Vampire Harry… sign me up honey! I liked the angst and I kinda liked the last minute break up and grovel in this. Draco’s just a cutie pie. Love them

Lovely, lovely story! Lots of wonderful enemies angst at the start and lots of lovely Drarry fluff at the end, a lovely balance.

Some Favorite Quotes:
"You've annoyed me, so now I plan on denying you the sight of my glorious nakedness. A worthy and just punishment."

"Fuck, I think that was the single greatest thing I have ever seen in my life, and I watched you come back from the dead to kill old Where's-His-Nose?"

"You can't ever do wrong by me. There is nothing so terrible that you could do to make me stop loving you. We're brothers. In every sense of the word."

"However, a trinket wouldn't go amiss. After all, nothing says 'I'm chuffed to have you as my sole food source' like an expensive piece of jewelry."

"What, because I'm dead, you think that will excuse your laziness?" He tsked. "I'm exactly the same man I was, Draco." Those dark eyes pierced him to the core. "Are you?"
"You know, Professor," he replied smoothly, whipping off the sweltering robe. "I don't think I am."
A smile tugged at the corner of Snape's mouth. "Good for you."

"You could have worn a thousand different faces, and my heart would have seen through every single one of them."
