Yes, I did beta read this, but that's not why I'm reccing it. It's just that would probably never have read it otherwise. What I particularly like about this is how it gets into Dean's mind. This is slash without being voyeuristic and sensational. It's very organic, progressing realistically and naturally. The characters feel real, not like caricatures, or mere figures acting out the author's fantasies. I also very much enjoyed the characterization of Seamus as flamboyant yet not campy, self-assured but still sensitive. If you're worried about the rating, there's not really anything graphic until the last section. Give it a whirl!

Disclaimer: Wait, this story isn’t canon? No, I don’t own them.
Author's Notes: I was thinking about writing a really comprehensive essay on race and sexuality in Harry Potter, but then I realised how hard it would be to write a full-length paper on a handful of minor characters and one old man who likes knitting patterns, so this story was born. Also, it’s my first fanfic, so thorough and honest concrit would be much appreciated :) My eternal gratitude goes to swissmarg for her amazing and incredibly comprehensive beta skills. All mistakes are mine.
