Harry isn’t a martyr, but he’ll receive Draco’s devotion anyway.
________________________________
Author's Note: It was so interesting remixing this fic, a dark, difficult, yet ultimately beautiful piece. I chose this one from glittering_git's impressive body of work because it stuck with me so long after beta-reading it. I tried to treat this with as much love as the original. (And with care for the subject matter; my family is Catholic. I’m not allowed to receive communion though, I was never baptized. It’s a long story.) The title comes from the Latin consummō, -āre “to consummate,” to finish or perfect, although the word play for ‘consume’ is obviously there. Thank you to the-cellar-spiral for beta reading and for the inspired idea of words missing us if unused. Thanks to the mods for running this fest again! I would recommend possibly reading the pieces side by side; I have doubled the word count in each section, as Harry takes in Draco's devotion and becomes more.

Mod Note: While we would always encourage reading the fic which inspired a remix, you shouldn't feel you have to do so. It's OK to just dive straight into the remix!
