Author's Notes: candamira, I just loved your prompt. I’m sorry the resulting story isn’t superdirtyporny, but the prompt was so lovely, and this is what spilled out in response to it. I think it matches the tone of your prompt, at least, and I really hope you like it. Thanks to the mods for all of their work on the fest. Thanks also to my delightful betas, lettered and arcadianmaggie, for their thoughtful critique and helpful feedback. Story by story, they’re making me a better writer. I’m endlessly grateful to them. Thanks also to omi_ohmy and sapphirescribe for their Britpicking and support.

ICMezzo *tackleglomps*!

OMG, woman. That story made my day. Seriously! I had some hard days and seeing your post really brightened up my mood.

I'm always so incredibly happy when someone claims one of my prompts, and when the outcome is so wonderful as what you have written, I'm completely over the moon :D!

Do you really think you have to apologize because it's not superdirtyporny? You topped each and every of my expectations - what you made of this prompt is pure hotness in a very elegant and beautifully written way.

The language you chose to tell your story; I love it so much! The way you describe Malfoy and what he's doing - I was melting along every line, and I know exactly what Harry went through having to watch Draco casting.

Thank you very much for that strong and sensitive fic, I enjoyed every word :-).

I'm sorry you've been having a rough go of it, but I'm very glad this has managed to cheer you somewhat. (And really, I do hope things smooth out again soon. <3 )

Thank you again for the lovely prompt. I'm so glad the resulting story worked for you. :)

So cool! i left a comment elsewhere, but it also made me think of a fic I read a few years ago at HDS Beltane, I think... Draco was supposed to get rid of a curse on a necklace, but the necklace was sort of pleading for its magical life... I can't find it again so have asked at accio fics - we'll see!

Oh, interesting! I don't know that story, but I'd be eager to read it if you find it!

Thanks to the gracious Beltane mod thisgirl_is, the fic has been found! Rewrite Icarus by chantefable. I recommend it - it really stayed with me.
