Okay. So I read this a day or so ago and wanted to leave a long squeeing review but have been pressed for time. First, the writing is SUPERB. Each line draws you in further and flows so wonderfully. Wonderfully insightful paragraphs like this:
These days, the shelves of the library were less dense than they had once been. Snivelling Ministry workers with glasses and hunched shoulders had seen fit to confiscate dozens upon dozens of volumes that Lucius and his family had spent decades acquiring. Ultimately, he had been helpless to stop them for fear of a prison sentence. Lucius had no desire to return to Azkaban at any point during his life and had simply watched with a clenched jaw as his books had been piled into boxes by people who simply couldn't appreciate their worth. Still, plenty of books remained. When he retired here, his family knew better than to disturb him.
had me reading and re-reading in jealous awe :3 Just beautifully IC and canonesque and guh.
THEN THE HUMILIATION. So spot on for what I was looking for ... So clever and sinister and perfect for the story. I'm more than impressed [especially when you consider the fic's length. So much and so wonderfully concise!].
And effing hell the hotdirtywrong sex with the knotting and the animal instinct and *implodes*
This was just what I wanted and more than I expected --- thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!
