Well that's... different. Short, fast and kind of sweet is right. LOL. I almost expected a little more awkwardness between them to begin with. Of course, being a one-shot, there's a limit to the angst, right? Nice little ditty.

you're so right. lucius does need some good old fashioned lovin. i love your draco...so selfless and considerate. Beautifully done. im not one for one shots, but this was sweet, in a emotional kind of way

"Short, fast, and kind of sweet, I guess. I don’t mind Lucius and Hermione at times, but I always feel as if I’m cheating on SS/HG. Isn’t that ridiculous? Hahaha! Anyway, I wrote this while I was still on my Draco and Hermione kick way back last year."I've just recently got into LM/HG myself!  And yes I do feel slightly as though I'm cheating on the most beloved of Adult ships SS/HG.... but then I only got into that ship after reading a few DM/HG.... now I ship HG with any passing Slytherin in trousers I can think of thats gorgeous.  BZ is next!

Awww, it's sweet... yet so sad... It's like my favourite chocolate...Bittersweet, but too good to pass up! Too bad Draco had to die. Though the story wouldn't have made much sense if he hadn't.and you're not 'cheating' by liking another fandom...we all do it, I have many fandoms I read actually (no I won't bore you with which ones they are)

Oh that was sad and sweet. And lovely. I don't mind a bit of LM/HG.  It begs belief why that would be considered "underdeveloped."  Amazing!!! It's truly lovely and i'm so pleased you posted it.

I enjoyed it very much... But I think you should go back and make it longer... MUCH LONGER! I would really like to see the relationship bloom into something deep...

Beautiful :)

Normally, I feel as if I'm cheating if I ever read a story with Hermione/anyone else or Severus/anyone else, but for some reason, your Lucius made it all seem right and sexy. :D Nice job - I really like this story! 

A wonderful story Ms Southern.

I am listening to a very moving piece of music.  While reading your beautiful short story.  I have tears in my eyes.  I cannot make up my mind, whether the tears of for the music or your writing.Pehaps, I just settle for both and fetch a tissue.Best wishes.

I feel that too!  Lucius is ALSO capable of redemption, and looks like LM/HG is where I'm gonna turn to for reading when I've temporarily sated my HG/SS cravings

*sniffs* That was lovely, absolutely lovely.  LUCIUS!!!!!Oh how I wish JKR would make him a good guy in the end too.  I'm holding out hope that she will, after all Volde wanted his son to die.Anyway, great story.  Loved the way Draco got them together. 

I enjoyed this fic. I loved the fact that Draco felt the need for his love and his father to be happy and carry on should something happen to him. Very unselfish! Although sad, it was sweet too.

EXCELLENT!!!!!

What an interesting concept. I've always loved your SS/HG stories, and I'm happy to say I like your LM one's too. I can never decide whether I like the SS/HG or LM/HG pairing better. I think it is harder to do the LM/HG and have it be realistic. I also think that SS is more obviously suited for HG. That said, there is so much unknown history about Lucius that you could easily create a backstory to make things more realistic. Anyway, great story and I look forward to future ones!!
