5 stars!
Harry is an auror, Draco is an art thief. Harry gets Draco released from Azkaban to help the Curses and Hexes Auror Division with information. Draco is under Harry’s custody, bond to him with a spell for the next four years…
The storytelling is amazing! I don’t think if I’ve ever even read anything like this before. It can be seen in movies though - what comes to my mind is King Arthur: Legend of the Sword
It’s the kind of fractured narrative structure when a character (Harry) first talks about something, but not exactly about the something, then you see it’s happening but not in flashbacks. I’m sure there is a term for it.
The writing is superb, the story is gripping, the characters are adults now, so there is development yet they are true to the original characterizations, the secondary characters are hilarious, the intimacy is palpable.
Highly recommended.

Harry smiled grimly. “That’s the last condition. That I’m the Auror you’re assigned to.”
Harry watched the smirk slowly crawl back into place. “Well, then. This should be interesting.”

So, so good! My new favorite of the fest that I've read so far!
This is a remix of the TV show White Collar as a Drarry fic. And it was masterfully done.
All of the best elements from the tv show were here, and the Drarry was excellent! Sweet and snarky and perfect.
This story even managed to make me not hate non-linear story telling. I thought that the author came up with a very clever way to overcome any time-line confusion by changing tenses. Present-tense Harry is sitting with Hermione, Ron and Ginny wondering if Draco's gone bad again. Past-tense is where we see Harry arrest Draco the first time, then need his help, and then the development of the relationship.
Lovely, lovely story!
Favorite Quotes:
"Anything you say will be presented to the Wizengamot at your trial via the use of a pensieve, so I'd advise you to shut your gob, if you're capable."
Luna smiled at him. "Look at it logically, Harry."
"Like you even know what logic is," Anthony grumbled.
"As much as I enjoy the occasional kink, must we really have the cuffs on every time you visit?"
So Harry did what he always did when truly fucked: he jumped in with both feet and firmly told the consequences that he would deal with them later.
and suddenly he knew he was never going to know how to give this up. Because how could he walk away from something that felt like he was made to do?
"What are you talking about? For a Gryffindor, this is the height of romance."
"I honestly can't tell if you're concussed or if long words just usually confuse you."
because falling would mean giving the one person he shouldn't all the tools he would need to break him.
"Don't pretend to be clever. You're neither clever nor good at pretending."
Ginny grins back at him. "Hey, if it weren't for you breaking my heart, I would never have gone to cry on Luna's shoulder." She shrugs. "Who knows, I might never have learned just how perfect her boobs are."

2.75 stars. M/M Harry Potter fan fiction.
I don’t normally read fanfic but gave it a shot due to the high reviews.
The plot and character development were good/decent. I never considered a pairing between Harry and Draco before! But the logic/genesis of their hatred is plausible but it is still hard to imagine them together!
I also found the writing a bit confusing as it is not clear if events were a flash back or current.
The ending was quite abrupt and a bit of a cliffhanger!
HFN at best.
