Nari-chan: Well. Severus and Harry have a bit of a heart-to-heart, and there is some emotional bonding that happens in this chapter, although in a rather physical way. They’re working on things, and Severus is learning. Sharing is not always easy for someone who was an only child, and harder when he was abused and denied affection he needed while he was young. He’ll learn that Harry has enough love to spread around.

kittyfivetatts: Not a problem, this story is writing itself for the most part (this chapter took me about five hours, rather than the day and a half they usually take), so it’s not that bad that I’m not getting much feedback here. It’ll still come pretty easily, I think. That being said, I appreciate you doing your best to provide some feedback for me. So far, Severus and Harry both are struggling to come to terms with the roles they find themselves in. Things will get easier, but as you’ll see at the end of the chapter, things are going to get a little rocky for them first.

kittyfivetatts: It's fine, I also post on Archive of Our Own, and I get plenty of feedback there, so it's not the end of the world. I've read my fair share of bottom!Snape stories, so I should be able to do it justice. It's Lucius I'm more worried about, but We'll see how that goes.

SkittlesPirate: I totally understand with the Severus/Harry scene. It was meant to be very clinical. It’s going to take time for Severus to warm up to Harry more. For now, he’s still clinging to his detachment and trying not to get sucked in too deep. Don’t worry, I pride myself on my smut (When it’s supposed to be hot), so don’t be discouraged, that scene is in no way indicative of the way I usually write smut. I understand that Lucius’ reaction is kind of strange, he will explain further next time we see him, which will be soon, but there is a rather important thing that I had to get out of the way first. You’ll see what I mean when you read the chapter. I’m not sure if you’ll see more emotion as the story goes on, it may just be a case of my writing style and your tastes not meshing well, but give me a few more chapters to get there before you give up on me. I don’t get many complaints, most of the time, so I’m optimistic that we’ll get there. People are just now starting to find their place in this strange arrangement. Dauth_Daret: Thank you! Here’s some more! Nari-chan: Thank you! That makes me so happy! I hope the wait wasn’t too long, I had other stories needing my attention. Here’s an update! moodysavage: Draco has no love for Harry, and he doesn’t mind making that known. Jan: Harry and Draco will learn to share. It just may take some time.

Jan: Took me a while, but I got the next chapter ready! I had to decide if I wanted to do a bit of a time jump or not, but I decided to go ahead and do it. Ginny will never stop calling him “Luscious.” The name, unfortunately for him, is going to stick. Forever.

Jan: Glad you liked it! We will find out the identity of one (Perhaps both) of Harry’s other mates in the next chapter. Not this one, but the next. We’re almost there. moodysavage: I wasn’t intending it to work out like that, but I think it’s for the best. Besides, his incubus mate will only care that he gets to take Harry’s “important” virginity. So in the end, it all works out.

kittyfivetatts: Glad to hear you like it! I have a major fondness for creature fics, so I have several original characters under my belt, and I never tire of writing about inhuman traits developing in our favorite hero, as well as others. The three creatures idea popped into my head and wouldn’t leave me alone, so I made it a reality and the rest, as they say, is history. Or, well, some of it is soon to come, too, I suppose. Hope you continue to enjoy it! SkittlesPirate: You’re right about who has the other book, but boy are you going to be surprised about Harry’s mates! Wait and see, you might like it. I don’t think either pairing gets enough attention. Also, I’m glad you liked it enough to bring your account back! That makes my day! Masquerade360: You’re right on one, but not the last. You’ll see in a few chapters which one you’re right about. It’s coming up very soon. moodysavage: You have one of the mates right, but you may be surprised by how Harry and him decide to start off. Draco IS silver, that much should become apparent very soon, and I have high hopes that everyone will like how I choose to introduce the third mate. In case anyone absolutely MUST know the identities of the last two mates, this story is also up at Archive of Our Own, and the parings are tagged already. You can go snooping if you want, I won’t mind.

Thank you! Glad you like it!

