This was one of the poor fics that got lost in my many open tabs, and I can't believe it took me so long to get to it. *hangs head in shame*
Especially because OMG this is so brilliant! I love Harry's voice in this, and just the way you built up that tension between them, and your glorious descriptions! Seriously, the way you were describing Draco, it's a wonder Harry didn't just strip naked and offer himself to be honest.
Like this whole fucking paragraph:
It was just that there didn't seem to be anyone else in the room that mattered, when Malfoy was there – Harry knew it was idiotic, but Malfoy sort of glowed. His hair was always so bright and his shirts were so white and crisp, and his skin wasn't milky-pale like it was at Hogwarts, not any more. It was a very soft, very warm golden colour. Like he'd been on holiday, somewhere, and he probably had. Harry had heard him mention the Caribbean sometimes, and Italy, but the thought of Malfoy lying on a beach, stretched out, letting the sunlight cover every inch of him, his skin dusted with sand and smelling of sunshine and seasalt and— oh, god, this was the kind of thing Harry tried not to think about. Because after a while of thinking, Harry felt that he might actually have to do something about this. Especially when Malfoy was wearing a shirt with the buttons open at the throat, and the sleeves rolled up, and Harry could see that his arms were that rich, soft golden colour, all the way up.
*shivers*
I mean, I could so perfectly picture this whole thing, and this gorgeous fic was full of words and lines and paragraphs of beautiful, beautiful imagery.
And then the Veritaserum, which is a fav trope of mine, but I find it can be a little much sometimes. You applied it perfectly, just a little nudge of truth to get things out in the open. The chemistry between harry and Draco once things got going...GUHH! I mean, that dynamic is one I know we both adore and I just wanted to roll around in it.
ALSO, I want to say that I LOVE the idea of Luna having crazy, weird parties. Totally my headcanon for her, and I was laughing at the random assortment of guests. I bet Trelawney would be freaking hilarious at a party. :D
