OMG how I love your Severus and Lucius. They are simply exquisite and totally in character, as usual. I love the description of the bed, the background of it--the *history*--implied in every bit of Lucius' background and mentality. But of course the Malfoys had once served the king, of course they would receive lavish gifts from royalty. I love Lucius' unwillingness to provide entertainment for those lesser beings who observe him, his trust in Severus, and the idea that Slytherins are bisexual and (ROFLMAO) "Huffs are Puffs".
Sometimes I wish I could tie you down and just make you write Lucius constantly... because you always have him so completely in character and his voice is so very clear and *him*. You are a master at completely inhabiting those characters and exposing bits of canon with a tapestry of history and emotion behind it. I love the idea that Lucius actually participated in rituals that led to the protection of Harry and defeat of Voldemort--due to his trust of Severus. I note that he doesn't seem angry at Severus' purpose, just curious. I also loved the prophecy and Lucius' desperation for his son's life.
Just so beautiful. I really tried but I know I didn't properly convey what I actually felt as I read this... but I did *try* to regurgitate it into the little white box here--despite it being rather incoherent I hope you realize the effort was there. : )
You just SO rock Inamac. This is going into Memories and will be read often, I'm sure.