Jan: Not a problem, I totally understand. I use the same two passwords for everything nowadays because that’s happened to me, too. It’s annoying. Yes, this Harry is a lot more outgoing and outspoken than I usually write him. It’s working for him, so far, so I’ll just keep on keeping on. Poor Harry, but Remus doesn’t need to know. Harry’s grown out of that particular crush.

Jan: You’re right about Silver, I can tell you that much. But he’s not a mate, he’s going to (slowly) become a friend to Harry. Severus doesn’t want to encourage Harry to get too close to him, because of his position as a teacher and a spy, but he can’t really push a vampire away without losing control of the situation and sending the vampire into a furious rage, and he knows it. So he has to tread very carefully. Luckily, Severus does everything carefully, so that won’t be too different from daily life for him.

Jan: Happy to hear from you again! Hope chapter five doesn’t disappoint! Not much happens, but we learn that the entire Weasley family is informed about Harry’s new status, and Harry gets to make a trip outside thanks to his new potions regimen.

paperangels: Perhaps. But, come now, do you really think I’M going to make it SO EASY? staar: So sorry for the long wait (again!), I do plan to finish this, I’m just letting my newer fics over at archive of our own take precedence, but these WILL be finished, it just might take me some time. Don’t give up on me! I swear this will have an end, and it will be a happy one!And yes, Ginny needs to take a flying leap, but that’s par for the course with my writing. No one’s really surprised, right? Talliane: I’m happy that you all seem to be giving me chances when I don’t really deserve them. I hope to do better. I’m back to working on these, slowly but surely. They’re on the back burner, but by no means forgotten! CrimsonRose94: Sorry for the long wait! Hope you haven’t given up on this! Hell spawn: Sorry it took so long, but here’s a new chapter and my humblest apologies! Laroona: Glad you like it! Hope the long wait hasn’t put you off it! It shouldn’t take this long again! ANON: Glad you like it! Hope this next chapter hits all the right spots for you! serpensprincess: Happy to hear that! Hope you haven’t given up on me! I’m still here, still writing! Serpensangel: I’m glad! Hope you’re still willing to read this after so long!

Jan: Now that the babies are finally here, the real fun begins! There will be cuteness, and fluff, a little smut, of course, and hopefully, a bit of humor as well. I plan to deliver, we’ll see how well I mange to. My hopes are high.

ladyedgecombe: I can relate. I was craving pretty mundane things, dill pickles, peanut butter, milk in my last trimester. Nothing too outlandish. Thankfully, I seemed to have dodged that particular bullet. I count my blessings on that one.

Jan: That will be next chapter, unless something else comes up. I plan to have next chapter be the birth, but you’ll understand if something else has to happen first, I’m sure. The baby fangs are adorable, I can just imagine Draco being very proud of his son’s milk fangs. I bet he’ll rethink that the first time his son bites him while feeding, though. That would hurt.

Jan: Will do! I want to finish some things first, but it may become a reality someday. I’ll let you know if it does.

Jan: That’s definitely an option, if I can come up with enough content to make a good-length story. I bet it could be done if I started fresh and laid a good groundwork for the first half of the story. Explain how the addiction started and grew, rather than gloss over that part like I was planing to do. The idea has some merit, I might do that.

emtherebel: Thank you! I hope you’ve enjoyed the rest and are still following this! It may not be a plotty now, but there is still some cuteness to be had, and there will be a few surprises in store later on. serpensprincess: Glad you’re liking it! I look forward to hearing more from you! Jan: The original idea was to write something dealing with addiction, but I decided against it since I wasn’t able to flesh out the plot like the idea really deserved. Instead this will be a series of snapshots of their lives, showing how the children grow and detailing some of their biggest milestones. I think this idea will work out better, and this way I can skip times that aren’t really important and focus on the major events. So no, it won’t be darker, after all. Darkenedrose291988: I updated a soon as I could. I have another fic taking up most of my time, but don’t worry, this is still getting worked on. The series is very dear to me. Zoha-Lixue: I know, but my Draco had to be pushy for the series to work out. If he wasn’t so stubborn, he never would have gotten Severus to court him, and there would have been no story. As for the pacing, that sometimes happens with my writing. I’ve never been good as dragging things out when there’s no need to. Saiakhasieth: Thank you! The other stories are still ongoing, but this is the only one on this site that is currently being worked on. The others will get updates if I get a wild hair and finish a chapter, but they are, for right now, on the back burner. Don’t worry, though, I will finish them. It will just take some time, that’s all.

