Cheque #39: Harry to Draco: "I promise to get jealous."

Sep 01, 2005 23:53

Er, this got twisted around. A lot. Harry seemed very unwilling to narrate this story no matter what sort of scenario I used, so Draco rolled his eyes and took over. Sort of. Okay, mindless blathering aside, here be the fic. The last hour spent struggling to get this into final order has not been fun. >_<

Hooray!! I love the paragraph where Draco tries to read Snape's mind... and then his very quiet little voice afterwards asking for the truth. love.

just a typo:

“Continuing to save me own hide, for one.”

This is a perfectly satisfying post-6th year story :D

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. :) In some ways, though, I wish I hadn't had my big idea until 4 days before the deadline as there was so many other scenes I'd've loved to fit in, but I had to literally stick with the most important thanks to not having a day off all this week. I was literally polishing this together two hours before the deadline (my time); hence the typos. *face palm*

Still! I'm glad you liked it, thanks. *g*

Oh, that's excellent. This look into what it must have been like for Draco, and the moment when he learns how things really stand--yes. Really lovely and exactly the right use of this tightly-written storytelling, the type that says in 3,000 words what some can't get said in 30,000.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. For some reason, I usually end up using the tightly written style when it comes to Draco; Harry likes to ramble. A lot.

Then he leaned over and kissed Harry, simply because he could.

Sigh. :) I shall never forget that line. Great fic. :)

Wow. I don't even remember how I found this fic, but I'm SO glad I did. This is the perfect H/D and it even has not!evil!Snape in the background. I love it. I love the dry, pessimistic humour, the relationship Draco has with Snape, it's great.
