Ha! I think I recently mentioned that I saw Thomas and knew he was Harry's brother even before I got into the books (which is fine), and then I did get into the books - and started Karrin, and had to friend everybody. But for added tickle: your awesomeness with Thomas added to my willingness to start Justine... just sayin'.
Just two? You mean I've got to choose between the charm, flirtatiousness, banter with Harry, confictedness, dealing with the complexities of his awesomeness, the awesomeness, the in-characterness regardless of AU-ing, the greatness in exploring situations he'd not be into in canon (o hai thar, mom!), including the illusionary scene with her in OLR... HMPH.
I love how you bring out the conflict in him. Because AU or canon, he's conflicted. It's mostly Justine and Harry's fault, I'm certain, but he is. (and, in the other 'verse, the way he was raised, of course...) He has times when he can't not surrender to his demon, but the rest of the time, he's denying himself in ways that most people wouldn't understand. And you bring that out without reducing him to a whiner.
And I love how you manage to bring out his attractiveness in roleplay without having to constantly make it explicit with 'he's irresistible' kind of ooc / non-speech comments. You lure people into reacting to him the appropriate way... and that? Is pretty awesome.
