[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!

So I could not resist......ignored my list of stuff I should have been doing, and the fact that I should have been sleeping and dove in!

So glad I did :) I so enjoyed the entire thing! I loved the reluctantly honest Draco and how that changed everything around him making things better than he could have imagined or schemed for.

I have removed this story from my must read list and put it on my read again favourite list :) Thanks for sharing this

I'm so flattered that you felt compelled to try this! And I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed it. It was such a fun one to write, and the story really grew and changed while I was working on it, which was a great experience for me.

Thanks ever so much for your kind comments.
