[birdsofshore]

Time to claim my hd_fan_fair fic. This was a fabulous fest, I thought. I loved every bit of it, from the whole theme, to the prompts, to the amazing fic and art, the book cover designs, and the generous and enthusiastic commenters. I didn't manage to read everything yet,  but I found some real favourites.

Here's my contribution::

Title: Rarely Pure and Never Simple
Rating: NC-17
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Summary: Harry never thought taking a job as Draco Malfoy's bodyguard was going to be easy. Add in a curse that makes Malfoy even more of an obnoxious git than usual, and Harry's got serious problems.
Word Count: ~29,000
Author's Notes: Thank you to my delightful betas. omi_ohmy, you saved this fic many times over with your patience, advice, and your gentle encouragement! who_la_hoop, you have the power to turn straw into gold. The parts of this that you grappled with are infinitely better for it. Smooches to both of you. capitu, thank you for this dream of a prompt!

Thanks, Nox, I saw your kudos and wondered what you thought, so I really appreciate you letting me know! I'm really happy it made you laugh, and that you approve of my pining and oblivious boys. I really felt for Draco in the bedroom scene so I'm glad it came across well! And at first, I'll admit, I just didn't know what to do about the curse, but then I thought if it was cured, it almost robbed Draco of the opportunity to make good of it. I knew he could come out on top just given a little time and the love of a good man!

I definitely want to revisit this fic because I want to slash Silvius with someone. I have a crush on him.:DD I kept wondering if I could get him in bed with Harry and Draco, but they were too loved up to let him in, haha. I just thought the dynamic could be awesome, with Silvius being really into Harry, and Harry being really into Draco, LOL. I basically want to write smutty fanfic of my own fanfic O_o

Anyway thank you for your very kind and lovely comment.
