Due to the often controversial nature of my fics, I've decided I will no longer be posting here (this not NOT include my WIPs--Princes in Exile and Caged Bird Sings will continue to be updated here. This is regarding only my oneshots and future long fics). You can find all my stories at my Livejournal, under the name literaryspell. None of the fics are, as yet, friendslocked, so you can read at your leisure, and friend me, or not, as you like. :D Be sure to check out my master list, which is the first post on my LJ page. Thank you!
If anyone would prefer to send comments to me personally, or would just like to talk plot or make suggestions, please contact me at literaryspell@live.com. I'm happy to hear from anyone!

"For Merlin’s sake, please stop acting like I’ll take any excuse to ravish you. You’re not that pretty.” But he is so! :)
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of Some Things Change)
Yeah, but his daddy can't say that! LOL
ahh, but the boys still need to learn to stop their one-upmanship games -- Herms is not a chew-toy tugged between two dogs! although I do think Lucius deserves a "turn" since Draco pulled that trick.... thanks for updating!
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of Some Things Change)
Yes! So very right. They are so slowly working out the... kinks, so speak, in their relationship. Neither man is used to sharing.As for Lucius' turn, well. Read the update! LOL
Again, glad you are covering all the bases, and you are giving the Malfoy men fallable human responses rather than completely entitled behavior. :) Another chapter well done.
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of Some Things Change)
I'm glad you're enjoying it. Making the Malfoys real instead of caricatures is important to me.
Hm - Draco thinks that absolute power corrupts absolutely. Valid point, but he's to share that power anyway. And no one who enters into a love relationship can be sure what they're really getting into. If there's no routine to stick to, you can make your own rules. That's liberating, but it can also be frightening. Now when's Lucius's turn to come (pun intended, I suppose)? Really love this story!
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of Some Things Change)
Draco's memory of the war and his own father's mistakes are too fresh in his mind for him to be able to get sucked in by the allure of power.He is still working out the details.Your pun is defintely on the right track! Enjoy the update. :)
Nice. Very steamy. I like that you are covering everyone's doubts and concerns, and addressing all the 'issues' that can arise from such a relationship.
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of Some Things Change)
I really do try to. It's hard when there's so many people involved, so I'm glad I seem to be covering it.
"...the Malfoys were Teflon." A nice turn of phrase, and thoroughly accurate! Good job!
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of Some Things Change)
Thanks! Proud of that one, myself. :)
Ít certainly makes sense to get used to each other in pairs first (H-D and H-L) before they try a trio! Re Death Eater, maybe Draco and Lucius should get to the point (in good time, of course) where a joke like that would be acceptable, as a proof that this unpleasant fact doesn't stand between them any more. It's obvious that Hermione believes that they've changed, or she wouldn't want to be with them. And if they hadn't changed, they wouldn't want to be with her. Just never mentioning it doesn't seem the best solution to me. The Slytherins will have to deal with the fact that they've chosen a Gryffindor partner. Nice scene - can't wait to see Lucius have his turn.
Response from HannahSmith (Reviewer)
Did I already mention that I'd love to be in Hermione's place...?
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of Some Things Change)
Agreed, I think jumping right into bed with both would be a lot of take before they're entirely comfortable together.Really good point about the Death Eater thing. I actually think Draco's more sensitive on the topic than Lucius. Lucius is more willing to admit his mistakes, but to Draco, Lucius can do no wrong, so having it brought up reminds him that Lucius is fallible. They will certainly deal with this again.There's actually a rotating schedule to replace Hermione. I can put you in on Wednesday at 4:30 and Sundays at noon. *g*
Response from HannahSmith (Reviewer)
Yes, it makes senses that Draco would be more sensitive on that point. Maybe Lucius can help him accept the grown-up fact that even daddies aren't perfect. Wednesday and Sunday...? only twice a week...? Well, it's much better than nothing - thanks!!
No reason why all members of a trio should be intimate, even if they have sex together; but having sex while your father or your son is watching might be awkward enough. Draco and Lucius might need some time to adjust!
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of Some Things Change)
Agreed! Don't want to say more and spoil it. *contains self*
Interesting twist! Might give them second thoughts, but then our triad's situation is rather different.
