June Daily Deviant  
It's that time of the month again, so here I am with another fic for [livejournal.com profile] daily_deviant! This month's theme was definitely a fun challenge, and I thought I'd push myself to try something a little different. I hope you'll give it a try!

Title: Bite to Break Skin
Author: [livejournal.com profile] gracerene
Characters/Pairings: Draco Malfoy/Theo Nott, Draco Malfoy/Astoria Greengrass
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~3,300
Monthly Theme: The ABCs of Sex
Letter Assigned: V
Kinks/Themes Included: *highlight for spoilers: infidelity, creature!fic, past relationship, anal sex, ambiguous ending
Summary/Description: When Theo returns to Britain after several years abroad, he reawakens feelings in Draco that he thought were long suppressed. Draco's determined to maintain a friendly distance, but it's clear that Theo has other plans.
Author's Notes: This was such a fun theme! I went back and forth a lot trying to decide what to go with, but I'm pretty happy with what I ended up writing. If possible, I'd recommend that you don't read the warnings under the spoiler cut, as, well, they contain spoilers. ;)

Thanks so much to [livejournal.com profile] _melodic_ and [livejournal.com profile] indyonblue for reading this one over for me!

Hmm, I do enjoy a good Vampire fic. Although I've never been a fan of Theo, this was just too good to miss.

Thanks so much! I'm fairly neutral on Theo, and this was actually my first time writing him, but for some reason this pairing just called to me this month!

Thanks so much for reading!

LOL! I thought the same thing when I saw you posted your James/Albus fic today! So funny that we posted them at practically the same time. :D

Oh my goodness, I know! I pressed post on the fiction and then went to check my friends feed to look at it and I saw yours! Hah I thought the timing was just perfect! Our mutual fandom brain waves <3

That was delicious and delightful! I'm afraid I spoiled myself for the vampire aspect, but I still very much enjoyed all the foreshadowing and hints, and then the reveal - so dark! Am I correct that Draco is meeting a sticky end? Poor darling, it's a good thing he has so many lives.

Thank you so much! I don't think I was all that sneaky about the Vampire aspect, even if you hadn't spoiled it, but I'm glad you enjoyed the little hints along the way. I wanted to go the whole fic without actually using the word Vampire, while still not leaving any doubts as to what Theo was... :)

As for Draco's fate...that's up to you! LOL, I couldn't decide how I wanted to end things, so I thought ambiguous was the way to go. ;)

I've just re-read and enjoyed it again! I love the ambiguous ending - it was the best way to finish the story.

Thank you so much! I'm super happy you liked this one, and that you enjoyed the ambiguous ending! Thanks again for offering to beta. <3
