Stop, drop and flail

I-- I don't know what this is. How-- I-- ? There used to be words, and sentences, and things, and now there's just THIS ART.

It's the hand. Harry's hand, and Draco's wand, and OMG THE TROUSERS, but the HAND, NGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH, I just-- OH GOD WHYYYY, I USED TO HAVE A LIFE AND NOW THIS.

I was good and resisted posting it here full size so that you can all go to tumblr and worship the artist in person. But really I want to wallpaper my house with it. Or just my retinas. I could have it surgically implanted on my retinas, yes?

It has been quite a while since anything got me right in the feels like this, like I'm just FIZZING with H/D and my entire body is just a ball of SLASHY FANGIRL ECSTASY, and it just won't stop.

Draco's arse. It's some form of Dark magic. But the hand, though. *whimper*

*FIST BITE*
I MAY NEVER RECOVER FROM THIS

THE WAND POINTING DOWN AND AWAY. OMG, The abdication* of power. HNNNNNNGH.

*do i mean abdication? Do i mean abnegation? My fingers and my brain are NOT CO-OPERATING

It doesn't really matter does it? The point is, for all the tension in his pose, he's giving himself over to Harry. Surrender without softness and Harry's grim face that could be just concentration, but could also be a sneer. I do not think that there is anything more currently relevant to my interests in existence.

I'm not sure if there is in fact anything else IN existence other than this art.

Haven't been jaw-droppingly owned by a fanwork like this for a little while.

I might need you to come round and give me a good slap in a minute before I just. Sit. Here. Forever.

You should totally Askbox Alekina and copy her to this post, because she deserves to know how completely she has thrown us into disarray. I haven't been so conclusively kicked up the bum creatively by a fellow artist since mid-2000s lilithium :)

Oh yes! I may have messaged her already, er, expressing admiration. I hope it was vaguely coherent. Er. I will do that!

[birdsofshore]

Oh, god, tumblr doesn't really work for me on this little netbook, and I either just messaged her about 15 times, or not at all :/

Well, I doubt you will have severely offended her, even if you have clogged her inbox. The Tumblr app for Android does work well, if the laptop is too much of a pain, by the way.

I was just trying to be COOL and not a dork *fail*

You get all this and you don't even see Draco's face. It's all in his body position, like you said. Amazing.

Raitala always gets it spot on with body language. In her drawings and also when she sums up what's going on in a few words <3
