FIC: The Boy Who Only Lived Twice

[lettered]

Reveals are up at hd_holidays, and melusinahp wrote Luck of the Devil for me. I loved this fic, a lot a lot, and it was cool to find out someone I already know wrote it!

I did this:

Author: lettered
Recipient: mahaliem
Title: The Boy Who Only Lived Twice
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, background Ron/Hermione
Summary: Harry Potter is an Unspeakable. Draco Malfoy is the wizard who shagged him. Adventure! Intrigue! Secret identities, celebrities, spies! It's all right here, folks.
Rating: NC-17
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
Warning(s): Fingering, anal sex, a blow-job
Epilogue compliant? Nay.
Word Count: 56,000. Sorry!
Author's Notes: Lots and lots of thank yous to kjp_013, who beta'ed very fast without a whole lot of notice. This fic was inspired by Go Your Own Way (here on LJ or here on AO3), a Bruce Wayne/Commissioner Jim Gordon fic I wrote in November, 2009. I think they are two very different fics--not just due to the different universes, but really different plots and characters and ultimately, themes, but I do kind of think of both stories as two plants that grew from one (really crazy, possibly evil) seed.


...Now I have a whole lot of posts to make about writerly style and guessing polls and writing process and fests. If only I had twenty million hours of time to set aside for fandom...

I finally got around to reading this, and I really enjoyed it! No, seriously, this is the first time I've read H/D of any significant length in six years or so, so please consider that more of a compliment than it probably sounds like. :O The world/job-building was very compelling, and I loved all the little details -- the surveillance spells, the guises, plus Malfoy making tea. Even more so, those moments everywhere, which make you feel as a reader that Harry Is Being Really Dense For Not Figuring It Out, until you take a step back and look at it from his perspective, and realise that no, it's more than understandable that he can't connect the pieces.

Also, I adore the way you write dialogue. It's just so neat and clean, in terms of the language, and yet it rolls you right along with it.

Anyway, loved this! Glad I ventured past my usual boundaries, for once. ;)

That was amazing, really! Like perfect! I'm so glad I found it ;) I read couple of fics from you and everything was just great! At first I didn't know who wrote this one but when I realized it was you I thought it was obvious that it was awesome :D Really thank you for writing ;)
