Reveals went up yesterday at hd_fan_fair, which means it's time to reveal my fic! This was actually my first time EVER participating in Fan Fair, despite being a massive fan of the fest for years. The timing of it has always coincided with a lot of busyness for me both IRL and in fandom, but I'm really glad I said 'fuck it' this year, and participated anyway. ;)

I've actually been wanting to write a fic like this for awhile now, and even though I hadn't planned on participating in this year's fest, when I saw the hand feeding prompt, I knew this was my chance! Partway through writing my fic, however, my brain decided that my outline wasn't actually telling enough of the story, and what I really needed to was essentially double what I'd planned to write and add in some ~past~ scenes to flesh out how Harry and Draco got to where they are. This was a very unwelcome realization, as I was in the middle of modding hell (all four of the fests I mod have very major events in August), just took on a new position at work that I was under-trained for, and had a planned vacation shortly before the fic deadline. O_O

Somehow, I managed to pull it all together, and was even able to submit the fic a day before the deadline! Anyway, this fic definitely has some content that will not appeal, so it's A-OK if you need to give it a pass. I wanted to really challenge myself with this one, so I wrote a lot of things I don't normally write or read myself!

Author's Notes: Huge massive thanks to kedavranox & nerdherderette for being the best humans and looking this fic over for me! Your input was invaluable, and I so appreciate your help in whipping this fic into shape. ♥ Another thanks to my prompter for such an inspiring scenario! I know this is probably not quite the direction you had in mind, but this was the story that was begging me to be written, so I hope you'll forgive me! Finally, all the kudos to the mods for hosting this fest! It's always been one of my favs in this fandom, and it was a pleasure to participate this year.
