MIMICRY.

A short story in which the art thief meets the self-doubting artist he stole a painting from. And in return, she paints a picture of the thief that stole her painting in the first place.

.

"Why did you steal it? It's not like it's some priceless piece of art, I'm no Picasso."

"I stole it because it's beautiful. Simple as that."

.

Mimicry: the action or art of concealing one's true feelings and persona. to disguise one's true motives and or intentions.

This story is loosely based off of a true story, which I found to be extremely heartwarming and truly a large metaphor for life.

This is an art thief harry au, but obviously, that has nothing to do with Harry in real life outside of this book.

This looks like a dark Harry fic, and there are dark Harry moments, but take the title of this book into account. Soft Harry will come into play too ;)
