Oh my goodness Suzanne. I am blown away by the sheer sexiness of this piece. As as told you before, your version of Charlie makes me drool and wish I had one of my own and he does not fail one bit in this piece. And your Daphne, while a bit different from your "Hell series" is still as cocky and as bedulling as ever and I love the attraction you set up between the pair of them. I am in awe that you write this in a day. Now excuse me while I go back and read it again.

*fans herself*

I love this. apart from the fact that Michael's dead (!), I loved the tension and the banter and Daphne's confidence. and I loved how plausible you made it seem for Daphne to be at the dragon keep. great writing.

Wicked Pissah! The snark level was off the chart for these two. So self-confident, so sure of their attractiveness to the opposite sex. Their banter was just classic. You melded them into such a believable couple. Props on the progress you made with their relationship, from starting out infuriate with one another to finally getting it on in the woods. And the air between them couldn't have gotten any thicker with sexual tension.

Fun story. Mega props to you on this one.

Oh, this was definitely both very entertaining and very, very hot. Objectifying Charlie was an understatement, but I did enjoy every second of it... A lot!

I have never considered him and Daphne, but now they make perfect sense. Their dialouge, banter and sexual tension was so perfect, I almost can forgive you for killing off Michael here so that this would be able to happen (but only almost - hearing her refer to his death did still break my heart).

I especially loved her staring at his Horntail, and taking off his clothes in the bathroom. Very, very well done.

Amazing! I've never read a fic about this pairing before!

Your writing is wonderful by the way(: Your portrayal of Charlie and Daphne is impeccable. Great job.

Woohoo! that one was steamy hot! I loved both your characterizations of Charlie and of a post war Daphne. of course, Charlie would go for the tough girl, the confident girl, the dangerous girl! I like imagining the two of them together (except for, you know, Michael, who I still love first and really hope that you don't kill him off in DG6YFH) and I loved Daphne going, "It's um, complex."

Anyway, the dialogue captured their characterization and their relationship perfectly and I hope that you update soon!

Oh, this is great! I love the back and forth between what Charlie is thinking and feeling, going from righteous anger to attraction... Starting out with that in the first sentence really set the tone and you kept it up through the entire story-well done!

Daphne was very strong-and exactly the kind of woman I would imagine Charlie would want/need. He plays with dragons, for Pete's sake! And with a mother like Molly Weasley, the man could never be happy with any kind of shrinking violet.

LOVED the dragon tattoo. I want to see the tattoo. (Sighing dreamily at the thought of a red-haired man with a Horntail adorning his sweaty, muscular body...)

Okay, then! Loved him 'showing off' the tattoo. I actually laughed out loud at this bit:

“It’s, um, complex.” (Complex? Oh, honey. You have NO idea!)

He raised his eyebrow, not bothering to hold back a grin. “I can make it breathe fire for you if you want.”

She snorted feebly. “It breathes f-fire?”

“It does. It also moves, rears its head up, and lunges forwards.” He winked at her. “It’ll do whatever I want.” (I'm sure it does, Charlie; I'm sure it does...)

I think it's great how Daphne sets about setting him up for the hearing, although I'm not so sure her motives weren't just the teensiest bit self-indulgent as well! With a line like: “Oh, believe me, I can come up with far more nefarious plans for your body than this", what else am I to believe? I admit my response to Daphne's line was: "AND for that dragon!"

Love the ending; I can see Charlie being impulsive enough to make that happen and, well, Slytherins know how to take advantage of perfect moments, yes?

Fantastic story!

this was fantastic! and fantastically original. i loved it!

Micheal? :(

Anyway, it was fantastic of course. My sister's very curious as to why I'm been giggling immaturely. Characters were spot on, I loved Charlie's frustration with offical stuff and their dialouge was awesome. Just wow.

Suzanne, you are such a tease! Build all that up and leave us with a mere "how bloody fantastic it was." Here was me, thinking you were going to go into excruciating detail (and looking forward to it) and then you end with mere suggestions of what actually happened. *sigh* Ah, well, as they say, it's often sexier to see just a hint of skin than total nudity. Very, very well written. I can't believe you wrote this in only a day! You've a gift, m'dear.

I loved it!

Mm. Mutual badness makes for good, good story. You seriously amped up the tension to the point where I was wondering if this was going to stay tame and (relatively) innocent.

So when are you doing the next part? Or another one?

What Christopher said. And what Rita said. absolutely bloody brilliant, my dear. You are going to make me more in love with Charlie than with Bill, if you don't watch out...

Love your dialogue, love the sexual tension between them, love Daphne's lawerly speak (anyone would think you did that for a living), love Charlie's exasperation with officialdom and rules, love the mentions of the war (but you killed Michael? You KILLED MICHAEL?)

Love it, if you hadn;t worked tha tout already.

Oh. My. Goodness.

Excuse me, but I need to soak my monitor in cold water and fan off my eyes. That story could not have been hotter. Your Daphne was so beautifully Hell-Canonical, and your Charlie is going to make the SU a rather lonely place tonight as the ladies spend time contemplating your contribution to the canon.

I swear I half expected Charlie to offer to clean Daphne's pool. Or bring in a pizza.

And as hot as it was, it was funny, witty, smart amd just overall brilliant. That stuff you have in that twisted little place you call a mind that allows you to do this? It needs bottling and selling. Brava, Bravissima.

Fade to black, my ass! What a wonderful story! God, I love Charlie, and I love Daphne. I'm adding this one to the CW Chronicles Community! And favorite story. The tension was so great, and alway your dialogue was spot on. *wild cheering and maddening applause!*
