[birdsofshore]

Title: Haute Allure

Word Count: 12,500
Summary: Harry is famous for his menswear now. Malfoy is the inside leg that he loves running his tape measure up.
Warning(s): None

Why I loved this:
This was all kinds of fabulous. The haute couture setting should be ridiculous, but zeitgeistic totally goes for it with both barrels and it works - my word, does it work. The descriptions of Malfoy as Harry's model and muse are absolutely smoking hot. Harry's obsession and longing are a joy to read, and it's funny, too. In fact, I told zeitgeistic that I thought I was in love with her for writing what basically amounts to a literary wet dream, but I've changed my mind. I think I hate her. How is this fic so hot and funny and hot and perfect and hot and glamorous and hot and perfect and FUNNY? Gah! I will have to reread the NC-17 scene from part 1 (which is the hottest and funniest and most perfectest thing I have read for ages) and see if I can forgive her. WE'LL SEE.

Now, you know what I am going to say. We need art of this. WE NEED ART OF THIS! I'm putting in my cosmic order right now.

If you haven't read this yet, you really do need to, preferably now, so you can come back and squee with me. If you've read it already, please come and roll around in my comments so we can flail together.

Oh, I'm delighted to hear that. I recced it rather selfishly, so that I would have people to talk to about it. :D The thought that I encouraged someone to read it who would have missed it otherwise is making me beam!
