First, I have to confess that when I started reading, I immediately - okay, not immediately but after the first few pages - thought that I've read something similar before, and then raked my brain for details until I remembered that it must've been this summer's hd_inspired fest and there, I found that fic, and checked the names and went whoo-hoo! I was right. ^^ And then re-read my review and realised that I actually didn't even like that fic that much because of some plot things. But I guess, you're writing is so unique that it just stays with me for a long time and all I remember afterwards was that it was great style and funny and frustrating but great in the end. Um, yes, and now I'll continue reviewing this fic. :D
What I liked best in this fic was not the crazy plotty plot, not even the engaging first person POV (no, I generally don't even like first person POVs, so there) but the way you seem to know the inner workings of the human mind and heart and aren't afraid to use that knowledge in fic. I loved how real it felt, that I could follow Harry's feelings and actually felt the same (you wouldn't believe I cried a little for Harry when everyone made him feel like an outsider). And everything made perfect sense and I never once felt that the characters behaved illogically for the sake of plot, yet I couldn't predict what was going to happen in the future just because I saw what was in the present. I loved the basic idea: Harry trying to save Draco while Draco is trying to save Harry and they both think the other needs help and they're the sane ones? Effing hilarious - and perfectly executed. Even if, every time Draco did one of his "zanny" things, Eddie Murphy's face popped up in front of my mental eyes. Um. Yeah, so. I just wanted to say, thank you for providing me with entertainment. This was totally worth my time - and then some.
