Who will be the victor in this duel? The prize for winning--or losing--isn't what Draco thinks.

Ack!
Funny, but you saw it coming! I was expecting a bigger rabbit out of that hat!
Author's Response: Sorry to disappoint. They can't all be winners. All of the extreme smut left a sour taste, so it was nice to write something harmless, even if it was rather bland.
Try The Prefects' Party. I guarantee you won't see that one coming. *winks*
So is the prize from the title alluding to the one that you should win for writing the most dangerous foreplay scene? What I love about Draco and Harry is that they always seem to be straddling the fine line between hatred and passion, and you've got them figured out quite well. As for Draco's scars, his are probably not so much physical, but mental/ social/ emotional, but if there are any, I get the feeling Harry is about to find them ;)

Oooh! I'm so glad you liked this little fluff one. I actually kind of enjoyed writing it. It was fun and fresh and cute, and you know I love those two boys! I am all bummed that it didn't win, but slowly dragging you over to the slash side with my skills is prize enough for me! *grins madly*
Nice prize. :)
Response from Keppiehed (Author of The Prize)
*sighs dreamily* I know, aren't they the lucky ones?Thanks so much for reading it!
Boys! Really! Did they really need to fight to go there? *shakes head*
Response from Keppiehed (Author of The Prize)
Of course they needed a reason, those two! *laughs*Thanks, as always, for reading it!
The transition from fighting to attraction is nicely done.
Response from Keppiehed (Author of The Prize)
Thank you! I think I'm getting the hang of H/D, at long last.I also want to take this chance to thank you for reading Princes in Exile! I see your reviews over there, but I can't respond to you because it isn't posted on my account. I hope that you are enjoying it, and I really appreciated that you took the time to get through all the chapters over there. That one has been a lot of fun to write, and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it!

Yeah. Liking that with the alternating POV & alternating authors. Your styles are different enough for the 2 characters, but not too dissimilar to be jarring. Good work the 2 of you.
Response from Keppiehed (Author of The Prize)
Thanks! I thought we would work okay together. I know that changing POVs can be irritating, but I thought it might be fun for this one. Don't worry, we won't string you along forever. The good stuff is just starting to happen! I am glad that you are sticking with us. Most people are hating Draco. Literaryspell and I have a side bet going about how many people like Harry vs. Draco. I thought everyone would like Draco better, hands down, and I have had my ass handed to me. *pouts*

Jurt's out still. The alcoholic ne'erdwell or the magicless daddy's boy?
Response from Keppiehed (Author of The Prize)
*pushes you towards daddy's boy*
Response from quaffswinegaily (Reviewer)
Sorry - should read "jury's out" - too many wines already
Response from Keppiehed (Author of The Prize)
It's okay, I was on the same wavelength! It's 7am here. You are awesome!!! Way to live up to your name! *bows down to you*
Response from quaffswinegaily (Reviewer)
It is NOT 7am here. I promise. Gads! Even I can't stomach too many wines before breakfast!
Response from Keppiehed (Author of The Prize)
Well, at least you don't have too much of a problem, then. It's better if it is AFTER your pancakes when you start gaily quaffing your wine. ;)
Response from quaffswinegaily (Reviewer)
I resemble that insinuation!
Yow! A lot easier to read than the other fic you put up today- angry semi-evil fucking is kind of hard to take sometimes. Not that it was a bad story; it just made me cringe. But this? Interesting dynamic between the two boys (young men, I suppose). I like how the timing and setting are ambiguous. It could be anywhere, though the 'scar-faced loser' line rather implies they're still quite young. Even pre-war, since you kind of hope Draco would grow out of name-calling. Not overdoing the kissy bit was definitely a good move. Keep it neat, and end it before one of them punches the other!
Response from Keppiehed (Author of The Prize)
LOL! I can take complete credit for this story. The other one mostly goes to my co-author, as I had lost my sharp edge and had to call her in for help with tha one. This one was refreshing to write, and I quite enjoyed it. It was nice to write something simple. I agree with you there. Ahhh... too bad it didn't win!Thanks for reading it. I'm glad you enjoyed it, too!
