This is so good that there really isn't a point for anyone else to try and write this same plot :) I can't help but love this side of the Delacour girls.

I really enjoyed this story. I can't wait to read the other fics you mentioned in your Author Notes. Keep up the good work!

Woohoo! A double update of Jeconais fic to help tide us over the last few hours until book 7. Huge thanks for the timing!

The challenge you descibed is an interesting one; I'll have to look for other responses. Your variant on the idea worked really well, and I liked the focus on the friendship and emotional support rather than just the smut.

Wow. When you do something, you do it with flair, that's for sure! Some deeply profound moments in here, I was awed at H/F's late night chat. Harry's disappoinment at the Weasley attitude that forgiveness is easier to get than permission is quite palpable, even though you don't dwell on it. Don't they have any dignity at all? *shakes head* Harry, otoh, has dignity in excess, as well as respect and just plain empathy.

I love the Harry/Fleur/Hermione friendship - and the hint at H/F, which I do think is a good one. The Harry you have portrayed here is a lovely person, I hope DH!Harry will be the same.

Thank you. What a great piece of pre-DH escapsim... Just what I needed.

Big thanks to your betas as well, of course. I really appreciate their effort.

Cheers!

This was sweet.

Though the Weaselys were idiots.

As always, a great read.

While I will read most non-slash pairings, I do have a couple favorites and Harry/Fluer is one of them. It's too bad that it's one of the least common. I really enjoyed it.

I enjoyed it immensely as I have all your stories.

Thanks for sharing.

Really liked it.
As for Fleur's accent - not having it in her speech made the story easier to read.

This really good. It great that Harry is going to be best man, the best part is that Harry and Fleur friendship. You have feel bad for Ginny that made a really bad idea and Bill and Ron would cheat on their girls.

a nice story. loved the idea and all relevant parties got what they deserved.

At once both a wonderful work of fiction, and a cautionary moral tale. Note to self: Stag parties are overrated, anyway.

I loved how you handled the emotions running a-mock from Harry, Fleur, and Hermione. It touched me to witness such deep, yet purely fraternal, relationships. It only reinforces my belief that you need but one true friend in life, instead of the multitude of hollow acquaintances many people spend all their time cultivating (MySpace, anyone?).

Thank you for this splendid pre-DH present; I eagerly await Happily Ever After.

not as 'you talk, they talk, you talk etc' (which I like) as your other fics but still very good :)

First of all, your timing is impeccable. Here I am, worried that the 7th book won't live up to the grand promise of the series, and now I have stories to really look forward to!

Second, I don't know how easily I fall into the "strippers showed up for sex" trap -- I'm sure it's more common than I think, but I've simply never been to a stag party that out of hand. Still, it's an interesting enough premise.

I like how Hermione sees things potentially in the future -- it'll be interesting to know what you see.

Thanks for more Hope for the future!
