First - please to be excusing typos (and rambling) here. I've just taken my night-time painkillers and my brain is mush but I have to get this out...

A while back, back when I was basically a n00b to fandom, I signed up for [livejournal.com profile] slashfest and claimed something by [livejournal.com profile] furiosity. The story that came out of it is Hands that I was and still am fairly proud of. It was one of the first things I ever had rec'd in a newsletter and I still have the issue bookmarked (yes, ok, I'm a dork).

Fast forward to [livejournal.com profile] hd_remix where I didn't list any safe stories. I put my faith in the other writers and decided to let them have free reign/rein/rain (sod it if I can remember which one I mean right now). If I had picked safe stories, there were two that I would have chosen - Hands and Moments.

The Months of Poker in Manchester takes Hands and improves it so very much that I really can't claim the original because the remix is so much more than anything I could possibly have ever written. I'm so very glad I didn't pick any safe stories. I would have hated to miss out on this.

The story is sharp, witty, and amazing. I pinged quite a few people on my flist begging for help in what to say because, honestly, all I could think was "fucking brilliant". This truly is fucking brilliant and you seriously will not be disappointed in it.

There are so many little details that the anonymous author has incorporated in here to make this hers (his) that she (he) has overwhelmed me. She (He) makes my dialogue seem witty and painful but true, so very very true to how I see Harry and Draco. They're dysfunctional and symbiotic and breathtaking. I must have stared at the screen for a good long while just absorbing the entirety of this.

I hope every single person that participates in [livejournal.com profile] hd_remix gets something equally as amazing as what I received.

Also - have a song. It's from The Constant Gardener and is Justin's Lament. I've had this on repeat all day as I've been writing. Painful and beautiful.

Picspam is tomorrow as I didn't get near what I wanted to accomplish done. Sorry.
