Summary:

Draco licks his lips. He shuts his eyes, because he doesn't think he can look at Potter when he says it. When he asks for it. "One finger?"

---

This very much looks like it has no plot, but I beg to differ. There is indeed a story here, about how frenemies with benefits evolved into something more, something that they might even be ready to commit to. But it’s a story told between the lines, in the fringes of steamy action, in the conjecture, in the oddly sweet slips of tongue that might begin with the words “Draco don't hex me, but...”

In short, this is the best kind of smutfic, where the sex is not an end unto itself, but a mirror that gives deeper insight into the characters’ relationship by showing how they communicate, how they touch, how they trust.

Which brings me to my third and final point: no matter how hot communication and trust might be (and yes I think they’re smoking!), personally I feel they play second fiddle to touch here. Because, well, hands. And what is -- even from my somewhat biased point of view *cough handkink cough* -- one of the most gorgeous fingering scenes I’ve ever read. It’s just… MWAH ♥ ♥ ♥ Anyway, go on, read it already, you can thank me later!
