I love the dynamic going on between them here, particularly how intense it was, whether explicit and overt or covert and silent but no less present.
It also feels like their interactions progress organically, their familiarity growing and the complexity of what they are to each other expanding in ways that make it more enjoyable for them, more confusing for them (how they have to reconcile their desires and feelings with other desires and feelings), and harder to easily define and sort.
I like not only the tone and style you've written this in, but also the characterizations, particularly Draco and the way Harry perceives him, and then Harry himself and his own view of himself in relation to Draco. It really worked for me.
And great instincts and decision-making on the length and where to stop! As with many fics I like, part of me is always wanting more - who doesn't want more of something they like? But a good ending is priceless, and I really like where and how you ended this, because it lets me imagine more while feeling satisfied with the text, but more importantly it "fits" the story. I can't even describe what I mean by that, or examples of what I think good or bad endings are, other than just a feeling where I'm reading and the ending is there and it's like 'yes, this perfect'.
