"A lie mixed with the truth," that seems to be a main theme of this story as most every character either employs or advocates it. And the further I fall into this plot, the harder it becomes for me to recognize lies and truths for what they are. Draco's thoughts are so persuasive and I am trying desperately to separate my own from his, is Harry truly being reckless with his portrayal of Brian or can Draco only see, and distinguish, the signs for what they are because he already knows "Brian's" secret? I am finding it quite difficult to make the distinction between what I think and what Draco is convincing me to think, does Brian actually look so much like Harry that when his features are relaxed it should be obvious? I'm wondering if Draco is simply trying to feel less duped by telling himself he would have figured it out eventually. I love the constant insight you give into Draco and Harry's minds, they are both so complex and intense in every movement they make. I truly love this story and your depiction of each and every character. They are so personable even when they are trying not to be and even though their plans and actions pertain to something so convoluted and exotic, it still feels very relatable, and again, I attribute this to your wonderful writing of it. Thank you for sharing! Update soon!

I can't wait for the next chapter.. I wonder if Draco is now going to let Harry know that he knows his secret?

Wow! I just have to say wow because Harry is like a puppet master at manipulating everyone but Draco,who he's actually trying to manipulate. If things continue this way (which i hope they do), then Harry will fall into the trap that Draco is setting for him. I love the idea of a confrontation between Harry and Draco when Draco decides to bring it up. Way to go! You've definatly have got me hooked! I can't wit for your next chapter!

Sooo need chapter 18!!! I'm stunned that Draco took him to the manor. Will Lucius protect them?

I found this chapter closer to home than many of the others, like I said in one of my earlier reviews, I am a theater major, so the concept of Draco and Harry building the base of their revolution in a play, a way to get the message out, touched me. I also found it endearing to see Harry in a moment of weakness around Draco. It is one of the irrepressible 'Harry Potter' traits that he feels the urge to save people from untoward consequences. Also, it is a kind of test, true, one that Harry didn't plan, for Draco too be in control of Harry in this moment of weakness. To see what he does. Whether he goes for the throat or not. Harry the damsel....well the magical powerhouse, ass kicking damsel anyway.
Thank you,

Another great chapter! Wish I could write you a better review-- but I'm about to drop dead from exhaustion! This chapter was a pleasant surprise that I just had to partake in before bed!

Ya know recently i was thinking this story has a vaguely clock and dagger ish feel to it. And for some odd reason I've also wanted Harry in a position like the one you just put him in at the end of the story maybe for vulnerability I'm not sure. I like his last semi conscious astonished thought.

Is it just my IE or is chapter 17 empty? Are you teasing me or just trying to make me think I've gone insane?

Wow, Harry is ever the guardian, isn't he. I hope Draco just admits eventually that he knows Brian is Potter - they need to get it out of the way so they can get to the hot monkey sex. >_> Though honestly I'm enjoying the mild suspense and don't care so much about them romping as them discovering they really are perfect together. Another wonderful read, can't wait for the next chapter!
