Also, you make me want to read Pratchett's watchguard series--which book is the first one?
And gawd! I didn't realize the reverse fairy tale going on there. SnowWhite!Draco bwahahahaha.
I personally think Draco's oblivious to Harry's attraction to him. I think this Harry has grown up and become more observant--and consequently, more in control of the signals he broadcast.
It seems like nobody has a clue whatsoever that Harry's yearning for Draco with his whole being--so I think it makes perfect sense for Draco to be oblivious. Add to that Draco's fundamental fear that he's never good enough for Harry, even as a partner (at least until Harry "crawls back" to him).
Also, although I identify most with IYaRM!Draco, DDG!Draco is slowly but surely inching to the position of my most favoritest Draco ever.
P.S. Have you read any kc_anathema's stories? You won't like her "Wings Eclipsing Night" series, but you'd probably like her Oath Breaker series. It's hmm...high fantasy, if I understand the term correctly. So, forget canon for a bit--and imagine the everpresent tension between Dark and Light.
HP/DM, LM/SS (in the future), AU 6th year, WIP At the start of seventh year, the Malfoys perform a dramatic double-cross and Draco educates Harry about what exactly dark magic is.
This is what's missing from Rowling's world: meaningful demarcation between "Light" and "Dark" magic. As opposed to 15 y.o. kids defeating the big bad Death Eaters (who have the Unforgivables in their arsenal) with jelly-legs jinx.
I think you'd also like her "Paper Dragons" Draco-centric one-shot, pre-slash, where Draco works on catching something rather precious to him.
This is the fic that made me stop and take notice of her.
DDG
Will most definitely rec this on my LJ.
*memories*
