I'm not a Sirius fan nor a slash reader, but I love dubcon and my Draco so I clicked. This was fantastic! I loved the entire thing. Draco's frustrations and childhood potions history as well as Sirius's protectiveness were perfect.

I loved how smart you made Draco too! When Sirius (and I) figured everything out, (awesome moment) I was worried that Draco would be long gone, but the ending was wonderful!

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you stretched outside your comfort zone to read the fic. To be honest, I'm not really a Sirius fan, either, so it stretched my comfort zone just to write it! LOL.

This was really wonderful in a kinky and oh-so-wrong kind of way. I love the way Draco never really changed who he was even if he did change his mind. And Sirius, with his slightly selfish personality tempered only by his heart and the desire to make things better for Draco; just loved him. I really loved this!!!

November 9 2009, 17:19:47 UTC 2 years ago

Thank you! I'm a big fan of kinky and oh-so-wrong. ;-)

October 4 2009, 03:06:28 UTC 2 years ago

This was fantastic! Considering how Sirius and Draco were forced together they really seemed to care about each other by the end. I loved how calculating Draco was, he'd left enough hints for Sirius to be able to figure out what he was upto but Sirius was too wrapped up in trying to keep Draco safe as well as Order business etc. to notice what was going on under his nose.

The sex was so sweet, tender and hot!

November 9 2009, 17:20:51 UTC 2 years ago

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks! :-)

That was absolutely wonderful. One of my favourite rarepairs, and such a great plot and brilliant characterisation all round. You made me feel for all of them - Narcissa, Sirius, Draco in particular, even poor Harry who's plainly overwhelmed by things.

Sirius is so amazingly decent, and I loved the slow way he's drawing Draco out of his defensive. And I loved even more that Draco actually manages to plot himself to 'freedom' in such an elaborate, brilliant way. And *then* decides to stay - that was so beautiful I sniffled at the end :).

The sex is wonderful too with Sirius being so careful and yet so turned on by his 'husband', and the way Draco responds :). Utterly amazing fic!

November 9 2009, 17:24:51 UTC 2 years ago

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I'm particularly relieved to know that the characterization came off well (I've never written Sirius before).

Wonderful. It was nice to see what Narcissa could do to protect his son. I loved the ending, how Draco could have escaped if he wanted, but he didn't. There can never be enough Sirius/Draco, and this was brilliant. Very enjoyable, thank you for writing.

November 9 2009, 17:25:31 UTC 2 years ago

Thank you for reading! :-)

That was absolutely brilliant! I loved every minute of this fic and you really made the pairing grow on me :D

I really loved this!

Ah, that was just an awesome piece of work for my OTP! I loved it from the beginning to the end. Draco being so incredible calculating but staying who he really is the whole time was so well written. I always thought about what he might have planned, especially in the end as he clung to Sirius so badly. I really liked the happy ending, though. I already saw them messing everything up. :D

I adored the Padfoot scenes, btw, always love to picture Draco cuddling with a black dog, although, of course, human!Sirius was better. :D Oh, and the little Snaco moment in there was probably just in my mind... but it was great. I loved Sirius vs. Snape.

Thank you so much for this beautiful fic. It really made my day!

November 9 2009, 17:28:18 UTC 2 years ago

Thank you! And no, the Snaco moment was definitely not just in your mind, LOL. Snape/Draco is probably the closest thing I have to an OTP; even if the main pairing of the story isn't Snaco I tend to sneak it in somehow. ;-)

I only clicked on this because I saw the pairing and the dub-con and thought that it would be a bit of kinky fun, and then you went and made it all plotty and awesome and I couldn't stop reading.

I loved Harry getting all squicked out by the noise lol. Sirius using his doggy form to help comfort Draco was really sweet. I'm so glad I clicked, what a great fic! Thanks for sharing it. :)

November 9 2009, 17:29:33 UTC 2 years ago

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

October 5 2009, 03:54:40 UTC 2 years ago

I really liked this! The characters were really well written, and I really enjoyed Sirius's sense of humor woven throughout. And, needless to say, the sex was the right mixture of kinky, hot, and sweet.

Thanks for writing such a wonderful read!

November 9 2009, 17:30:25 UTC 2 years ago

Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear Sirius came off well; it's the first time I've written him.

October 5 2009, 06:45:02 UTC 2 years ago

this story was fantastic

That was absolutely incredible!!! My feelings kept battling over the dub!con element in this story but it was so beautifully done, I couldn't help but be cheering for the pair of them by the end! There were so many truly hilarious parts (Harry at the breakfast table the morning after Draco's 'seduction'.. Omg, LOLZ!!!) and so many parts that just brought tears to my eyes instead (Lucius' use of the potions on Draco) and was really a perfect mix. I am so very glad to have read this brilliant, insightful and rather sexy story. It was perfect!! :)

November 9 2009, 17:33:41 UTC 2 years ago

Thank you so much! I know dub!con can be difficult to read (it was a little difficult to write). I'm really glad you enjoyed it.

Loved this. I was up way too early this morning, and this was a lovely comfort. Everyone in this slots perfectly into how they are in canon-- great job.

November 9 2009, 17:34:59 UTC 2 years ago

Thank you! I definitely tried to adhere to canon as much as possible, so it's nice to hear I managed it. :-)

Ooo such a good story :) I've never read this pairing, but this fic has intrigued me to perhaps read more :)

The premise is not new, but I've never read it with these two characters and their dynamic made it new. I love the twist of Draco's plan at the end and how it still failed. Draco is a planner, he is smart, but they always fail, don't they?

