Gah. This is a weird one.

I'm at a loss. I don't even know if I like it. Hope you do, though.



He ravishes. Not eats. There is not much time between Quidditch practice and saving the world, so his sharp teeth rip and tear; he speaks from the corner of his mouth, gesturing wildly to help communicate. What he says is of no importance to me. But - how his lips close around a fork, how his tongue licks the pumpkin juice from his upper lip, fingertips push at the food that does not fit in but has to – this gets my attention. There is no time and so much to devour. I stare and he tears out big bites of my thought and concentration, chews and swallows. My throat constricts with anger and confusion at the sheer energy and life he exudes and Pansy worries why I’m so skinny. At feverish nights, I catch drops of sweat on my tongue and wonder what does he taste like.

Eventually, Malfoy fucks Potter in a narrow bathroom, pinning him to a wall between two sinks. There is a faraway pain in Malfoy’s hip as he hits cold porcelain with every thrust. Potter loses balance and in search for leverage stretches the long leg he has wrapped around Malfoy’s waist and braces his foot against a stall. Malfoy drops his right hand from where he was pushing Potter’s shoulder into the wall, wants harder, deeper, and digs his fingers in the hollow of the back of Potter’s knee, pressing him yet closer. Potter screams, throwing his head back so violently that Malfoy can hear a sickening thud on the tiles. Malfoy is staring helplessly at Potter’s taut throat as Potter comes, convulsing so hard that Malfoy comes too, completely too early. For a while they’re both panting, and then Potter scrambles down and away, puts his trousers on, while Malfoy eyes himself in a grimy mirror.

- What shot you through the ceiling? – Malfoy asks, contemptuous and distracted.
- No one has ever touched me there before – Potter answers quietly, presses his fingertips to Malfoy’s cheek and kisses him, with a bare suggestion of tongue. Leaves without another word.

Malfoy stands with his arms crossed in the middle of the bathroom for just a while, tapping his foot and feeling tears welling up in his eyes; then he whirls around, dashes to a stall and throws up.


As per usual, it seems, an anglophile great big hug to [info]longsunday for the patient beta-ing.

Absolutely, postively, mind-blowingly perfect. This was just beautiful. The mental images you conjure up leave me breathless.

Your icon is fabulous, too.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEE! *is completely graceless*

I don't know what to say. I don't know. I'll friend you instead. *does so*

Thank you.

*whispers* It's a screencap from 'Smallville', I'm afraid.

This is just... delicious. And I can't think of any other words to describe it. Very nice just isn't enough but I will say it non the less. Very very very very nice.

I stare and he tears out big bites of my thought and concentration, chews and swallows.
Love this line.

[info]tilney

April 23 2003, 16:08:47 UTC 9 years ago

Again, your icon distracts me.

Thank you, very very very very much. This isn't enough, but that's all I have;)

Now this line looks vaguely Hannibal Lecter to me. In a 'I would love to pick your brain' way o.O. But I'm glad you like it, though.

Oh. My. God. I am completely speachless. I can't believe how amazingly complex and FUCKING HOT this was. I need a fucking bucket over here! You have to, absolutely HAVE to make this into a story. I would never ask that someone do that to their drabble, but this is a HUGE exception. I can't even give you good feedback, because man, you gots to know how good this is. Shit.

[info]tilney

April 23 2003, 16:27:23 UTC 9 years ago

o.O

*gives you a bucket*

A story? Oh man, but that would require some serious thinking;). But I am tempted, if you say I should. You are Teh RoXor, anyhow!11!!1! And, God, complex? *cries helplessly* Thank youuuuu. Now I'm blushing.

It's good. It's good in this way that makes me want to throw up, and I'm not sure (because it could be the candy I ate..) how that's a compliment, because I've never been one for the eating disorders, but this. makes sense. I think. I like the sex scene, and the simple idea that someone touching you in that one little spot that hasn't been touched before would make it all so much better. But the first part is the best. In this horrifying way. Because I'm just trying to imagine the amount of love or lust you'd (have to) feel in order to not want to eat, just because other people do, in ways you never will, and it makes my heart ache (and my head hurt, but that's beside the point). And the line At feverish nights, I catch drops of sweat on my tongue and wonder what does he taste like. kills me. It just stops me up and makes me want to hug Draco. Or crawl under my blanket and tell myself fairytales to make it all better. (because you're not supposed to hug fictional characters, I guess. It's very hard.)

And yeah, now my feedback is almost as long as the story, so I'll just go.

*throws self at your feet*

I don't even know how to answer. You just hit all the right points with your comment, and made this... thing... work more than it did in my head.

*tells you a fairytale to make it all better*

Yes.

I never read H/D. When I do, I usually regret it.

Thank you, because this is beautiful and ugly at once, and that's everything the pairing should be.

[info]tilney

April 24 2003, 10:53:04 UTC 9 years ago

Yes!

