My HD-Cliche entry [podfic] PLUS… Beautiful Cover ART by Citrus Lime!

She hasn't posted it to her journal/tumblr yet, but if you tell her you love it in the comments here, I'll definitely make sure she reads them.

Notes: I wrote this fic last year for an a/b/o fest and it was HARD! This (creature/mates) cliche isn't my usual cuppa, though I find it hot as hell, and I found it a real challenge to write it in a way that worked for me. Now, it's my most successful fic on Ao3 (mind boggles) and with the added bonus of the gorgeous cover art by [livejournal.com profile] citrus_lime, I hope it makes for a successful podfic.
Author's summary: It's not easy to make a living when your past misdeeds colour your life, but when the saviour of the wizarding world offers a possible way out, Draco Malfoy isn't stupid enough to let the opportunity pass.

LOVED THIS! Your reading is beautiful, as usual -- and I hadn't actually read this story before! :D I'm not a big fan of A/B/O either, but I actually loved it here! ♥ I can see why this story is so popular. You did something very different with the trope here, and it was such a joy to read! :)

I really liked Draco's voice in this, he's so desperate and ashamed of the lycanthropy thing (I LOVE HOW HE EVEN CALLS IT THAT! :'D), but at the same time, God, he's a survivor. And a really stubborn one at that! And I love that about him ♥ I loved how the boys remained human (and not just physically, but inside their heads as well!) I loved reading Draco's thoughts opposing his instincts even when his body couldn't :')

Thanks so much! This is a fabulous comment and I'm so happy you liked the story so much and picked up on my attempt at turning the genre a bit on its head.
