The Illusion that One Can Get Things Right: ★ ★ ★ . 5
umbrellaless22
Tropes:
– Draco/Harry fanfiction
– Single dads
Ginny walks out on Harry and their four kids right when Al is supposed to have a playdate with Scorp. Enter Draco Malfoy, seemingly the perfect parent who has it all together despite his son’s “medical condition”. And when Draco offers to help, Harry can’t say no—he needs the help. And for some reason, he needs Draco too.
So this was cute and moved pretty slow… I really enjoyed it but I feel like it lacked something idk what!! There wasn’t rlly a resolution to the “medical condition” and I know there’s a part 2, I just don’t know if this intrigued me enough to pick up that part too.

A story of life after divorce, though this one is more like Ginny packing up and leaving the family without goodbye.
I hated her for the whole duration of the fic.
Harry’s life is is shambles. The children are heartbroken. Draco is doing the most.
This story has so many elements that make it complex and intriguing. Scorpius has a ‘health condition’, Draco is into BDSM but not the soft kind. Harry might be demisexual -scratch that- I’m sure he is. He is also powerful but doesn’t use his powers. Albus is brilliant. Remus is Harry’s last baby.
I’ll check the second part of the story now.

Loved the domesticity of this fic. The emotions were very well written, the ending could’ve been done better but still looking forward to the next part!
