Merry Smutmas, empathic_siren!

To: empathic_siren
From: mijan

Title: Wandlore
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy, with a bit of Severus Snape on the side.
Disclaimer: JKR owns Harry, Draco, Severus, and all things related. I, however, pwn them with whips, chains, ball-gags, and all things kinky. JKR makes the money. I make Teh pr0nz. Please, JKR, do not sue me. Your characters needed some stress relief anyway.
Summary: Harry has a bit of a wand problem. Draco may be able to help him with the solution.
Warnings: BDSM, to include "the basics," plus a very tiny bit of bloodplay.
Author's Notes: Hi empathic_siren! When I figured out this plot, I'd meant to give you about 10,000 words. The plot, however, had other ideas. Whether or not the story pleases anyone else, I hope you like it. Merry Smutmas to all, and to all a good shag!

( Wandlore )

This is so overwhelmingly good that I really don't know how or where to start!!!! I can't believe how amazing this is on every level - the smut is *dies* HOT, and I've never liked BDSM so much! Harry's emotional journal, and Draco's, actually, is incredible and raw and so, so perfect. Those last lines of Draco's... I'm actually all choked up! And you've got some brilliantly funny lines in there! Oh, and I LOVE that Draco is training to be a wandmaker! What a perfect thing for him! You win at so many things :)

	grins I like the idea of Draco as a wandmaker, myself. I'm glad you liked it, too! Thanks! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	One of the neatest excuses for rough stuff since The Black Jewels. Well done, too. (And need I say, hot?) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thanks! And... what's "The Black Jewels"? I think I might like reading that. :D (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Anne Bishop wrote The Black Jewels trilogy: 1 Daughter of the Blood, 2 Heir to the Shadows, 3 Queen of the Darkness. There's a isngleton set in the universe, The Invisible Ring, and Dreams Made Flesh (4 short stories). Google and I'm sure you'll find lots of opinions!

It's a magical world, with people having power at different levels (classified as jewels), where some races are long-lived (two of the heroes are ~ 2000 yrs old) and some not (the heroine). For that matter, some characters are dead. The world has been taken over by a power-hungry witch who controls stronger witches (by having them 'broken' in their first sexual encounter) and wizards (by various means, including a sort of magical cockring, sexual slavery, corruption). The world is waiting for Witch to arise - the embodiment of dreams. Witch is a young girl, almost defenceless... Read on.

Some people utterly despise these books, some are rabid fans. I enjoyed them for the story, despite the occasional excess. If you read them for the rough stuff you shouldn't go far wrong.

You've conquered your past.

The fact that one of the almost-last sentences thematically summarises the whole story seems extremely appropriate - the way it all ties together so neatly is testament to how good of a writer you are.

The theories of wandlore were perhaps my favourite part of the fic, just because I'm such a freak for magical theory, and you explained things so well, with the way the wood of Draco's wand required dominance, and the Elder wand requiring power and command and thus torturing Harry because that wasn't really him, and the way they chose to overcome that little problem was inspired (and hot!). I especially like the whole discussion of pain, about how Harry holds onto his, and suffers because that's what he knows how to do, but can't accept pleasure, because that just seems so exactly Harry. And I loved Snape's role in this, and how it was his doing that caused the Elder wand to break in the end, giving closure for Harry and Draco, but also for himself - and he so deserved it - and Dumbledore.

All in all, this was an extremely enjoyable story, and a very nice picture of poor Harry's mental and emotional state and how it settled the way he and Ginny hadn't been able to, and the plot was clever and fantastically executed. ♥

I love a good mystery, and this was very well done as a mystery, with Harry's searching for answers and all the wandlore, which made *sense*.

It's also so rare to find bdsm done WELL, but you accomplished that here, giving brilliant insights to the sub's state of mind. I wasn't sure whether to be squicked or not by Snape's presence, but you handled him well, keeping him just enough in the scene to keep control for the wandlore, but not overly so. (so that we could enjoy the Harry/Draco.

And it was unbelievably hot. Definitely going in my favorites. *g*

((ha ha, and LOVED the reference to Dumbledore in purple!))

LOL... thanks! I'm glad you liked the BDSM part. I've done it in RL, so it gives me a bit of first-hand knowledge that I can apply to a fic.

Also, as for Snape... my recipient likes any and all combinations of Harry, Draco, and Snape, and has a particular fetish for Snape giving his boys "orders" and controlling the action. It made plot-sense here, so that's how I could include it, but Harry/Draco is still my favourite combination.

