Something tells me that even though they have screwed their way around and been screwed, in many ways and on different levels, our tomcat protagonists will land on their feet again, and continue on their salacious, precarious ways--excellent, vivacious tale! Brazen and titillating, brash and intriguing! Thank you so much!

“I think you made Mummy do the pussy dance.”--lol! Yes, Pansy, Uncle Lucius did, as will he make you--brilliantly precocious and irresistable, can't help but think of Lolita! But it seems Lucius is wrong about Natalie being content to settling for going back to her husband, she's back for more, which he willingly complies with as well as Severus for Hermione--again, love the parallel, synonomous narrative going on, and titillating erotic, and the undercurrent of the jewel plotline--fantastic chapter, as always!

Severus and Hermione have finally discovered each other, fully, and neither is complaining; indeed, they can't get enough of each other. Some things transcend the professor/student labels, as they have quite happily and satisfactorily discovered! Love the parallel commentary and actions. Meanwhile, Lucius and Natalie have moved forward in their getting to know each other; for what he needs, a mundane seems to be making him quite content, and she is discovering another side to a labeled dark wizard. Love the clinical narrative commentary of the biological parts actions and reactions being made during the copulation scenes--it's refreshing in its factuality, as well as very candid furry slits and such--brings a level of honesty and truth, rarely found, while at the same time titillating. The voyeuristic entity of the photograph, the daughter witnessing her mother in sexual acts, is quite a risque, erotic element and technique. Moderation, what's that?--lol! I believe each have gone beyond the limitations of virtue. Fantastic chapter, as always!

Ah, so Severus and Draupadi are giving it a go of sorts? He does seem tobe taming her shrew a bit... but will it endure? They both come across as very stubborn and set in their ways; however, it is new territory for both and this might allow some newfound freedom and creativity to spring forth from their combined chemistry... Meanwhile poor Hermione is suffering the first pangs of true jealousy as reality and accusations and recriminations are ebbing and flowing around--she sees herself and Lucius and Narcissa in a new, uncomfortable light. Great chapter, as always!

Love the simultaneous narrative and dynamics between Lucius and Hermione, and Severus and Narcissa, being depicted--truly brilliant and truly a unique reading experience! And then, Severus seems to still have some unfinished business with Mrs Nott... their situation has a sad twang to it compared to his more honest and open interaction with Narcissa. Perhaps Mrs Nott seems to have different kinds of barriers around her, a strong one being her own mentality--will Severus be strong enough, determined enough, to break through it, nurture soemthing else in its place, and at what cost to him, her? Great chapter!

Love how Lucius and Severus have a very unconditional, balanced, comfortable friendship--they accept each other and wish to help the other one out; there's a lovely camaraderie between them that layers on and enhances each one's situation--their ruminating over the witches in their lives. Narcissa may have the best husband, but he definitely seems to have the best wife; they are both very patient and very tolerant and vey open in a unique, at times seductively whimsical, way. They truly know and trust each other, including and beyond their engaging, genuine love-making. Great chapter!

It is rather touching experiencing Severus' thoughts and feelings and sensations in such a way--there is something heartwrenching about his intimacy with his 'friend';everything has been stripped down to his human need to be touched and wanted, and wanting to touch, make love, and be needed. But then, I feel it would always be a novelty of sorts for someone like Severus who'd been so deprived most of his life of any warmth & liberating interaction of an intimate nature or such... Then there's Lucius, whose awareness and reaction to those he's attracted to seems quite beyond his control, barely--his sensual senses are heightened--Narcissa as well seems to be aware of his natural inclinations towards others, being something more than genteel manners... Hmm, things might get too rocky for our bad boy!

Lovely and engaging chapter, which way will Lucius' choices lead? He seemed to have it all, but now has discovered the unknown with the Grangers. And Severus seems lost but is learning how to take a chance and experience the tangible... Great chapter!

Mmmm... yes, what's a bad boy Uncle Lucius to do? Love the photographs point of view and view of the couple couplingLucius has gone deeper into trying to fill something missing in his life that Natalie triggered, but Vivian has given him opportunity-- bitch that she is and now his bitch--to experience some other level of fulfillment. He's mellowed on one level only to intensify on another. His bad boy fire has not been extinguished only fueled. Again, I love your erotic detail with each character and his/her perception of himself/herself preceding, during, and following sexual acts--it's deliciously brash, truthful, and brazen--holding the mirror up to human needs, thoughts and action. Can't wait to see how much further Lucius will go into the deeper pit. Excellent, engaging chapter, as always!(p.s. Not sure if my message through TPP got to an active email account or not, but just want to thank you for your generous suggestion for an outcome, etc.--honoured and truly, deeply appreciate it!)

