This book was really good! Thank you for writing it 3

I'm aroace, and it's taken me years and years to deal with my sexuality. Of struggling and thinking I was broken, far-too-late bloomer, the wrong sort of LGBT. The sheer amount of research it takes to even encounter the term is ridiculous, so I, like so many others, spent far too long feeling like Harry.

What this comes down to is that this chapter is the first time a book has made me cry in years.

Thank you so much for putting this in here. Even having figured out I was ace ages ago, even after being out for a few years, this still felt like everything to me. Hell, this is the first time any story I have ever read has explained the terminology to acespec sexualities. Ever. That moment of "There's a word for it?" that even pieces that have ace representation leave out, the feeling of being broken, and even aspects that I have not personally encountered, like dating without the desire for sex, were all included beautifully. And I am so, so grateful.

holy shit was this worth the read

Beautiful

I don't know how you do this balancing act of sweetness, anxiety, sadness, remorse, romance, and hilarity. You are definitely a writer to watch out for. I can see this type of writing in print!

This is so wholesome. And Slughorn you better not ruin this!

I can't *giggle* stop laughing *wheeze*

I'm probably thicker than Harry, still confused about where Draco stands, but this chapter is cute. It's needed. It's important. I've begun to question, just a few days ago really, if I may be on the ace spectrum. I think I kind of identify with Harry in this one so far. It's so confusing 'cause I've always thought that I've been "normal" since I was attracted to people, but realized it was, perhaps, a different /kind/ of attraction. I just want to be held and have cuddles and be emotionally intimate with someone. I want what Harry and Draco have in this chapter :')

I feel bad that I don't have much to offer in terms of criticism in review format. All I can keep commenting is that I genuinely like this story, it's such a "feel good" one, and it gives me warm content feelings :)

I'm so confused/curious about Hermione. My brain has already slotted her in the "good/light" category (even when I know that's foolish) and it's continually surprised to see these grey aspects of her

Oh Harry *shakes head* I can't help thinking that I rather like this Draco Malfoy. I think we would've been friends even *nods*

What are you planning Hermione?

Two chapters in and I can't tell you how reassuring this is. I understand finding someone hot or "sexy", even like looking at an arse or two, participating in club dancing, etc. But I don't wanna get laid with just anybody. In fact, I'm 98% sure I don't wanna get laid with /anybody/. It's confusing as hell.

I'm... actually giggling... This is so cute, so endearing.

Loved it! Thanks for sharing.