Wonderful job!

I don't think his plan DID fail actually. With Sirius at Hogwarts and unable to hear the wards going off, Draco had ample opportunity to leave. His plan succeeded. It's just that he CHANGED his mind. By the time Sirius got there, Draco had been sitting there waiting for ten minutes. Definitely not a failure. Just a change of heart I think :)

I read this story yesterday and now again. I'm in awe. I had squee fits every few minutes because your characterisation is just perfect.
Despite how we know that Sirius can be quite a bastard at times it was so good to see him behave like a responsible adult. Mature!Sirius is not something we get to see often. It's such a great thing that Narcissa decided to trust Sirius instead of Snape, he certainly had a better time than shacked up at Spinners End.
I loved Sirius' reaction to the news, this mixture of humour and sarcasm and shock. And Asylum Generis is such an interesting concept; it sounds like something pure bloods would think of. A bit cruel and very Slytherin.
Loved the banter between Sirius and Remus, and their unusual 'Bachelor party'.
And in the Headmaster's office... surprise surprise, Sirius likes what he sees:) I was sorry for Draco when he was shredding silent tears throughout the ceremony after being spelled to calm down.

It is so Draco to be arrogant and insulting rather than show his fear. Good thing that Sirius really made an effort to handle the matters level-headedly (and if needed, like a true Slytherin would). I liked how Draco instantly took a liking to Kreacher after he discovered that the elf disliked Sirius;)

It was the consummation scene where the age difference could be seen clearly. Draco's innocence surprised even Sirius. First he was so timid and unresponsive, and then he probably couldn't believe his own willingness. Plus Sirius was so selfless just to make it good for Draco. And I still wonder who Draco was thinking of when he shut his eyes...

Oh, and I love that Snape always manages to bring out the worst in Sirius and how it's always Remus who reestablishes the order. Draco/Padfoot is the cutest thing ever. It's funny to see the parallel between the Sirius-Snape and Harry-Draco interactions.
It tells so much about Sirius' changing attitude towards Draco that he's actually proud of Draco O.W.L.s (just as much as he is of Harry). It's a small thing but somehow it reveals a lot about Draco's background and the constant feeling of inadequacy. And I'm not even talking about Lucius' little stunt with the anti-anxiety potions.
And how I loved Harry's conversation with Sirius the morning after. Harry was relatively cool with it.
Oh, Draco and his Slytherin ways! He even gave pointers to Remus, but successfully tricked Sirius. Still, good thing he changed his mind about leaving:)
What I liked most is the way you built up their relationship without changing who they were. You presented such a wide range of emotions on both sides, and I think both learnt a thing or two about themselves. In the end Draco started to see beyond his father's expectations and Sirius learnt not to underestimate the cunning of a sixteen year old.
I loved it all. The emotions, the hotness, the characters.

Thank you so much for writing!

November 9 2009, 17:44:44 UTC 2 years ago

Wow, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I purposely left the identity of Draco's imaginary lover unrevealed because I wanted to reader to be able to choose who it was for themselves. But if you want to know who I personally imagined it to be, then it was Snape. ;-)

I did like this. It was the first time that I've ever read this pairing and you've written it so well that you'll be a very hard act to live up to. I loved Draco in this he was very much the petulant child and yet at the same time he was fragile and vulnerable, he certainly brought the best of Sirius to the fore. I liked the way that Sirius grew up a little and grew to be both fond of and protective of Draco.

And Harry's morning after reaction was FTW!!

Wonderful story, which is going right on my favs list.

*hugs*

Thank you so much! The rare pairing is actually one of the things that drew me to the prompt. How could I resist the challenge of writing Sirius/Draco? LOL.

Oh wow. This was surprising and hot and really well written. I love how they came together slowly, how Draco didn't compromise himself and neither did Sirius, but somehow, it worked. Lovely.

November 9 2009, 17:46:29 UTC 2 years ago

Thank you so much!

I spent the afternoon reading this fic. It's DELISH. The sex is fantastically hot, but the characterisation, the writing and plot are what sold me on this fic. I love that 'Draco is 16' is not just a warning. It's a plot point!

The forced marriage bit is done very well. Draco is neither simpering, nor unsympathetic. He is well played as both vulnerable and cunning. Sirius is a mess of guilt and lust. They make a delicious pair. A great read from beginning to end.

also, Harry hearing them? hahahahhaha!!! And Snape's jealousy? Oh! so well done.

I also love the way you worked this AU between OoTP and HBP. A great deviation from canon without tons of need for re-telling.

November 9 2009, 17:47:47 UTC 2 years ago

Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear that the characterization came across the way I wanted it to - that was my main concern. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

October 6 2009, 03:20:13 UTC 2 years ago

wow this was really great. I've never read this pairing, but it just worked. It had some lovely kink to it and the sex was hot. I love how devious Draco is, and how I felt the sinking feeling at the same time as Sirius when he realized things. wonderful work!

November 9 2009, 17:48:18 UTC 2 years ago

Thank you very much!

October 6 2009, 05:43:33 UTC 2 years ago

Wow. Holy Toledo. WOW.

This fic had me on the edge from its very first paragraph. Your characterisations, your plot, your pacing . . . EVERYTHING WAS FANTASTIC. Well done, mystery writer. Well done.

November 9 2009, 17:48:52 UTC 2 years ago

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :-)
