Title: Desire Unveiled
Author: frayach
Pairing: Draco/Harry
Word Count: 15,200
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: This story takes place during The Order of the Phoenix when Draco and Harry are 15. There is no adult/child sexual content. The sex is between Harry and Draco, so yes, they are underage, but there is no statutory rape involved - just consenting teenagers.
Summary: Harry is emphatically NOT a pouf, and thus his reoccurring fantasies involving Draco are due to his Occlumency lessons with Snape, NOT to his sexuality. Or so he tries to convince himself. Meanwhile, Voldemort has returned, and Harry is about to learn that he is the Chosen One - whether he’s ready or not.
Why I like this: This story is set during the Order of the Phoenix, a very dark time for Harry in the books. Accordingly, the fic has a dark tone that is similar to OotP in some ways, and it's also about as far away from the children's book as you could possible imagine. The way Harry is portrayed as this boy desperately struggling with his identity on top of all this pressure he's being put under is so heartwrenching and realistic. And that's probably what I love most about this story- not only is it incerdibly well written, but it's written in a way that is graphically real, dirty, gritty and raw.
And THE SEX! OMG THE SEX!
Quote: The moment Malfoy came, so did he. Then he collapsed onto the toilet and waited till the shuddering subsided. When it did, he felt a sense of peace and contentment that wasn’t shattered until he remembered about what and who he’d been fantasising.
When he did, his world fell apart, and he sat for a long time, his trousers still around his thighs. Sometimes he cried. Other times he could only wish that he could.
