I love how the time line jumps back and forth. It makes me wonder which encounter is the most recent? Makes me wonder now it ends? If it ends?

Lovely, Thank You.

lovely, lovely read. there were a few times i got confused with the timeline, but the tone and the sparseness of the writing beautifully conveyed the desperation of the whole thing - harry's obsession, draco's situation, his willingness to take advantage of harry. i love good old fashioned rent!boy draco, but i really appreciated how you managed not to romanticize it here. i think it really allowed the edges of draco's character to come through. great job!

oh, but i do love prostitute!fic every time. i was also a little confused with the timeline - i'll have to read it again, i think. and why draco wanted harry's memories - for connections to rebuild his life up, or what? in any case, a most excellent read, and i was so disappointed when it ended... but how could it end anywhere but with the fiendfyre? :)

I actually really liked this a lot...and I managed to figure out how the timeline went. I usually don't read fics where Draco sells his body but the way you wrote this was spectacular with really crisp moments of Harry helping Draco in different ways, at different times. It flowed really smoothly and I can totally see this following right after DH. It just works, if that makes sense. Nice job!

The timeline was great. Draco as a prostitute and taking memories and secrets from Harry as payment was fabulous. Harry going back and paying for everything was so perfect. Wonderful.
