*sigh* That's so beautiful... Kind of depressing but oh, so so beautiful. You had such a way with word.
I'm here via your page in fanfiction but since I don't have Login ID there and you have LJ, I decided to post my comment here. I found your fic from someone's rec. I hope you don't mind me posting my review here.
I’ve just finished reading In the Closet and I have to shout: oh my god oh my god oh my god OH MY GOD!!!
That’s one of THE BEST mindfuck fic I ever read. EVER.
It’s so chilling and heart-breaking at the same time. Even before I reach the revelation scene, the sense of foreboding was so strong throughout the fic that I’m kept the edge of my seat, reading on with trepidation.
If asked, I’m not sure if I could pinpoint what exactly tip me off that there’s ‘something wrong’ with the whole picture. Maybe it’s the author’s warning and emphasis on the title play, maybe it’s just the way the fic was worded or maybe it’s just the few unconnected dot that don’t make sense in the narration

It has a prequel? I didn't know that. I'll go read it when I have time. You probably should mention it in author note or something. So, that other reader will know xD
Aah! The last bit was yours. I just need clarification. I tend to keep fics that I enjoyed in *.doc format in my hardisk. Just a collection mind. Something to reread when certain mood struck. And I like my collection in orderly fashion. Everything credited accordingly ^.^;
As for Draco being OOC, honestly I just assume that Draco had change over the time. Besides, I've read enough other fics which feature loving!Draco so it didn't really ring alarm bell to me *sheepish grin*
It is true that part of the (fic)charms is when it prompt the reader to draw their own conclusion.

I didn’t actually plan to read Silver so soon but since its short, I thought “Why not?” and read on BUT now I’m more confused than before. Because it seems to me that Harry completely lost the plot long before Draco died. Where EXACTLY is Silver’s timeline? Is it a) Right after Draco’s death? Or b) Just before his death+during it+right after it?
If it is right after(a), then I can only assume that the whole fic is Harry’s monologue in his own little world? -which does explain the whole fic’s confusing voice- I couldn’t make head or tail out of the sentences. And since there’s no clear distinction on which sentence belong to whom, I’m hard pressed to conclude that all of this scenario only exist in Harry’s mind. Even then, I’m not sure I get all of Draco’s supposed line. Regardless of being involved in Draco’s cause of death or not, you did say that Harry snaps after Draco’s death. But then that beg the question on how Harry acquired Draco’s body. If it is (b), then I think…*frown* Harry kills Draco? By poisoning the wine? Thus, he
