I AM SO EXCITED!!! And I totally missed that this prompt had even been claimed, which is extra awesome!

I've got craziness at work and dinner plans, but I will be reading this tonight FOR SURE!

Oh my goodness, this was awesome, MA!! Seriously, from the first line I was hooked. I love the idea of Draco finding success in the Muggle world! I don't know that I've read a "Muggle" Draco where he wasn't just sort of getting by, and it was so much fun seeing him living a Malfoy-esque lifestyle. A life without magic doesn't have to be a life without posh, expensive shit! ;)

“I’ve been accused of many things, Potter. Rudeness has never been among them.”

Potter mumbled something that sounded distinctly like, “-clearly didn’t spend much time in the Gryffindor common room.”

LOL, this line had me giggling. But really, all of their banter and back-and-forth was freaking awesome!

Like this:

“I may live among them and do near-magical things with their money, but a wand, Potter… Much like a black card, one should never leave home without it.”

And this:

“Are you, quite voluntarily, willing to take your place on my arm in private

YAY!!!! So so glad you enjoyed. I was having such a stretch of writer’s block and your prompt jumped out at me as something that would be SO MUCH fun to write, and man, it was. (Also, somehow, convinced me to watch Kingsman, which, feels!!) And yeah, it was a blast to get to write something snarky and decadent, and I’m v grateful for the excellent prompt!

Especially thrilled that so many lines jumped out and EXTRA especially that they had you laughing and getting concerned screeches and whatnot! Isn’t that always the goal? (it’s possible that it’s always my goal) That and the tension, so v glad it worked. And Draco's characterization, too! I didn't realize it isn't more common to see him like this, and I'm very glad it was fun to read!!

Thank you for reading, and prompting, and being such an amazing commenter. You are a gem and a half, my dear! ♥♥♥

I really enjoyed this.
The 'whole arm' bit made me laughed out loud xD.
Is there such a thing as 'arming'? No no, don't answer me >__<
The ending made me sad. I feel bad for dear Harry. Why, Draco? :'(
Still a good read, though :)

[dicta_contrion]

Yay for laughing out loud!! I don’t think there’s such a thing as arming, but that could just be because fic writers haven’t gotten there yet. (And if there is such a thing, don’t tell me, either!) And I promise Harry is okay!!

Glad you enjoyed, and thank you for commenting!! ♥

I loved Malfoy in this! I'm with akira_tm on the poor Harry, but I'm imagining a happy ending for them. Harry will come back and win Draco in the end - he's stubborn like that. Plus, we can tell that Malfoy still has feelings for him, of course. Whether he really wants them or not.

♥

But this was so good.

I love that Malfoy wants nothing to do with the Magical world anymore! Yes! I'm not sure I've read many like that, but I love Malfoy making his own way in the Muggle world and needing (and wanting) nothing to do with them anymore. It's a nice contrast to the everyone-treats-him-like-shit-and-he's-depressed stories (but I love those, too).

[dicta_contrion]

So glad you loved Malfoy!! I didn’t quite realize until people started commenting that there really aren’t many fics with Draco making it in the Muggle world and choosing to stay there, but I had a great time playing with it and I’m really glad it was fun to read as well! And of course, with these two, there’s always room for so many things to happen!!

Thank you for reading and commenting!! ♥

Good GOD, mystery author, that was smoking hot. I'm not going to lie, while reading I had to actually stop, swallow thickly and kind of fan myself because that was utterly and completely delicious. God, the dirty talking, the way Harry asked, it was just so, so good! Lord!

And then the negotiations. LOL!

“And I once negotiated a hostage situation between the goblins and merpeople over a Pygmy Puff breeding facility.”

Absolutely brilliant. :D ALL OF IT.

I have to agree on the ending though. That Malfoy! He's obviously trying to do something here, to tell Harry something, but *shakes fist* ^^ It's a complicated emotion. XD

<3333

[dicta_contrion]

Yay!!! Laughing and fanning? That’s excellent!! And omg yes, these two and their complications!! They really are a couple of pieces of work sometimes. Good thing it can sometimes benefit us along the way!

I’m so so glad you enjoyed!! Thank you for such a lovely comment! It left me with such a big smile!! ♥♥♥

[avrildulac]

This was fantastic! I love their negotiating-- perfect! So much invested for both of them and neither will admit there is something between them.

[dicta_contrion]

Thank you so much!! I’m so happy that that complexity came through, and that you enjoyed!! ♥
