Oh, I loved this. I almost didn't read it because this is one of the very few triggers for me, but I just knew you could do with it what needed to be done and I wasn't disappointed.
I was almost in tears for Harry's opening segment. It was just so hopeless and so easy to see. I love the way you framed it with a similar part from Harry at the end. The snake metaphor, devouring something whole, is something even Draco picked up on, giving me the sense of an almost vore-like kink.
Your language is beautiful, varied and detailed, and the sense I got of the candy, of the room, of Harry, of the backstory (Draco's horrible holiday, the Sirius misunderstanding) were all lovingly laid out like a buffet.
I love that Draco wasn't confused by Harry's need, nor was he judgmental. He was so accepting, so loving, and I thought that was really special. It could have been ugly and cruel, that moment of realisation, but it wasn't, and I'm so glad for that.
Anyway, an amazing fic that I'm glad I was brave enough to read (seems strange to say about this kink while BDSM and chan and non-con is all totally fine, but that's how it is :D). Thank you for sharing it!
