Thanks for your long, thoughtful review! I always appreciate comments about what worked for you.

I don't know if you read my LJ as I was writing this and described some of the process, but I write all over the place. Not in order at all. I think the Blade scene was the first finished. But I wrote it from Snape's POV, then completely rewrote it from Draco's when it became apparent that he'd be the better choice. And Daniel's big scene at the end - that pup was rewritten three times, first from Dean's POV, then Draco's and finally Daniel's. Daniel, I knew, ws the one who should reveal it all, and it works so much better.

I was happy to see you liked some things that are commonly hard for readers to get past. First, many folks like first-time getting together, which has already happened in ATBT. It's a little harder to hook people with an established relationship (even one with problems like this one). I'm glad you enjoyed them in this sequel. Also, I didn't realize how big a cliche that Draco-is-a-model could be, so I'm glad you didn't find it too trite. Thank [livejournal.com profile] kattiya, who used to work in the industry and beta'd all those scenes, keeping them as true-to-life as possible.

Thanks again!