I rarely write H/D;). But, you know, this time - I don't regret it;>

And you're very welcome; I really hoped it would be maybe a bit beautiful and ugly, and not just grotesque. You made me blush, Evil! Thank you so much for reading.

ps. I have seen your icon sometime ago over at [info]demon_rabbit's, and it's been haunting me ever since. It is very disturbing.

This:
My throat constricts with anger and confusion at the sheer energy and life he exudes and Pansy worries why I’m so skinny. At feverish nights, I catch drops of sweat on my tongue and wonder what does he taste like.
combined with this:
Malfoy stands with his arms crossed in the middle of the bathroom for just a while, tapping his foot and feeling tears welling up in his eyes; then he whirls around, dashes to a stall and throws up.
Make the entire drabble perfect. I love it. It makes me shiver with delight, because you've portrayed their relationship so wonderfully well, exactly as it should be.
*friends you, if you don't mind*
This was a wonderful fic.

*showers you with chocolate chips*

Thank you very very much. I'm glad you don't find it repulsive, I was worried about squicking the hell out of people;) And I'm glad to make you shiver!

Of course I don't mind! *friends you back*
You're friends with [info]thieving_gypsy, aren't you? Do you know how she is doing? I miss her, she's so rarely on.

woo!

Wow i like that ending there. Its cool how it jumps from eating to fucking, very hot. Plus i love the random fucking in a stall, very nice. And the throws up at the end, perfect. A+ drabble!

[info]tilney

April 24 2003, 10:54:36 UTC 9 years ago

Wheee!

You know a woman by how she ends, as they say.

Do they say that?

I'm very glad you liked it; eating and fucking, well. Just me and my oral fixation;)) Thank you thank you!

April 23 2003, 21:12:42 UTC 9 years ago

God damn, this is sexy.

The words are smooth and sharp and perfect, the sex is hot, and the last line's a killer.

Malfoy stands with his arms crossed in the middle of the bathroom for just a while, tapping his foot and feeling tears welling up in his eyes; then he whirls around, dashes to a stall and throws up.

Love it.

April 24 2003, 11:03:21 UTC 9 years ago

Sexy! *blisses out*

*squees* You are so nice! And the description, it just makes me want to reread my own drabble;). And I'm so glad you found it hot, not eeeewwww. Thank you!

ps. Briaaaaaan.

Haha!

[info]tilney

April 24 2003, 10:49:48 UTC 9 years ago

It's so easy to be sarcastic after sex, isn't it?

It's my favourite line.

But what I'm really thinking is: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Thank you <3. /embarrassing glee.

April 24 2003, 04:36:10 UTC 9 years ago

adore this. adore it. wordlessly gaping and trembling with overwhelmed amazement. YES. like seeing something right, completely bang-on, inevitable and emotional and powerful, all there, right there in their actions and emotions and just so -vivid-, inescapably blatant and -real- and raw and gaaaaahhhhd, i hope you write moooooore h/d because this is... just. beautiful in all its pain.

the hunger at the beginning, all streaming and needing and sosososo hungry you can -feel- it, you can -see- it.
and then the end, it blew me away, mostly harry being gentle and malfoy pretending and harry kissing him and then malfoy crumpling, just crumpling like that. i just have no words. it has all the startling emotional revelatory power of a really good poem. malfoy throwing up, after the hunger imagery at the beginning was a bloody revelation.

the viciousness and the need and the inability to -swallow- and -have- and -retain-. gah. brilliant.

[info]tilney

April 24 2003, 11:12:27 UTC 9 years ago

*hyperventilates*

I have seen you giving feedback to a lot of people and always wondered how would it feel to actually have someone talk to me like that about what I have written. And now I know, and it's bliss. Thank you ever so much, and I'm just a bit incoherent, because you just get everything, the things I wasn't sure were clear or ever there, and Draco's inability to -swallow- and -have- and -retain-. just sums up it all and is everything and so much more of and about this drabble. Oh my God. You are lovely. And Draco crumpling, yesyesyes, that's what he does. Poor baby;>.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Thank you, ever ever so much.
Oh, and there are some more drabbles in my memories, should you be so inclined.

I am honest-to-God crying right now because I HATE H/D with a passion that burns my soul...

...but I really really liked this.

April 24 2003, 14:28:31 UTC 9 years ago

I'm so sorry. I'm sorry that it made you question your beliefs (yes, I stalk Phdru's LJ), I'm so sorry to have made you cry, but hey. Discovering new territories, and all that, eh? *rubs your back* Just relax and enjoy yourself. Don't worry, I'll probably write McGonagall/Mrs Norris next o.O.

Thank you, thank you all the more. It means a lot to me that you overcame your H/D hate and actually read it. And commented. *muah*

Oh dear. I am so incredibly flattered! Thank you so much. I have an obsession with 'Original', so. :)

Perfectly succint -- could not add or subtract one word from this to improve it. Flawless. *adds to memories* I think I have to friend you. And find time to read your other stuff!
