This story works so well in first person, which is incredibly hard to achieve. Draco's point-of-view was stunning.
I've always found Legilimency to be incredibly alluring, and my, was this ever. The give and take between the two of them, the vulnerability that exists between them both because of their shared history, no matter how tainted, is just magical.
And of course Harry isn't that dreadful at Occulmency. Such a little Slytherin underneath his pining Griffyndor heart.
Some of my favorite lines and sections:
After all, what living wizard could come close to my experience, what with keeping my seditious thoughts private from the Dark Asshole for over a year? My Occlumency skills were and are unparalleled.
I have often thought of those fingers, those hands—the power inherent in them, and what they could do to me. I would switch for him—I yearn to dominate him but I would kneel for him, too.
God, I can't. This is everything. The fact that no one gets Draco like Harry does, and that he's willing to admit it, even if it's just in his mind -- yes.
Now I let myself go a little, my hips gracefully pumping in and out, over and over. Potter takes it like he was made for it. I can’t believe this responsive body underneath me was an innocent to penetration just minutes ago. I lose myself in the feel of him, virginally tight, volcanically hot. I’m making sounds myself, sounds I don’t normally make but I don’t care. I don’t care. I want to be here, right here, for the rest of my life. I look down at him again, he’s biting his lip and fuck— a pang bursts through me, I can’t handle the sight of him.
I think you're trying to kill me. I'm nearly dead. This was so well done ... sigh. Loved it.
