Rating: NC-17
Career Choices: Harry - Hit Wizard; Draco - Anti-Government Extremist
Warnings: Violence and other dark themes, excessive use of the word "fuck"
Summary: The work Harry does is justifiable. It’s justice. He works for his country, and his country is a republic—the magical side, anyway. It’s not laudable work, it’s not work he’s proud of, but it’s necessary work. Harry has always taken the necessary jobs that no one else has the stomach for. It's just that he's never deciphered a kill sheet and seen Draco Malfoy's name on it.

Author's Notes: This work is inspired by Zero at the Bone by Jane Seville. Some of the situations as well as a few lines of dialogue and descriptions come from there. A great big THANK YOU goes to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sophie_french for the beta.
So, this one is mine. Well, half-mine. I co-wrote this story with the lovely and amazingly-talentedzeitgeistic. I'll admit, I was a little nervous going into it because I've never co-written anything before and wasn't quite sure what to expect or how much I'd have to compromise what I wanted and where I wanted the story to go in order to fit what she wanted and where she wanted the story to go. As it turns out, I really needn't have worried. Writing with zeitgeistic was a tremendously positive experience. Everything she wrote and all the ideas she came up with lined up almost flawlessly with what I wanted to do and the story I had in my head, and really the biggest problem I had was they every time she added new scenes I'd end up flailing and fangirling over her awesome writing, which is not actually a bad problem to have, as far as problems go. Overall, putting this story together felt seamless.
And I love the story we told. It's by far the plottiest thing I've done, and the most fast-paced and action-y, and I think it says some very interesting things about "the greater good" and really, this was the most fun I've had while writing in a long time. Thanks so much to Z for being so wonderful to work with, and to Sophie for the fantastic beta-work, and of course to everyone who read and recced and commented. Love you guys. <3
