Ok spoiler but the Theo/Lavender werewolf ship is a new favourite side pairing

4-5 stars. ‘Finished’ as in I reached chapter 60 which is all that is available at this time. I will say, it feels like it could be an actual ending anyway, tho I will certainly come back and finish whenever it’s available.
Such a well written story. It was written in a way that felt very true to cannon. I loved how part 1 took the main aspects of HP6 and spun them, yet still found a way for the story to continue almost in line with the original story/plot
. Part 2 was also amazing.
I love Draco. Love that he isn’t made into a soft character with no hard edges. He remains so very Malfoy, but just an improved version who retained his snarky ways. I love all the non-camping changes.. the characters we got to know better in this story were such a bonus.
All these stories that include the trials at the end of the war really do make me think about how difficult it can be to differentiate between right and wrong in the best way. Truly love and feel for Theo in this.

This fic and The Disappearances of Draco Malfoy have very similar vibes.

4.9 ⭐️

Loved the core story, the development in part 1, the heart churning devastation in part 2, and the rebuilding in part 3. Masterfully written, no notes there. Beautiful character perspectives, and seamless transitions into side character POVs. Some chapters I’ll come back to reread just to relive the works of art. I only felt let down by the last 3 chapters and felt an unnatural tug to finish the last couple’s POV. But I adored the final chapter back with Hermione.

Beautiful.

3.5 / 5 stars

Story technically isn’t finished, but at 300,000 words I’m very satisfied with the current end point.

Ridiculously well written. The dialog (especially Draco’s) is the biggest strength. The writer elevates and expands on the source material massively. Highly recommend to any Dramione fans.

Dat was erg leuk en best wel verslavend. Ik ben absoluut niet bestand tegen een herschreven Draco Malfoy

Absolutely incredible descriptive language from the author. Can’t wait for the final chapters.

Easily one of the best Dramione stories I’ve read on ao3. Very surprised I don’t see it mentioned more often. A loooooooong behemoth that is essentially 3 books but very worthwhile.