Brilliant Prologue--intriguing and magical to its very core!Merlin's hairy balls, how have I not read this? Uff! Love the mysterious young wizard clandestinely warning Lucius; Lucius having a change of heart about Muggles shown by his interaction with the non-magical mother. Love the brisk, engaging, intriguing pace and switch of scenes; Lucius wondering what a kite was (lol!) while checking the accounts with Narcissa nearby reading some erotica and contemplating them, and the simultaneous eroticism being depicted interchangeably in each one's inner thoughts culminating in their intense and deliciously descriptive, raw and honest love-making--brilliant *fans self*--another yummy gem of a tale to savour and enjoy! YAY!

From beginning to end, that was a damn amusing read.The wife's best friend bit, as pointed out above, was a perfect summation of the characters of the two men as you painted them.They've saved the world, and realize they have to face their angry ladies... perfect.The ability to make me see these two philanderers as romantics... priceless.I was also very amused by the comparison of Dumbledore and Voldemort.  Truth be told, I had started reading this (as a result of a click on the Random Story link) but didn't really get why Lucius was so into Natalie Granger when he was so obviously with Narcissa, so I left off.  The second time the Random Story link brought me here, I realized I was curious where you were going with this, so I kept reading.  I'm glad I did.  I was heartily entertained.

And the gentlemen end up together, toasting their victory. The heroic trio whose spirits were united hurled a hefty hex. They nigh on cracked the firmament with their valorous whoop: “VoldemortEatShit.”lololololololNow if only JKR had thought to write such a witty ending to the Wizarding warring. Sigh. Instead, she chose to off one of your major protagonists. Perhaps you could write him a happy and sexily ironic story?I'm sure that a lot of what you wrote escapes my more mundane mind, but I do hope you write much, much more...

Sly wit and sexy irony. And then: Moody is at the center of an ass-saving exodus.  I burst out laughing.

Can't begin to understand the symbols used in this last chapter, but I enjoyed your story. Thank you for writing

Does this end with all the women, young and older having babies in 9 months? Natalie and the Parkinsons having pale blond-haired children and Drapuadi, Hermione and Narcissa having black-haired ones?

Whew!  I certainly wasn't expecting that last chapter to pan out like it did.  That was insanely funny!  As in laugh out loud funny.  Especially since the rest of the fic was so serious in nature, this last little bit threw me for a loop, but I loved how you switched writing styles for this chapter.  Well done with this chapter and the fic as a whole! 

P.S.  You've left me feeling a little embarassed and slightly duped.  I was taking the whole fic so seriously and in the end it was really just a light-hearted romp.  Way to go for pulling a fast one over on me like that!

lol only a couple of dubius men would equate cheating on their wives with their best friend as a compliment to both!  A strange ending, but fitting.

Great chapter.  I loved the similarity yet duality of the juxtaposition of Hermione's and Natalie's relationships.  Very well written and masterfully presented.

So complicated, intense and beautiful.  Still amazing.

Fleeting happiness with various partners, how sad. Wasn't Severus thinking that he wanted Narcissa? I know it was their last fling. What is Narcissa thinking? She wants to see how Lucius and Hermione get along with a thought to Hermione living with them as a "daughter?" Intense acting skills will be needed there. Are these people really that self absorbed or that needy for affection.  Perhaps they (Lucius, Severus, Narcissa, Draupadi, Mrs. Parkinson, Natalie, and Hermione) all do not belong in the same category. In my humble opinion, Hermione is in way, way over her head just by lack of experience alone. Yikes. What more could happen. This is kind of like Peyton Place (TV soap to give credit to the name). I am afraid of what will happen in the next chapter, but I want it anyway.

Ahhh, I just love this fic so much.  The relationships between your characters are so complex and multi-faceted.  It's great fun to read.  Wonderful job.

Well, the men have got it bad.  Hermione certainly seems to have come around to accepting the Malfoys after they rescued her and her mother.  I wonder if Lucius will pursue Natalie again and leave Hermione to Severus.  Narcissa either has a vivid imagination, has been reading too many romance books, or Lucius is really good with sexual spells.

I am really enjoying this fic.  I can't wait to see how the opal is going to affect the outcome of this story.  I love Lucius's internal debate before he has sex, or lusts after someone.  Funny and sexy.  Very interesting.

I don't really know which way is up in this story--and I find that I rather like that confusion.  Great job!

Now, that's a twisted tale you're spinning. I'm curious to see where you're leading us.
