[birdsofshore]

Claiming my hp_crossgenfest fic. \o/

Title: Observing the Proprieties
Author: birdsofshore
Pairing(s): Albus Severus/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~7,000
Content/Warnings: Highly inappropriate teacher/student activity, some dub-con, age difference 17/43
Summary: Professor Malfoy is determined to teach his students to follow his instructions to the letter. The problem is that Albus enjoys detention just a little too much.
A/N: Thank you to the lovely shiftylinguini for this most tempting and delicious prompt, to my beta, lq_traintracks,  for being endlessly patient and helpful, and to gracerene for being a brilliant mod and running such a great fest.

I got a bit stuck with this one and in fact dropped out of the fest at one point. Then at the last minute, inspiration struck again and I was able to squeak it in just in time. I chose this prompt because I cannot refuse anything shiftylinguini asks of me I was intrigued by the erotic potential of directing and not touching. I hope I did it justice. Thank you to everyone who gave this a try - your comments were much appreciated. ♥

I can almost hear Draco saying “That seems to be resisting all your efforts.”

I'm obsessed with this fic. XD

Oh, I'm glad inspiration struck you at the last moment and you didn't drop out of writing this story. It was delicous and I had such a good time reading it. Yeah, I thought this one must be yours- your Al and Draco both have this pointed and vivid way with words. Pairing and title might have been a hint too. :D
I loved it!

[birdsofshore]

Heh, I'm so tickled you like that line. I'm so happy I managed to squeeze out a bit of cross gen goodness in time!

[birdsofshore]

I did feel conspicuous this time! It is lazy of me to write alternating 1st person for Draco/Al but it's just a habit now. I'm very glad you enjoyed it. The one good thing was that after i got stuck with this one, I wrote about 4k of a different Draco/Al, so I aim to come back and finish that when I have time, as well.

I read this and KNEW it was you! Actually at first I suspected gracerene's outstanding Draco/Al fiction but when I read this I was like: OMG YES BIRDS YOU HAVE KILLED ME!

Ahhhh, I love this fiction so much. BRB must go re-read!

[birdsofshore]

Ahhh LOL I think I was PRETTY OBVIOUS here. I sometimes think at fests, "Hmm, I'm getting away with this," but this time, NOPE. Someone said they spotted me by the list of tags on AO3 :DDD

Of course it was you who ended me, you evil, adorable, gorgeous little shit!! :D <33

I should have seen it coming but I haven't had time! My mind's been all over the place and besides, I thought, I don't know enough people yet to make educated guesses. But this one... This one was so clearly yours when looking back ahahshkdhsgdk.

If anything I should've known after I wrote my essay of a comment. Or rather, after I tried writing it and died halfway through.

(And this comment I accidentally posted too early. What is it with me and my comments to you? *Snorts*)

<333

[birdsofshore]

Ah, I hope you're OK and sorry to hear your mind is all over the place - not too troubled, I hope? I loved your comment essay, and the holy grapes, and the hill. Still snorting gleefully about that one.

So glad it made an impression on you!

[birdsofshore]

Your confused emails trying to work it out were a fucking joy to me. But you were too smart, you sussed me good and proper! <3333

Thank you, I've mostly been busy starting up life again after summer break so I'm okay. It hasn't left me a lot of downtime, though, and the little time I had I spent binging fic for various fests. Soo, I didn't have a lot of brainpower left for guessing who wrote what.

Ahaha, god damn it, I actually giggled when the reveals went up and I saw it was you. Somebody even asked me why I was so amused. That was one of the fics I was most curious about and in hindsight it is so obvious it was you, but did that even cross my mind as I read it? Nooope.
