What a wonderful sweet fic! End was a little sad, but over all it was really enjoyable to read. It was funny and witty. If we can't have D/G, why not Scorpius/Lilly?
Merry Christmas!

Wow, I can't wait for more!
I was laughing and sighing at the *adult* Ginny and Draco, being civil, yet still with the edge.
I want to see this as an 100 000 word epic, affairs, leaving husbands, not leaving husbands, propriety, impropriety, children knowing, weasley hating, forbidden passion romance...
Please. It is the only hope we have in the aftermath of the Epilogue (that what which will not be read).
In short, MORE please.

This is absolutely classic. I love the way that you managed to write it within the confines of canon, and keep everyone entirely in character, but still give us our D/G moment. My favorite things were the subtle details--things like Ginny not realizing that Draco hadn't made a mistake at Halloween, and more importantly, the fact that she was able to believe him depends on his wife resembling her so much. Or Draco's comment on coveting a co-worker's wife. Or Slughorn reaching for the candy, wanting refreshments while he watched the show. I love the recurring theme of genetics, and the way that the generations reflect each other. And that's just the beginning. Anyway, I think I will stop here. I bet it will take about ten more readings to really appreciate the story thoroughly, and I'll enjoy every one!

Thank you, canon enough for me and lovely to see that Malfoy are pigtail-pullers to the end.
Author's Response: Full canon was a nice Ficmas challenge and Malfoys will pull pigtails until they're in the grave (at least in my stories). Thanks for the review!

It is very interesting to read a Draco/Ginny fic that adheres to the epilogue. You've done it beautifully and poignantly without making it sappy and wistful. Awesomely well done.
Author's Response: Thank you so much; what a lovely and thoughtful review. Happy holidays!

A wonderful story. I love the characterisation of Draco; he's matured in some ways but still retained that appreciation for mischievousness that is prevalent in all Slytherins (and some Griffs too, it seems). It is rare to see a post-Hogwarts D/G fic that stays totally true to the characters in canon, especially since, if forced to admit it, I don't think that Ginny or Draco would commit adultery or risk hurting their children by divorcing their other halves. If only there was more to this story! I have very much enjoyed reading this.
In that mini confessional of Draco's to Ginny, I noticed that he mentioned being attracted to a co-worker's wife and it immediately struck me as a somewhat veiled mention of what he feels for Ginny. I like the idea of Draco wanting to let Ginny know what he's truly like and how he becomes truly saddened when she accuses him of committing crimes as a Death Eater.
I love this encounter, culminating in them kissing for the first and, unfortunately most probably, the last time. Draco's closing thoughts were a lovely up-lifting end on a rather abrupt exit by Ginny "..at least it was the sweetest kiss he could remember. It would be enough."
This story is definitely going to be added to my favourites list. :) Happy Christmas!
Oh, that reminds me, I'm curious as to why Ginny was sending Draco Christmas cookies in March.
Author's Response: What a fabulous, thoughtful review! *glomps* First, Ginny sent the cookies at Christmas- they just hadn't exchanged correspondence since then, so he had no chance to thank her.
This was meant to be as canon as I could make it, right down to their characters' morals, and I agree- dropping their spouses and upending their families to be together isn't canonically realistic. Draco was indeed talking about Ginny in the 'coveting a co-worker's wife' speech in his own roundabout way. Ginny has more of a smash-you-over-the-head syle than Draco's veiled allusions.
You may be interested to hear that I'm doing a second chapter because of all the requests; it'll be up around New Year's. Happy holidays to you as well!

Author's Response: You're very welcome (and thank you for the wonderful review)! It was supposed to be bittersweet with D/G but funny with the kids as a strange little counterpoint. Happy holidays to you as well!

I want more, plain and simple. I get this feeling that there is more story to be told here for Draco and Ginny. Scorpius and Lily are just darling with their bickering to cover up their real feelings.
Author's Response: *hugs* Thanks, Pud! There is more- way more, but I can't seem to finish any of my WIPs, so I'll just do one more chapter of letters to tie some things up. *grins* The kids are a blast to write.

This is spectacular. I truly enjoyed it. I know nearly everyone must be saying you should continue it, but it's perfect the way it is. Well done on this one!
Author's Response: Aw, thanks! You always leave me the sweetest reviews. :D
You know, I meant to leave it as is; they've chosen their families, and that's the ending I wanted. Bittersweet. But with so many saying the same thing, I'm going to do one more chapter of letters to tie things up.

So enjoyable! I'm sure everyone who reads this will be left wanting for more like I was, a true testament to a well-written story. So, maybe a one-shot sequel for valentines(?), now that would be terrific. You're a very creative writer, I certainly enjoyed all your stories.
No pressure, but I hope you are still gonna continue the intriguing and brilliant Occam's Razor? Meanwhile, thanks for this wonderful Christmas gift. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Author's Response: The new chappie for Occam's Razor is going up Christmas Eve, because I'm an admin and I fully intend to abuse my posting-while-submissions-are-closed privileges. ;D I wanted the chapter to coincide with when it occurs in the story.
Thank you for such a lovely review!There will be one additional chapter to tie certain things up in this story; it'll go up around New Year's.
