Oh, how lovely!
The posture says it all here, doesn't it?
Harry slightly dejected pose, Draco's proper posture until that last one, where we see his pain, and then when they are together, how well they meld with their 'compromise'.
This is beautiful work. :)

This is so beautiful, I love how each has something that hold them back and yet at the end they are able overcome it to be together :D Lovely!

Oh my goodness this is so freaking adorable! The concept is just super awesome and I just love the plants and how it kind of binds them together. Really wonderful work!

Brilliant interpretation of the prompt! I love your idea to show that hope and faith grow only until a special point from which on they need a bit of encouragement in order not to wither. Wonderful concept and wonderfully executed! <3

Wow, this is really creative and clever. Subtle. I do especially love Draco's last one, as well as Harry's rain cloud. Wonderful work.

This is so absolutely adorable!!!! I love the uniforms, and I love so, so much how entwined they are. Harry looked so sad and lonely at the beginning, and Draco, as well, almost despairing, that last imagine is all kinds of perfect. Thank you! <3

Gosh, their compromise looks so great and the little changes from panel to panel. I adore your style. Wonderful, MA!

I love this. I can't say I completely understand it, but I love it for the feels it gives me. I love Harry conjuring a rain cloud above his head to grow mistletoe, but no one comes and slowly it dies. I love Draco sitting in his stubborn pose as a plant (holly?) slowly overtakes him. And then they sit side by side and Harry's withered mistletoe springs back into life and the vines around Draco die away, and they are holding hands, and I am grinning like a loon.

This is beautiful, clever, and very touching ♥ I love how much you do with body language alone.

Wow! This is so beautifully done! Love how they both need that little extra from the other to find a balance. Well done!

Very unusual and charming -- the visuals play off the words nicely, I love the sharp pointed little faces, the school uniforms with the house badges, and the lively little green shoots and vines that (I'm sure) are about to bind them together. Harry getting rained on is just too cute for words. Taken altogether, this makes me think of two well-known quotes: "Hope springs eternal" and "The greatest of these is love."
