This was really wonderful. I usually don't like non-magical AUs very much, but in this one I got so caught up in the rich, lush story that I forgot there wasn't any magic. It just didn't matter. Oops. I loved how you slipped canon in here and there and your depiction of Lucius was very like he is in my head so I really enjoyed that bit. The rescue of Harry where Lucius and Harry actually worked together was probably my favorite bit. Funny how you'll probably get everyone finding their favorite bit where their favorite character shows up...lol. But you really portrayed him just so fun--a perfect combination of snark, the smirk, arrogance and beauty. This was really well written and I enjoyed it very much. Thanks so much for sharing it!
