I was looking at your master list, and this story immediately intrigued me. Then I read it and, oh, my god. I don't even know where to begin, so I apologize in advance if this comment seems all over the place.
I loved the structure of the story, how you nearly started in medias res and then built around it -- it worked perfectly, and the repetition of the beginning just before the climax was so . . . careful and thoughtful and just all of the feels.
I love that Harry finds normal so incredibly boring, so what does he do? Tries to figure out what Draco is "up to". Sigh.
“I like it,” he said, turning the leather bound book over in his hands. “It says things that I feel but don’t know how to express.”
“Like what?”
“I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.”
Oh, god. Can I just live in this little piece of the story? Please? It's full of a romantic fragility that just lingers throughout the whole story. Perfectly executed.
I adore Draco's elusiveness in this, he's just out of Harry's reach, but right there, laying open, in the pages of the books that he reads. You made him romantic, and my, did I fall.
And Harry falling for him as he reads . . . so overcome with desire that he can't stand to stay suspended in another moment without touching Draco. Literally everything.
This was beautifully written. Please know that I enjoyed it immensely. I am going to read as much of your work as possible. Your writing reaches me in a way that not many stories are able to.
