fic for a change. And thank you so much for getting Harry to talk to Draco about everything before the end of the story. I so didn't want them to keep that discussion till the end. I also loved the way you "sandwiched" the action in between the two love scenes. It felt right.
It was an excellent read and one I will come back to again. Thanks so much for sharing and for posting it all so I didn't have to live with the cliff hangers.
