[nia_kantorka]

Yes, I wrote something as well. Thank you for all the lovely comments! I can't wait to start to replying properly now.

Title: The Art Thief
Author: nia_kantorka
Recipient: iwao and this_bloody_cat
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~21,000
Warnings: top!Draco, implied switching
Content/Enticements: extensive use of paint, artiness
Summary: When an art thief steals one of Harry Potter’s paintings the Minister of Magic requests one of his best Aurors on that case. Draco Malfoy is not amused.
Author's Notes: ¡Feliz Navidad! Happy Christmas iwao and this_bloody_cat!
When I learned about my giftees I was simultaneously excited and frightened. You are both so talented artists and know all about writing a good fic. That was quite intimidating but I gave my best. Your wish lists and some LJ stalking helped. I found a lovely unclaimed prompt by this_bloody_cat which immediately spoke to me. I adjusted it slightly and I really hope Harry’s art will speak to both your artists’ senses. If not, blame me.
Sadly, I failed to give TBC a bottom!Draco. Harry just had a mind of his own. But I implied switching and hope that’s ok. (If I had had more time, I would have let the boys have more fun.)
Thank you, lumosed_quill, for giving me some feedback on the idea. Without my lovely alphas, candamira and capitu, this fic would have never been started much less finished. I’m so lucky to have both of you and there is no limit to my gratitude. Thank you, lauren3210, for polishing and doing a fabulous and fast beta job. All remaining faults are my own.
I would love to say "Thank you!" to our wonderful mods. It was a pleasure and I'm so happy to be part of this year's erised's artists and authors gang.

Well, I'm still feeling like a millionfish in a pond full of kois, but as I fell in love with all the shiny fics and art, that's not at all a bad feeling.

Did you all find the time to read my wonderful present Days Before You Came by bloodisshrp? It's adorable, and I'm sure she'll be happy to get some more love. Thank you so much, hon, for your great fic! ♥

Oooh, I enjoyed bouncing plot ideas and alphareading so much, you have no idea!

Watching your idea grow and turn into this absolutely great story was pure pleasure.

Let me tell you how much you improve with every fic you write; I think only another non-native speaker can imagine what it means to write in a second language! ♥♥♥
