Well-written and engaging, but rather disconcerting. Draco is the protagonist and that’s fine, but I didn’t love the rewrite that takes away Harry’s hero’s journey and makes Draco the core of the Potterverse. This story basically turns it into a Dracoverse. Sure, there are no real rules in fanfiction - the sky is the limit - but giving Harry’s feats to Draco kind of defeats the point of the entire universe (canon and non-canon). It was an interesting experiment, but I want Harry to still be the hero.

It’s hilarious, it’s honest, it’s really rather sweet, the characters feel like the teenagers they still are and the war veterans that they happen to be, too. The romance is believable, the insecurities are real, and the happy ending feels earned. I loved every single piece of this. If Drarry fic is your thing, don’t skip this one....more
3.5 stars. Wonderfully clever take on Harry and Draco, and the author gets their characters right, unlike a lot of fanfiction authors. The middle sags3.5 stars. Wonderfully clever take on Harry and Draco, and the author gets their characters right, unlike a lot of fanfiction authors. The middle sags, though, hence the loss of half a star. I also would have appreciated more time with them being explicitly in love. Still, this was extremely well done - one of the better Drarry fics I’ve read. Definitely recommended....more
A solid 3.75. I wish it had been a bit more clear how they fell in love in the first place and why they broke up, but as reunion stories go, this was A solid 3.75.

It was mostly curtain fic (which was okay, in principle), but WAYSolid writing, strong characterizations, but the narration needed to be cut in half.
