Branwen + smut = always a good time. 

 

But I really loved how you built up the emotions in this one. Draco isn't something that necessarily pops into my mind when it comes be to being the comforting/reassuring bf. But I think for the right girl, to give her what she needs, he would be. There's a coarseness to him when they're around other people. But even at this party they are also sort of in their own insulated world where he coaxes her where she needs to be in order to feel comfortable. 

 

Anyway there is a tone of emotional appeal along with the smuttiness in this. This was very enjoyable to read!

hello hello! here for some quick galazy reviewing!

I realized that i nominated this but never reviewed it so rectifying that now…

Okay but like VALID stare at hot people more, honestly. I mean maybe not if the things you notice are lipstick, but ya know!

Also like vibes on her for leaving though? Does that also make me a little hotheaded?

YOU CAN COME WITH ME IF YOU WANT why is that the sexiest thing i’ve ever heard? Thats gonna become my new fucking move i s2g

{this is the part where i messaged you}

Why am i so attracted to draco malfoy in this instance, not that its an inherently bad thing but like also ahhhhhhh how are you doing this?!!? 

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh it was fun to read so like im glad it was fun to write. Just… UGH WHAT A LINE

Okay, I'm not a smutty person, but since this was nominated for an inky, and I generally enjoy your drastoria fics (the few I've read... I'm really very bad at keeping up with your writing, I'm sorry...) I thought I'd check this out anyway! :)

And I'm happy I did! I really enjoyed the way you portrayed Astoria and Draco's dynamic, I like this idea that Draco's annoyance at Astoria would turn him on :P I also really liked how you show Astoria's insecurities in this, and Draco's point at the end: I guess I've also done enough shitty things in my life that I'd rather not be on the defensive about the things I actually do right. I'm a loyal person. It seems very Draco-like and a very fair point and I kind of want to give him a hug! (Although I guess he can have better from Astoria, so no need, right? :P)

Looks like I'm on a jealousy path on your AP today, and as I said I find that quite amusing for some reason! :P Poor Astoria, all her thoughts about "maybe I'm overreacting, are we even together in a way that allows me to have this reaction?" And then it's all for nothing, because the lipstick is hers... :P And of course it is that serious for Draco! <3

This was really lovely! Thank you for writing and sharing!

Snowball hug,
