Back back back, and I adored it just as much as I thought I would!! Which is to say, a whole lot!!

This is so so clever, MA, and funny and touching and GREAT!

Loved the epigraph, which was perfect and really fit so well with the story, and I really appreciated how that theme played out, how it changed Harry's perception, and this great, subtle nod to his history in that, especially given what he was wearing. That description of the jeans and belt had my chest twisting and had me really really rooting for the change and what it would do to him - how it would free him, even. And you do a brilliant job of contrasting his confidence at the end with his uncertainty at the beginning. Just love how much character development is built in, and it gave it so much feels-y weight!

And then, the details!! OMG at Harry wearing his Weasley sweater to the gay bar. That really said it all!! Toby's expression was perfect and I could absolutely imagine it. And DRACO'S WIT OMG. "I, in fact, have clothes for sale." "There is hope for you." *snerk* And the whole exchange with the charmed trousers!!

Which was a perf transition into the hot hot sex. And still with the wit, those little moments where Draco throws out a quip that ends up being quite revealing. But then also, seeing Harry's desire play out, and how urgent it is for both of them. Awesome!

And loved the ending!! That hint of more, that bit of banter - very promising, and a great way to tie everything together!!

Really enjoyed this, MA, thank you!!! <3<3<3

I am so glad you liked it! *beams* It was such a fabulous prompt and I had a clear idea of what to do with it, but that didn't quite work out. There was more UST planned that the boys couldn't be bothered with, so then I worried you'd be disappointed, etc, etc...

I am delighted that you appreciated the epigraph! I don't know if I've ever used one in fanfiction before, but Ms. Woolf captured so well in two sentences what I sought to convey in 4,000 words.

Your comment is so lovely and such an ego boost. Thank you for taking the time to convey what worked for you. I love nothing more than when my dialogue is enjoyed, so you have me delighted. *hugs*
