This was fantastic! I adore fic written in Draco's POV. And your Draco was snarky, devious, and hot! OMG...the rimming and then the sex was so incredibly hot. This is the type of fic I like to read again and again. I especially like how Harry had orchestrated the whole scheme and Draco completely missed it. Very Slytherin of Harry.

It was all great, but this was my fav part because it encompasses Draco perfectly.

"Look, I know that fucking my partner is not a great idea. I’m not planning on fucking him, anyway. I mean, if he begged me I wouldn’t make him go unsatisfied. But I’m not fucking him, I’m just having a bit of fun. It’s harmless."

Gosh, what a wonderful comment! These are the kinds of comments every writer wants to receive! I love writing Draco's POV in first person so I am really glad that worked for you. I also have a kink for writing Slytherin!Harry getting one over on a very smug Draco - I would say that's my fave trope in the world.
