I loved this! The interesting charm, the eavesdropping, great tension--I love the way they both get all toppy and demanding in different ways. Harry up in Draco's face in the Ministry while getting off on the idea of Malfoy ordering him around is just hot, and I love how they have to go from not trusting each other at all to each of them deciding to trust the other. This story was just perfect in so many ways, and I never feel like I can express what it is that worked for me exactly. It was great seeing the development on Harry's end.
And the art, wow. I scrolled down to look at the art before I bookmarked the fic (doing way more bookmarking than reading these days), but the art (ok, the second picture specifically) was so hot I needed to come back and read the story within a day just so I could see it again. The first picture I kept looking at as I was reading that scene in the story. So hot. And that second picture. Wow again, a little stuck for words but I love the perspective and composition--so unusual and like a photograph. The Dark Mark. Not seeing all of Draco. Looking at Harry turning back to look at Draco (but having his eyes closed). There's something voyeuristic about the whole arrangement, and--just hot!
