HD_ERISED FIC CLAIM: (The Piece) I Was Missing All Along

[lauren3210]

Whoop whoop, I can finally claim my fic! I feel like I've been waiting for ever to claim this one (because for some evil reason those sneaky mods put me FIRST why, why would you do that to me?)! I had such a great time working on this, and I'm so completely chuffed that amorette enjoyed it. And all the comments were awesome, and I can't wait to start replying to them!

Title: (The Piece) I was Missing All Along
Author: lauren3210
Recipient: amorette
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~31,000
Warnings:
Infidelity against an OMC nobody cares about

Content/Enticements: Boys being dumb, girls rolling their eyes at them, and a game or two of Quidditch?
Summary: Draco and Harry have been flatmates and best friends for years, and Draco thinks life is just perfect that way. But when something comes along and threatens to take all that away, Draco has to decide what it is he really wants, and just how hard he's going to work to get it.
Author's Notes: To my dear amorette, I had a wonderful time writing for you. I don't think I managed to get in everything that you listed, but I hope that what I came up with captured the feel of the type of fic you enjoy reading the most. A big thanks to the mods for matching me up so perfectly, as well as their continual awesomeness; to my beta for pointing out all my many mistakes, and to kedavranox and melusinahp for helping me back on Amorette's track when I floundered. You guys all rock!

LOL! I'm kind of glad you went first though because your story, dear Lord, your story... I loved it SFM! I was breathless after reading it. It was so perfect. I didn't even know what to say, and all I could think was 'Well, they've certainly started with a bang this year!' ♥ Also, you should probably link it there so we can click! ♥

Ohmygod, your comment made my day and I couldn't stop squealing like a mad woman over it, thank you so much! Also I screamed like a 4 year old presented with a fucking tarantula when I saw I'd been posted first, I couldn't fucking believe it!

And oops, how did I forget that? Thanks for the heads up sweetie!

I love, love, love this fic! I could hardly wait for reveals, so I could properly express my appreciation to real person. This was just a wonderful read. Poor Harry, he waited, but he finally had to move on and it was so painful to read! It got frighteningly close to that wedding! Talk about last minute changes! Anyway, I love it all. There was not one thing that I didn't love.
