I just read all of DSoT, and I can't even express how much I enjoyed it. I feel like...a lot of authors can do a good Draco characterisation, but not that many of them can do a really good Draco POV, and your Draco POV is just delicious to read! And don't worry at all about your OC's, because they're all great, especially Daniel and his bischon frises.
I really enjoyed how, even though this was an action story with a lot of plot to follow, it still paid attention to the little details that makes the HP fandom so intriguing in the first place, like Draco's wizarding accent, and the spell for muggle families to keep their lips zipped.
A lot of H/D fanfics are get together fics, and they don't handle the process of Harry and Draco actually being in a relationship with each other, so I was really pleased to see some of those dynamics. Most of all though, I'm really happy with the resolution of the whole thing. All of the loose ends were tied up in a way that made the ending very satisfying.
I don't know how much fanfic you plan to write after this beast of a contribution, but I'll be eagerly waiting to read anything you put up for us! Thank you again!
I'm glad you liked the details - I find they're a lot of fun to suss out and drop in. I've been working quite a bit to improve that aspect of my writing, and I'm happy you noticed it.
And plot? Yeah, I adore crafting these long, drawn-out, plotty stories. It reminds me of hearing fairy tales when I was small. "And then what happens?"
I'm especially happy that you like my Draco. He's my favorite character. Fanon Draco, that is. I love what writers do with and to him. I like to make bad things happen to the poor boy, so that Harry can make it all better again.
