Eeeehehe, this is fabulous, Mystery Author(s)! (I can say that in the plural since I'm about to put up reveals, right? ;D) That the wanking is the catalyst for what happens in the rest of the fic is an incredibly inventive idea. And what wonderful wanking it is! ::fans self:: Oh, and brilliant opening line, by the way. :D
Ahaha, stuff that rocks: Harry's thoughts about Slughorn, his reason for obtaining the Felix Felicis, and "not that he had any particular wizard in mind, at the moment" (yeah, right)! Way to set a scene right from the start. And who knew Felix could have such erotic effects?? (Probably Slughorn... Heh.)
That voice, fuck, so close, as though it was in the next room, calling out with just the right amount of vexation and crossness. -- Ahaha, "as though" indeed! But of course it has to be the potion, since Snape is dead. (Ha, I love that no one thought to/bothered to tell Harry otherwise. Rather like what happens alllll the way through canon, eh?? A bit of almost-meta there, really.)
Oh, god, the timing of Snape's arrival! LOL And gah, I love that he's not all smooth about it. I seriously cannot begin to tell you how much I love a Snape who's not at all confident in sexual and romantic matters. So canon.
"It was really overwhelming." -- LMAO! Oh, I just bet it was! Felix works in mysterious ways... ;)
Eeeee, the conversation just goes around in circles, doesn't it? It's fantastic the way Harry has to convince Snape that, yes, he really IS interested in him. Really. Truly. And the way Snape says things without saying them. Just great all around. <3
