This is probably the most realistic reaction to one of the boys suddenly growing wings that I've read in a drarry fic. But definitely not my favorite.

Harry just came across as too cynical and bitter and defensive. And Draco came across as too shallow and naive.

I have to admit that the description of Harry's wings was the most spectacular. Gaining wings from a Phoenix, the colors and different hues and the shimmer of them was beautifully well-described, and made me wish I had any sort of artistic talent whatsoever so I could make a fanart of this fic.

Favorite Quotes:
He got a bit more battered and chipped each year as he went through life.
But that was preferable to the alternative where he was perfectly preserved because he wasn't moving anymore.

That's the part I was wrong about. I thought that either what I wanted was all-important or what you wanted was. But what we want is most important.

As always in Lomonaaeren's stories magic and characterization plays most important role.

Harryden biraz nefret ettim. İhtiyaç duyduğu çözümü verebilecek tek kişi olan Draco'yken ve o yardım etmeye çalışırken sırf bunun için bile olsa daha nazik davranmasını beklerdim. Draco'yu tersleyip sonra da kapısına geri geldiği her defa da Draco'nun siktir git demesini bekledim haha Bunun dışında, Harry'nin başına gelenler çok acımasızcaydı ve onun kanatlarıyla yaşamak zorunda olmasıyla empati kurdum. Bu konu da Harry'nin hissettiği şeyler ve tepkileri çok gerçekçiydi. İlişkilerinin ilerleyişinin gerçekçi olması güzeldi. Bir anda aşk yoktu ama sonunun biraz daha uzun olup ikisinin daha yakın ve tam bir çift gibi okumayı istedim.
