*ACK!*  You're right, Julia!  Well spotted, I shall change immediately! Thx.

The "Gleesome Threesome" is actually what my 2 friends and I called ourselves while we worked together.  I'm totally in love with both Markus and Jamie, and I'm also happy that the readers see them as 'real' people too. HH

Thanks. There is SO much background for this story, pages and pages of it, most of which influence how the story turns out.  I had to find a way to incorporate it into the story so that readers wouldn't wonder why things happened, but would more understand why they happened and why certain characters behaved as they did.

The Firebolt idea was thanks to charmed3 - she's got some really good ideas, and she loves my Cedders almost as much as I do!

HH 

Thanks! I've always thought that I'd want to know more about Cedric - he really interested me as a character, mainly because he held such potential, but his story was minimized.  I loved the shock of their reaction to each other too! ;o) Thanks for reading/reviewing. HH

Thanks so much! I really appreciate your review ;o)

OMG!!  Wow, rhian, I'm very pleased to see you here! ;o)  Hope you enjoy the fic!  ::hugs you::

Wow! Thanks for that review! *blushes*

Have you tried the LiveJournal community 'twoseekers' ? I've just joined myself and it's devoted to our two favourite Champions.  I'll be posting this fic there also, but TPP will get the updates first. 

Thanks so much!  I have up to Chapter 11 written and beta'd as well as the final 2 chapters.  I believe it will all be told in a total of 15, so yeah, more is coming soon!

Cedric and Harry are my OTP!!!  but canon!Voldy took THAT away from me, didn't he!!  ??? 

Oh yah. Chapters 8, 9 and 10 have all been beta'd and are sitting waiting to be uploaded. Am working on Chap 11 now, and thanks for your review!  Makes me wanna write MORE!

*cough*chapter 9*cough*

Although there's a little treat  at the end of Chapter 8 

*clears throat* 

Thanks. I figured that thare are at LEAST 2 sides to every story, and I'm having fun with this one.

The thing about Cedric is that he's a stand-up guy. Believes in right and wrong. That's why he has trouble with himself in the subsequent chapters when he tries to reconcile himself and his feelings for Harry.  Thanks for reading and reviewing! *reviews are love*

That's right!!  Gotta use them prompts!

Eye agree, poppet. 

Thanks, 'phile! You may notice someone's name at the beginning of this chaptah???? That's right! The three of you ladies have done so much to help me through this fic! Hugs

LOL. I agree, wanna bathe them and pat them and snuggle with them in a large bed!

Thenk yew, midgen. Mnyess, poor Cedders indeed! HH

Melting pool of mush, eh? ROTFL... I know what you mean though! That boy has some DETAILED fantasies, don't he? Thanks, NSS, you're a sweetie! HH

Thanks for that wonderful reveiw! I wanted to make this story less about the actual sex of slash and more about the emotions and turmoil that the characters feel. The Goblet of Fire is my favourite book in the series and I only hope to do some justice by my parallel plot! HH

Thanks for your review! I know what you mean about Markus, but that's just how he is and how he thinks... I initially tried to write him as being all understanding and supportive, but it really didn't ring true to how I know him to be. He's not a bad person though, so don't hate him too much! *pets Markus*

I think the story is already quite AU with Ced and Harry being gay, but in terms of how AU I make it, well, you'll just have to see!

Hi!

Thanks for your review. Chapter 12 and half of Chap 13 are at my beta right now, and I hope to have 12 back by the middle of next week. Fingers and toes crossed!

HH

Thanks so much! I agree with you about GoF fics regarding those two boys.  Even when writing this fic, it was touch and go as to whether Cedric would live or die.  I had another ending planned, but it had to be explained and detailed and would have dragged on much longer and rather lost track of the point of this.  I think that, in canon, Cedric's death started to bring home the fact that Voldy and his minions meant business. All the other episodes were near misses, but this time, somebody died. I felt that it upped the ante, and so my Cedders died in this one too.~H

Yes. Even though this part of the backstory and plot buildup is a little long, keep reading. It'll start moving at a fair pace.~H

Teenaged boys - they exist in a world of confusion, don't they! Cedric has the pressure of having to be 'perfect' and he's too much of a good guy to want to disappoint anyone. Hufflepuff, remember? He's not like Harry who will take his Gryffindorishness and go with it.*pets him s'more*~H

LOL. I guess it's the "in" place to be and be seen. :O)~H