Jan: I’m happy to be working in this universe again. I really missed it. Harry’s news comes out in this part. Enjoy!

Been a while, guys! Down to business! Anon: Well, Bill doesn’t have much say in what Shiloe does in his best interests, as he’s quickly going to learn. Glad you liked the Shi/Charlie scene. K: Sorry this took so long! I promise to try and get the next chapter out faster. I’ve been looking over my WIPs lately with an eye toward finishing them, but this one could take awhile. I have no plans to give up, it just might take time. In this case, more time than I’d like. Anyway, hopefully I can get this one back on track. Talliane: Yes, and now we move on to Occlumency lessons with… Helga? Haha. HalleyJoe: Sorry for the long wait! I don’t plan to let this story go so long again! It’s not abandoned, just got set aside for a bit. I’m back at work, hopefully I can get this one going again. kstutz: I haven’t abandoned any of my fics, they just get set aside from time to time. I will return and eventually finish every last one of them, though. Sorry for the long wait on this one, I’ll try to let that happen again. QuestPatronus: I intend to finish it, it just may take awhile. I have no plans to abandon it. Anon: Thank you! Glad you like it so much!

Talliane: They didn’t fight over it for too long, the beginning of the chapter kind of glosses over it. (But if you really want to know, Harry won. Draco let it go.) Jan: Yes, they have some time to work with still. Draco is going to keep hoping that Harry changes his mind about what he really wants.

nari-chan: Sorry, the chapter was just BEGGING to be ended there, and I couldn’t resist. But here, now I give you the Happy Ending you’ve all been waiting for! Does that make it okay? Elitacomba: There will be a sequel after I finish one or two of the other fics I have going. So, it will be awhile, but a sequel will eventually happen. I promise. Talliane: Yep, we’ve come to the end (for now). Hope you like it! Jan: This chapter should explain things (well, the note at the end explains more than the chapter does, truthfully) and then we end on a high note! djaddict: Come on, I HAD to! You wouldn’t respect me HALF so much if I hadn’t. And you know it, too!

nari-chan: Here you go! The penultimate chapter! Hope it doesn’t disappoint! Let me know what you think! Jan: Here you go! You get more than just a date for the battle in this chapter! Enjoy!

A.R. Fleets: I’m glad you like it so much! This fic and the one before it have been a joy to write, I’ve found myself thinking of it when I really should be focusing on other things, but I can’t find it in myself to mind overmuch. It’s sad knowing that it’s over, but after a short break to work on other fics (I’ve gotten a request for The Malfoy Cover so far) I will be coming back to write a third and last fic in this universe. As for this one, two more chapters left after this one. Jan: I know. I hate sticking a character in one role, so if there’s a submissive in a story, more often than not, the submissive will make an attempt to top at least once, to try it out. I do have one story (Bad Faith, two if you count Menage a Trois) that have clearly defined roles, but Sinicae are the only creature I’ve made that generally don’t switch at all. Lucius is willing to let Harry top, since Harry is a kind, compassionate person. But yes, they are adorable together, and this relationship is going to do wonders for Harry’s self-esteem. Talliane: I beat 70, haha. 67 is the last chapter. It’ll come up as chapter 68, though, due to the Prologue being named chapter 1. So two more after this one! We’re close!

Jan: Sorry, I totally spaced on replies. I was in kind of a bad head space, it happens from time to time. I’m glad you liked that chapter! It pretty much wrote itself, and I was very fond of it, as well. The sequel will only be once I finish some of what I’ve got on my plate right now, but it will be written, in time.
