4.5?
Maybe it's because I had a break in the form of real-life in the midst of reading this book unlike 'The Fallout' which was longer but was read without a break the entire time but this book didn't consume me as fully as The Fallout did. And I guess I am not even saying that this was worse for it. It's less intense than The Fallout but I think I like the characterisations of both Hermione and Draco better in this one. Also, the romance itself is different in both, I don't know if I would call one better than the other but one is definitely healthier than the other and given that the fallout is set in a fucking war it's easy to guess which one that is. I think I liked the frequency of intimate scenes in this one and they might have been written differently as well (not as gratuitous as in the other and more idk poetic unless I am forgetting the poetry from the fallout). On the whole, the fallout is much sadder and more poetic as well and that's why it affected me so much I think. Now that I think about it maybe that's the reason I thought this was lovey-dovey while reading it even though the romance isn't much at all in this one (most of it just focuses on the espionage stuff). It's because the fallout is drenched with sadness and despair that comes with war even if you are optimistic. The stakes were much lower in this one and it was kind of a mission instead of the constant hell that is a war. It was lighter and shorter as well, literally, no one dies in the entirety of the book, not any named characters anyway.
I like it and I have no complaints really. If I had read it before The Fallout it would definitely have been 5 stars I think.
Everythursday's Draco affects me like no other person.
Who is Everythursday? If they are writing stuff even today, I wanna read it. I don't even care what it is like if you are writing academic papers or newspaper articles or tumblr posts or whatever please let me read them. I wish I knew this writer like I know John Green.

I love good fanfiction. It's one of my guilty pleasures, I enjoy it way too much.

April 25, 2023I think the cues and buildup and UST are way more subtle in this one than even Parade of the Sun and nothing like The Fallout. It's definitely GOOD but it's way more spy plot than draco/hermione, so just be aware. There is a LOT that I think you have to infer from the days not mentioned, so even though that's somewhat everythursday's style it's harder to get into if you're not aware or are looking for a pretty romance-driven plot.

A glimpse into the world of espionage! This was definitely a slow burn. There are a number of small moments that work to build up to something more and/or have double meanings, which I think the author is excellent at portraying. The resolution felt like it zipped by, considering the buildup, but still satisfying.

I really enjoy Every writing style, her characterization of H and D and their dialogues.
The slow build of their relationship that goes from enemies to friends to lovers.
But the ending is always so abrupt
I really loved to see more from their relationship, even if it was just a glimpse into their future

Too much slow burn for my taste. It’s more “spy/war plans” than actually romance. It’s good (writing same to The Fallout) but not my cup of tea.

I liked this softer Draco and that Hermione was a bit more competent than in everythursday other books.

May 17, 2024This format was interesting and a little off-putting to be honest. But overall, this was an enjoyable read and I liked it way more than I thought I would!

The calendar days like The Fallout still annoys me because it makes the story kinda disjointed, but the writing is beautiful and the characters are very interesting.

20 chapters / 187k words
post war / forced proximity / spy draco / a bit of romance / a bit of smut / eventual HEA
About the story
Voldemort is dead, but a few years after defeating the Dark Lord, rumors are circulating that his remaining followers are recruiting again.
Hermione is tasked with making Draco Malfoy, who is serving his sentence in Azkaban, an offer he cannot refuse. He is to infiltrate the movement and work his way up to help the Ministry crush the "revival" before it can do any real damage.
My thoughts
The story is written in the typical Everythursday style. Fragmented with many dialogues, arguments and monologues all from Hermione's POV.
Particularly in focus are the trauma that Hermione still carries from the war and Draco's struggle to make himself useful as a double agent but at the same time not to do anything that could corrupt his soul.
The romance sets in very, very late. There isn't much smut in this story, but as always, Everythursday manages to write Hermione and Draco in a way that few in this fandom can.
The ending feels very anticlimatic after all the tension buildup and doesn't quite do the rest of the story justice.
Still, it remains a great story especially for those who want to read Dramione away from classic tropes.
