Author's notes: Liz, I tried to capture something of the casual intensity of Harry and Draco's interaction in your story. But even with more than 7000 words, this turned into something quite different. I hope you still enjoy the background story I gave your boys.
My heartfelt gratitude goes to
melusinahp for sacrificing her Sunday night to beta this story. Thank you! ♥
Dear reader, hidden in this story are ten instances of Draco noticing something during this eventful evening of May 27, 2005. Feel free to keep count. ♥
WHY?
Ok, it's
vaysh11. I am passing fond of
vaysh11, I admit. And it's a mathematical spin at right angles to a just recced Numerical, so yes, that's a clever recc and a worthy fic, and clearly the next karmic move on my personal chessboard, but, why? Oh, I suppose it's Draco again. I am passing fond of him, too, you see, and
vaysh11 always manages him in just the right way. And her Harry. Speechless in response; quite.
So...it's character, really, what it drills down to, what I focussed upon here, in this fic. This story's got a trigger, mind you (heed the warnings!), but Harry and Draco just shine through like a bloody beaming blessing. A layered, twisty, makes-you-think, makes-you-feel, that-was-brilliant! blessing.
I loved all of
hd_remix that year and I'd recc all of it, art and fic, without hesitation, but please...this one. Oh, this one!