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of Some Things Change)
The situation is different, but it forces them to face the reality, which I thought was important.
Response from HannahSmith (Reviewer)
Absolutely; no point in denying reality, even if it´s not always pleasant. They'll undoubtedly have their own difficulties to face.
Aww. That's so sad for Thello.
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of Some Things Change)
I know, he deserves better.
What an offer! How could she say no?:)
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of Some Things Change)
How, indeed? LOL
Sounds complicated! :)
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of Some Things Change)
And just gets more so!
I'll bet her dreams are sweet!)
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of Some Things Change)
LOL How could they not be?
LOL Their magic is really playing up! :)
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of Some Things Change)
Yep, trouble on the horizon!
A noble Lucius. Who knew?
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of Some Things Change)
Ah, but some things change, right? LOL
oh dear. Hope Draco is into sharing... ;)
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of Some Things Change)
*giggles* Indeed...
You're cracking me up! Hagrid in a bikini and Gloria Gaynor all in the same chapter!!! lolMeeting up with another triad is a really good idea. They have to have tons of questions. Great chapter. :D
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of Some Things Change)
Thank you so much! I do like a little humour, even in my drama. :)
I like a man who knows what he wants. *fans self* I could drown in his kisses!Anyways, now that all three of them know what is happening, they can (hopefully) move forward and reclaim control of the magic. :D
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of Some Things Change)
You and me both, lady! Enjoy the update!
This chapter explains so many of the questions that I've been having. Thanks so much for that! <3I love how the magic is infiltrating their dreams, coaxing them along to make the right decision! Great chapter. :D
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of Some Things Change)
Glad things are becoming more clear! Yep, they just needed a nice little magical push in the right direction.
Holy hell, that kiss was HOT! Fast on the heels of that nice, steamy one from Lucious... I mean, Lucius. I am anxious for the next chapter. (Sitting on my hands, trying very hard not to act like a 'fan-girl' going, please, please, please, please update today, how about now... or now.... or now... LOL)Nice chapter.
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of Some Things Change)
I do love kisses! Oh, please, fangirl all you like! I really quite enjoy it! Enjoy the update! And thanks so much for the sweet review.
Good grief, those Malfoy men are ... stirring in more ways than one. I love the way you are portraying them in this piece.
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of Some Things Change)
Aren't they something? They really write themselves. I just try to get them to keep it to a low burn instead of a flash fire!
Goodness gracious. The thick plottens. (LOL--That's a line from one of my favorite authors: TH Pine.)Another chapter well done.
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of Some Things Change)
LOL Cute!Thanks so much!
*is trying to be a good little reader and review more*I love this story and this chapter was great. You've absolutely got Hermione's reaction to the situation down to a tee. My favourite bit?“At first, I was afraid—”“You were petrified?” Hermione snickered.Draco looked at her blankly. “Well, I suppose.” Priceless! I've now got that song stuck in my head for the rest of the day though! Somehow, I doubt Draco would tell her to 'Come on, now go, walk out the door, don't turn around now, you're not welcome anymore!' *teeheehee*Can't wait for the next installment xXx
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of Some Things Change)
Thank you so much for the review! It really is the best way to make a writer hurry her lazy arse up!I'm glad you like that bit! I absolutely adore confusing Draco with Muggle references. :)I hope you enjoy the update!
(Mental images of Draco, a perfect arse clad in skin-tight leather, prancing under a disco ball, singing 'I Will Survive...) *Snerk*But, good God woman, Hagrid in a bikini on a bicycle?! *HD keels over into her lemon sorbet*Ahem. But just like Hermione to research the subject of triads, that's very much in character. And I can see Hermione being attracted to the power involved as well as the potentially... highly pleasurable side of the situation she finds herself in. She's dead on about her friends' reactions should she make the choice to go there... I can just picture Ron's face going dead white before turning a highly unhealthy and unattractive shade of maroon. Yikes!
Response from LiteraryBeauty (Author of Some Things Change)
I'm so sorry for ruining your sorbet! Hopefully, you had more (and enough to share with the other kids in the class? LOL).Another review once said that Hermione's battle cry is "Research!" and it's so true. When all else fails, books never lie.
