Argh, this is like the best comment ever. ♥ ♥ ♥ Thank you so much, Fray, it mean a whole lot to me that you liked the fic. And your comments show that you really got what I was trying to do as well, and that makes me very happy.
Thinking about Harry's experience during this story was really freaking difficult. He was forced to do something he'd never, ever do by choice. He tried to keep a balance between giving Scorpius the affection he needed to make the experience less traumatic, but not allowing himself to indulge at all, since Scorpius was young and naive. And it wasn't a balance anyone could really keep, especially when Harry was battling with his own sense of shock and horror the whole time.
"(Scorpius's emotionality which is very much at odds with his assertions that he's not a child - he must've seemed VERY much like a child to poor Harry)" -- This. :) I'm really happy you saw that.
I don't think there's anything creepy about finding the story hot. It's a fantasy, etc etc, and not meant to portray real people in a real situation.
