I love this. I saw OC in the characters and was like 'eh' but then got real excited when the OC was introduced. xD This is definitely one of my fav fics, and if there is ever a sequel, I will be Running to read it.
Author's Response: Oh, thank you so much. I'm so glad you liked it and I'm glad you ended up liking Alexei! While there is no sequel to this story, Alexei does make a large appearance (with another OC) in my story, "A Bond for the Ages". If you're interested in more Alexei, more Severitus, and like Draco being thrown into the mix. Thank you again :)
