Review:
It's very annoying when stories you read and loved years ago disappear on you (and if anyone can find me a working link to Kirsah's Virgin Sacrifice I'd be much obliged!). Fortunately Teague's fiction is still present on the 'net, and while that's so I'd like to bring this lovely little piece of Percy/Oliver fiction to your attention.
It's very nearly canon-compliant, in a strange sort of way. Suppose, as many O/P stories do, that Percy's blind loyalty to the Minister was an act, and he's actually a spy. More than that, he's Dumbledore's spymaster, and so he has to get reports from his contacts in a variety of ways. With Oliver, he has dinner at a really nice restaurant once a week. Where Oliver flirts gently and Percy is confused.
The writing style is very gentle, and fits the couple well. Despite the brevity of the story we get a sense of Oliver's passion for Quiddich and of Percy's quick-thinking nature very clearly, but without having it thrown in our faces. It's rather sweet, and that's probably it has stuck with me all this time.
