Uggh, I have had a million and one things to do these past few days and all I want to do is find a half hour to read this! I finally just reached the point where I decided to shirk my duties, and snuck off to read porn during work. What can you do?
ANYWAYS
Okay, I'm going to start with the end because this right here "There are a series of small but distinct bruises, each one the size of a man's fingerprint, pressed lovingly into my skin. Like a string of tiny promises wrapped around my wrist." Might actually be the most beautiful ending I've ever read. God, it's just so fucking perfect and lovely and sums up the whole fic so beautifully and just...I seriously am almost tearing up. Which, it's been a weird and draining week, but still.
And your Draco! I mean, this is why I love fanfic, you know. Because this Draco is so very different from the Draco in, say, your Rough Magic fic, but it's still Draco. I can so clearly see him here, feel his almost despair and hopelessness at his life after the war. See his nervousness in even accepting the hope that Harry brings.
I love how you fit in some cross-gen here, and I love that older Draco was the mastermind behind the plot. I just adore the idea of him wanting to send a little bit of his own happiness back to comfort his younger self. And then Harry. Who's just so lovely, and earnest, and sincere. He came across so beautifully, and I just ached for this Draco to have the relationship that Harry and future!Draco have together.
I don't know why this fic is giving me SO MANY FEELINGS, but it is, and I love it, and I just want to cuddle this Draco for a bit.