Thank you again!

The wandlore was fascinating, and I think only you could have the proper enthusiasm to put it into a fic without making me feel like I'm reading a history lesson. If anyone else tried to write H/D must have BDSM sex to make everything better? It would have been utter tripe. I'm sure of it.

I have to admit - I saw BDSM, H/D with a side of Snape and tiny bit of bloodplay and scrolled on by. Any one of those things would probably turn me off... but then the reveals went up. Shit, I thought, Mijan wrote that one - I should probably read it. So it went in the bookmarks, but I kept avoiding it. Like the plague.

Today I told myself to stop being a pansy and just read it. Worst case scenario? I could skim a bit. I did not expect to like it. I could still do without the cutting (it seemed a bit superfluous, so I'm afraid I may have missed some symbolism there?) but you it work! I can absolutely buy into this Harry and Draco dynamic. Harry seems realistic. I grinned at his urge to smack Draco back and all the times he had to remind himself why he was doing this.

I even liked Snape in there, the pervy little bugger. I'm filled with glee at the idea of he and Dumbledore chatting about this in the Hogwart's Head office, scandalizing the other portraits.

LOL! I'm glad you liked it! Or, at least, I'm glad you didn't hate it! And yes, I know that a lot of people wouldn't read stuff with this level of kink, but I wrote it for my recipient, based on her requests. She liked BDSM, so I gave her BDSM.

As for the bloodplay... I debated whether or not to put it in, but really, it was necessary. There are some very intense emotions accompanied by symbolic knifeplay and bloodplay within a BDSM scene. When a person is brought up to that level of intensity, as Harry was in that scene, and is at a sharp release point, it's an extremely intense emotional release, which was exactly what Harry needed. Also, Draco's comment earlier that Harry needed to feel, to cry, and to bleed was as much literal as figurative. It's a huge release-point for Harry in that fic, where he really lets himself go.

I've actually participated in BDSM in real life, and the psychology of certain kink-acts is actually more than some kinksters handle or understand. So, don't worry about the blood-play bit there. Yes, it had a real purpose, both emotional and symbolic, for Harry. I hope that didn't ruin the fic for you.

Anyway, thanks for taking a chance to read it!

	I didn't mean to sound as though I was complaining. I was going more for a "this isn't my usual thing, but I enjoyed it" which seems a bit lost in my rambling. ;) And thanks for the explanation on the cutting. It didn't ruin the fic, I just didn't get it. It makes a lot more sense to me now. Who says fandom isn't educational? ;) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't worry! I didn't think you were complaining. You just indicated that you didn't quite understand the bloodplay stuff, so I figured I'd supply the information! I'm glad it makes more sense now. We're an educational fandom! Sex-ed is one of our specialties. :D (Reply to this) (Parent)

This was ... wow. I'm still breathless. And at a loss for words to describe how truly wonderful this story is. I think the best I can do is say that I wholeheartedly second emphatic_siren's review. Characterisation, inventiveness, hothothot sex ... completely, totally wow. I laughed, I cried (which I barely ever do reading fanfiction), and felt right along with Harry. Wah, now I'd love to see the scene where Snape tells Dumbledore what transpired. If you're expanding the fic, do you think you could work that in? Me being a predominantly Snarry shipper I'd love to know what Severus was thinking during getting his "vicarious thrills".

Anyway, thank you for sharing this wonderful story. Emphatic_siren is one lucky girl.

*adds to memories*

my GOD was that hot!!!! I loved that you actually know what you're talking about with the BDSM and the whole elder wand plot was amazingly well thought out and executed. just further proof that good sex will solve all of life's problems... XD really, I felt the cannon handling of the whole elder wand issue was a little ::cough::a lot::cough:: short-changed, so it was lovely to see it explored satisfactorily here. also, I'm glad you didnt turn Ginny into an utter hag, which would have cheapened the difficulty of Harry's choice. and excellent pacing, too. especially for a gift fic, haha, since those almost always end up getting a bit rushed.

so to summarize: amazing!! wonderful!! fantabulous!!!! haha what else can I say other than I loved it? :D~♥ I'm so glad I stumbled across this fic! even if it did distract me from the research I was *supposed* to be doing online.... ^^;;;;;

	Incredibly intense. The lines from Draco about why Harry cannot feel the pain and why he cannot accept the pleasure made SO much sense. Very, very well written. Clare (Reply to this)
