Why this must be read:
Ron/Draco is a pairing, kind of like Snape/Sirius lite, that has that love/hate thing going on (or rather, that sexual attraction/hate thing). They are also very hard to write without slipping into clichés and insults that fall completely flat. Still, Ron/Draco is one of my top three favorite pairings in this fandom. This is the fic I point to whenever someone wants to know why. I’m Not in Denial is basically THE Ron/Draco fic.
I’m Not in Denial starts off with that tried and true R/D plot device- Ron and Draco get into a argument, it turns physical, and then it turns physical. What happens here, though, is not what you might expect. INiD is a little slow at the beginning, but once you get into it I dare you to stop before you've finished.
One of the things I like most about this fic is that it is very canon-oriented. The overall plot with Harry is something I could definitely see happening in the books. In addition the characterizations of Ron, Harry, Hermione- hell everyone- are spot-on.
Draco’s characterization is particularly fabulous, though. (I would venture to say the best I’ve ever come across.) Mamalaz isn’t out to redeem Draco here. He doesn’t have a heart of gold, and he’s not that wretchedly misunderstood emotional weeping Draco you find in many horrible fics. Nope. This Draco is a foul-mouthed, selfish, manipulative bastard who’s damn sexy and knows it (and you’ll adore him anyway). Oh, and he’s not gay at all. Not even remotely…
After a couple of minutes of silent glaring at each other, Weasley finally managed to regain his wits (and his breath) as he shook his head slowly and looked at Draco with those wide, disgusted though thoroughly scared-looking and sexy blue eyes.
“I… I always knew you were nutters, Malfoy but I… never bloody guessed that you were some sick queer fairy as well.”
Although he spoke with a shaky and scared tone (where the fuck had the anger gone? Fucking Gryffindor…) Draco could see he was trying to cover his shocked and pale expression with a look of revulsion. Nice fucking try, Weasley. And did he honestly just call Draco a shit-stabber when he was simply screaming ‘I’m a closet Homo – do me now, oh Stunning Slytherin’?
The blonde boy hissed between his bared teeth. Nobody was ever allowed to call him homosexual. Not gorgeous wanker Weasley. Fuck, not even himself. And before he could even think of continuing with his controlled and cold behaviour, Draco snapped.
“Who the fuck are you calling pansy-arsed, you ginger prick? You’re the one who got off when I put my hands up your fucking robes… Remember, Weasel?”
Well, that memory sure pissed his fiery little angel off. So that’s where his anger had disappeared to…
Damn. Weasley really was too jumpworthy for words when he went all red and intimidating like that. Sexy, trembling little shit. With a smirk, Draco supposed that he might have well finished his taunting with a proper insult. “Or are you so pathetic that you even get a rise when that filthy little Mudblooded bitch touches you as well…?”
He had obviously hit a nerve.
Before Draco could finish his sneering sentence properly, Weasley had, like so many other times in their duelling history, growled in pure rage then pounced on the Slytherin ferociously.
In all honesty, it took Draco a minute or two to recover from the initial shock of the attack… and then it took the Slytherin more than just a couple of minutes to actually realise that Weasley wasn’t exactly punching him.
Jesus fucking Christ.
The Weasel wasn’t just not punching him.
The violent little prick was kissing his face off with brutal force.

(btw, MamaLaz has also written a pre-slashy prequel to this, The Yule Ball According to Draco Malfoy (you don’t have to read it first, though) and a WiP sequel Resurrection: Still Not in Denial. Check them out, too!)
